I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Smithfield Foods (Kinston, NC) in Apr 2014
Interview
I did a first interview at a hiring conference with one person who use to be a mechanic and if he liked you then he would recommend an interview with the maintenance superintendent.

I applied online. I interviewed at Smithfield Foods (Saint Charles, IL) in Aug 2017
Interview
I first got a phone interview and then I went in to interview at the facility a week later. I interviewed with human resource and the plant manager. The human resource person was friendly and professional. The plant manager was a different story.
