The Recruitment Process

Our RECRUITMENT PROCESS is designed to match the right candidates to the right jobs at the right time.  We offer a broad range of opportunities designed to provide the knowledge and skills you need to advance your career.  Our recruitment process allows both the candidate and the company to assess the job opportunity match based on the candidate’s experience and skills compared to the requirements of the position.

Schneider Electric is highly selective, so if you're chosen for a first round interview- congrats! We hold first round interviews both on campus and over the phone. The first round interview will give you and the interviewer the opportunity to learn if our organization and this role match up with your skills and career goals. You can expect to hear from a Schneider Electric recruiter within two weeks after your first round interview.

For full-time roles, if your first round interview is successful, you will likely be asked to attend an on-site second round interview at one of our business locations. The on-site is not just an interview, but what we hope you will see as an exciting event. This is your opportunity to get a real feel for the culture of Schneider Electric. The on-site is generally the last step in the interviewing process.

For internships and co-ops, you will either have a phone interview with a hiring manager or be asked to come to a Schneider Electric office for a face-to-face interview. We see internships as an opportunity for students to learn about what it's like to work in our organization as well as the overall industry. We also see internships as an opportunity to build relationships with students for potential full-time employment in the future.

The most exciting step in the process for both Schneider Electric and an applicant is the offer; at that point, we believe we have found a great fit. Offers are first given verbally, then with a verbal acceptance, an offer packet is sent out. It is important to fill out and return all necessary offer paperwork in a timely manner.

After you've accepted an offer with Schneider Electric, the recruitment process ends and you begin the on-boarding process. In the time between your offer and when you start, Schneider Electric will be busy preparing for your first day with us. Once you start your new job, you will go through an orientation program to learn more about your new role and responsibilities as an employee of Schneider Electric. This is your time to settle in, meet your new team and begin making a name for yourself. As mentioned above, Schneider Electric is highly selective throughout our recruiting process; if you are selected to come on-board, congratulations!

There are many ways for you to prepare yourself for a successful interview. First and foremost, you will want to familiarize yourself with company information and the requirements of the position. It is important to reflect on how your experiences, accomplishments and skills will enable you to be successful in this role with Schneider Electric. Each interview is designed to give you more information about our company and job requirements. Our recruiters use behavioral based interviewing questions to best assess your experiences and skills to the requirements of the position. Be prepared to demonstrate examples of your experiences, accomplishments and skills to us in a clear and meaningful way.
