Online Application You begin by submitting an application through the official Caterpillar careers portal with your CV, education details, and sometimes a cover letter or competency-based questions. 2. Online Assessments & Video Interview If your application passes initial screening, you’ll usually be invited to complete online assessments, which can include personality, situational judgement, and numerical or cognitive tests. Following this, there is often a pre-recorded video interview stage. You’ll receive questions (typically behavioural or competency-based, often STAR-style) which you record answers to within a set time. Some schemes give you a week to complete this.
