I first came in contact with Grainger while at a job fair. I became interested in the company and position because the representative they sent out had such great energy and enthusiasm. Since I wasn't graduating until this year, I only recently started the interviewing process. I had a phone interview with a recruiter which went really well. Since I had a good interview, they invited me to complete their Chally assessment so they could decide if I would be going to a face to face interview. I've taken the Chally assessment before so I knew what to expect and they were very pleased with my results. I was told that I would be reached shortly once they determined the final day and location for the interview. In the meantime they wanted me to fill out an official application online since I hadn't already done so. This is where problems started... They knew where I was from and I can imagine that the recruiter was fully aware of the restrictions on distance for jobs (you have to live within so many miles). She told me about two openings both of which were too far and not in the area we discussed. Luckily an opening for an area I could work in did open up shortly after, so I applied and notified my recruiter. About a week after that, my recruiter emailed me to let me know that she should be receiving the final schedule for the interview that day and that she would give me a call. About two hours after that, I got an automated email from Grainger in regards to the position I applied to saying that they would be moving forward with other candidates. I emailed my recruiter to let her know what happened and I haven't heard back. I think it's very interesting that I could pass a first interview, an assessment and be in the process for a second interview, and then get rejected through an online application.

Good process. Scheduling of the interview was well organized and flexible. The point of contact provided good information on how to drive to the interview and where to park. Upon arrival the experience was good but the interviews seemed to be strictly by the "book". The interview was not personalized enough but still a positive experience.
