The hiring process at Kantar takes an average of 36 days when considering 3 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Jr market researcher had the quickest hiring process (on average 21 days), whereas Junior Research Executive roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 60 days).
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kantar in Sep 2012
Interview
The process itself is:
1) Phone screen
2) Phone interview
3) In person office visit
4) offer
Passing each phase is based on the experience of each person you speak with, and even after you have finished your formal interview process the opinions of people who you have only momentarily or informally spoken with will be weighed.
Each interview itself is easy though, they ask you basic questions. Behavioral questions like: what is your process for finishing tasks, how do you approach a problem, how have you handled problems in the past, etc. While they do care that you have substantive answers, they care more about whether you can speak and hold an intelligent and professional conversation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During your office visit you will sit down with a number of people and, inevitably, you will be given a test of your analytic skills. They give you an excel of data to analyze, they give you a computer with PowerPoint and excel and word: whatever you could possibly need to complete the question. there are specific thing's they are looking for in this test and if you have the ability to understand the data you will be able to point them out. This test represents the bulk of their judgement, but keep in mind: if you don't do well on the interview's you will likely not get the job even if you ace the test.
