Interviewing
Let's get to know each other.
Our Interview Philosophy
We believe great conversations lead to great hires.
Interviews are designed to help us understand your skills, experiences, and aspirations while giving you the opportunity to learn about the team, role, and life at Kohler. We want you to feel comfortable and informed throughout the entire process.
Who You’ll Meet
First you’ll connect with a member of our recruiting team. Next up will be the hiring manager and possibly peers, cross-functional partners, or higher-level management. Each conversation offers a new perspective on the role and our culture.
You may also be asked to complete personality or skills-based assessments to help us understand your work style and unique capabilities.
How to Prepare
We use purposeful interview methods to understand how you think, solve problems, and collaborate.
- Be prepared to talk through real examples of your work
- Test your technology ahead of time if interviewing virtually
- Come prepared with questions to ask us
- Be yourself. We value authenticity and want to understand what you hope to achieve in your next chapter
We're Here to Help
As a global company, our interview experience can vary by role and location.
Your recruiter will share any important details, such as parking information, technology requirements for virtual interviews, equipment needed (e.g., steel-toed shoes), and how long you can expect your interviews to take.
Any questions? We’re here to support you!
Need an accommodation?
We’re committed to an inclusive and accessible hiring experience. If you need accommodation at any stage of the hiring process, please let your recruiter know.
