What is the hiring process at Lenovo?

Candidates can apply for more than one role at any particular time. All job descriptions should detail the academic skills and experience required for the role. When applying for vacancies, it is important to only apply for positions you meet the requirements.

Next, The Lenovo hiring process requires candidates to sit for four separate ability tests. Each test is timed and is meant to assess a specific aptitude:

• Diagrammatic reasoning: ability to problem solve using abstract information such as shapes or patterns.

• Numerical reasoning: how well candidates can use numerical information to solve problems.

• Verbal reasoning: candidate's ability to read and understand words and passages of text and then use this information to answer the questions that follow.

• Logical reasoning: candidate's ability to reason and come to logical conclusions using non-verbal information.

Additional tests may be included for those who have applied for specialist vacancies or program-specific vacancies. Candidates may be asked to complete the tests following application submission or after successfully completing the interview stage.

Depending on the role or program applied for, interviews can either be via zoom or face to face. Zoom interviews are usually post-application stage and last around 45 minutes. The questions are focused on assessing a candidate's technical abilities (where relevant) and their behaviors in work situations.

These questions require candidates to share their actions in previous past work or educational situations and give an insight into a candidate's values and traits.

Candidates that reach the final stage of the Lenovo hiring process are invited to attend a face-to-face interview. Behavioral and technical questions focused on understanding a candidate's skills and experience better are asked in this interview.

Candidates' responses to questions also help recruiters to determine how well they will fit into the working culture at Lenovo and their on-the-job performance.

The entire hiring process at Lenovo takes an average of 37 days. Candidates applying for Intern have the quickest hiring process (on average five days), whereas Software Engineer roles have the slowest hiring process (on average 39 days).
