2012 ExxonMobil Engineering Recruitment (Trainee and Experienced Professionals)

@Joker, I heard they need about 15 people but I'm hoping it's not true.

Mind you this is a multinational that has not recruited for the past 3yrs and are planning new projects. Every multinational has a standard or a model of their ideal candidate - the issue is how easy it is to satisfy their conditions given the realities and pressures of an interview. If u observe the way that interview was structured, It was just "you" and "Exxonmobil". No Issue of competition with other interview candidates n all that.

@msalvy. Source?

OMG! heard 15 too. Was seriously hoping it wasn't going to be true!

Yea Chavin. From feelers during the final interview, 15 seems to be closer to the personnel requisition for this year. Impressed with the speed and consistency of their process though.

Sent you a PM......Kindly acknowledge and respond

Seen! I've responded.

1. There are still a few people remaining to be called. Interviews will probably finish next week.
2. Performance will be ranked and the top guys will be given offers based on the number of people to be recruited by management. Thus, it's highly competitive.
3. The plan is to finish the process before the end of the year.
Yup! I am out!

Hate to burst your bubble but you ARE competing with other candidates. Companies have their expectations, yes, but in this situation, the hiring department makes a req to HR based on need. They have a set number that they need. They will simple pick the best candidates that meet up to their respective criteria. With regards to them no hiring for the past 3yrs, ol boy that doesn't mean a thing. Recruitment in the industry was slow based on three factors in order of importance - PIB and unknown future for the the nigerian pet sector, Need for new hires based on new projects, and long overdue retirees.
A lot of people that would have opted to retire prior to their official cutoff age are not doing it. If older folks don't retire, openings will no come up if new projects don't show up. Also, remember that MPN probably has less than 600 full time employees in total so to think they will need 150 is ludacris. When you consider the entire organization in naija i.e mobil oil plus esso + mpn it is probably like 1200 employees or so. Not trying to dampen your hopes but i think a realistic number would be between 10-30 max intakes.
