I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at L'Oréal (Florence, KY) in Sep 2014
Interview
I was called by a temporary service about this position which was not advertized. The representative found my resume on monster.com and decided that I would be a good fit for this position and sent the resume over to Loreal. Loreal called the temp service and requested that I come in for an interview the following day which I agreed to. There were two interviewers present, the head of the HR department and the assistant QC Lab Manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None of the questions were very difficult. It's just that there weren't very many of them and the responses that I got from the interviewers towards my answers were somewhat apathetic. The entire interview took less than 10 minutes. Also I noticed that both interviewers were looking at their cell phones (probably checking the time) when I was answering their questions. It's almost as if they had already selected a candidate but I was being interviewed as a curteousy to someone, of course that is purely speculation. It could be that they had someone with a completely different profile in mind altoghether at some point early in the interview process. I didn't get any other feedback about the interview other than that I was not being considered.
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at L'Oréal (Edison, NJ) in Sep 2021

the interviews were friendly and asked interesting questions that were relevant to the job and prior experiences (academic) in the science field and personal projects. the interview was a group interview
