Boeing usually finds and hires competent employees through an established hiring process. The Boeing hiring process consists of the following stages:
1. Job Application Process
Submitting an online application is the initial thing to do when applying for a job at Boeing. Simply visit the company’s career site and fill an application form and submit. The form will require some necessary details from you. Ensure to provide all the required information so the recruiting team can treat the application seriously.
Personal information, such as your name, phone number, location, email address, and a few other details will be required to be provided in the application form. The online application might also request your resume or CV, so ensure to include it.
2. Online Aptitude Test
After the completion of your online application form, you will be notified to know if you can proceed to the next stage of the hiring process – the aptitude test.
The test may involve three sections:
Situational judgment test: During this part of the test, you will be given some scenarios that you might experience as a Boeing employee; you will have to detect the best and most horrible courses of action. It would be necessary for you to apply common sense, and the appreciation of the criteria to succeed in a professional environment, and to offer appropriate responses.
Numerical reasoning test: This test is conducted to examine if you are ably to understand formerly unseen passages – including their data. You will need to calculate basic GCSE mathematics, and each question in this test must be answered in less than one minute.
Technical test: This particular test is conducted to examine your practical skills. For instance, if an applicant is seeking engineering, IT, or data analytic roles, he or she will undergo a test based on the crucial skills, mechanical, or programming knowledge.
3. Phone Interview
Once you have passed the aptitude test successfully, you will be contacted to participate in a phone interview conducted by a professional at the company.

4. Boeing Assessment Centre
A screening exercise at the Boeing Assessment Centre comes after the phone interview. If you pass the phone interview, the recruiting team will contact you to come to the Assessment Centre to participate in some exercise alongside other applicants.
The exercises you might undergo are:
Boeing Group Exercise: this group exercise is being conducted to know if you are able to work with a team efficiently. During the task, various Boeing workers will closely detect your problem–solving skills when working with a team. It is advised to confidently share and argue for your ideas but be prepared also to make contributions to the input of someone else.
Presentation exercise: This exercise is conducted by the recruiting team to test your communication skills.
During the exercise, the assessors will be observing your body language and manner of approach to know if you are able to deliver a professional presentation, participate in group discussions, and make your audience understand your opinion.
