Chief P14real, you are not the Recruiting admin am sure so u can't say usually 3 times a year, cos SLB rarely did any recruitment from 2009 till early 2010 due to the low activity that even sent many employees on redundancy. Sure their recruitment is based on segment demands and E&P projections from the clients (the producing coys like SNEPCo, ADDAX, Exxon, Total and Agip).
The advert is real, though its coming from SMITH, a company recently acquired by SLB, and i think the recruitment processes will still be Smith's way.
I have not witnessed SMITH test before to say how it'll be anyway, cos i only started looking into their activities after the acquisition, but its worth preparing well for.
Good luck to you guys.
