Colloquio
I had applied online through LinkedIn and got an email for initial screening. After that they sent me a link for the test.
The test was for 2hrs 15 minutes with 2 sections.
The test is extremely difficult and stressful. The first part is majorly about grammar and the second is about writing and editing.
The strange thing is they don’t check the test results after conducting it. After giving the test I got a call for an interview. The interview was about my previous experiences and some technical questions related to the profile.
After silence for 2 weeks i emailed the HR to know about any feedback. He replied to say that they wont be moving forward with the candidacy as my test results were not satisfactory.
Why would you call me for an interview if my test results were not satisfactory or if you didn’t have the results?
What was the point of the test then?
Very bad process and unnecessarily stressful and time consuming.
1 RH interview and then a very long and stressful technical writer test.
The Rh Interview was just regular RH questions, like “Why do you want to work at SAP?” and other questions about your CV.

Colloquio
I applied for the position via the SAP website and was contacted shortly after by their AI assistant to select an online interview time. I chose an afternoon time slot.
I rate the interview as "Difficult" as there wasn't an interview, and the HR person who contacted me had been put in a bad spot by their supervisor.
About an hour before the scheduled interview time, the HR person called me and very apologetically told me that their supervisor had interviewed someone that morning, offered them the job on the spot, and then told the HR person to cancel any remaining interviews.
Given the tone of the HR person in the call, I think they were sincerely upset by the situation and would rather have done the interview as scheduled.
The interview for the Technical Writer role was professional and engaging. The interviewer assessed my writing skills, attention to detail, and ability to simplify complex concepts. We discussed documentation processes, collaboration, and industry tools.
