No English Test... Done with my Video Interview..

Same 2 Emails.. as usual that i have passed my Video Interview. Let you know abt BHE

Sad news for some of us. Just received news today that the job posting was no longer available. i knew it meant my application had been declined and truely i checked my status
on the job page and it read application declined. the journey is over for some of us but good luck to those who passed the video interview. All the best.

Yes, my mistake, it is Submissions under "My Jobpage". October was was a super long time ago... But still, at least you are in the system. Mine was last updated yesterday. The problem in your case is "Interview In Progress" - it should say "Evaluation In Progress". So not looking too good. Do you have a Baker Hughes office in your country? Meanwhile, put Baker Hughes out of your mind, it's really a 50/50 chance. Enjoy the festive season and begin panicking in late January.
Have you considered Schlumberger & Halliburton?

ouuch..da truth really hurts..guess its abt time i actualy forgot abt thm..thanks for all yr help n al da best

Hi guys, I am from Mozambique and we had our BHE with candidates from South Sudan & Ethiopia.
Good thing you made it past the video interview but the bad news is "Interview In Progress" isn't a promising sign. It should say "Evaluation In Progress". It took my group almost 2 months to get feedback from out telephone interview. Oh I forgot to mention we also had an online English test after the telephone interview.
If they gave you a timeline of when the BHE would happened, I understand your worries. But maybe give it until February, at least you're in the system. The people, in my opinion, who should be worried are the ones who were never contacted to begin with. As I explained before, for the most part they pick who they want and ignore the rest. Just try and move on and if something does come up, good. But don't depress yourself obsessing about something that might never be.
To see if there is any activity going on with your application, check the "My Jobs" tab of your profile and look at the date.
Also try other oil service companies in your respective countries. Baker Hughes is one out of many!

very true..not a promising sign. whn u say "My Jobs" i assume u re refering to "My Jobpage" and thn u look at submissions. Cos dat is wat i hav on da webpage whn i log into my account. dnt knw if anyone has anythng different. if so thn under completed submissions da date ther is exactly da day i did my video interview wch was in mid october..."last updated = date of interview for me". again i dnt knw if anyone with "interview in progress" has da same thng like me.

Your friend has to be patient...but what is interesting is that they always get back to you.
I hope that will help.

Hello Nairalanders, 

I had my Baker Hughes experience at the end of August and was fortunate enough to be selected to join the company. My group didn't have a video interview, we instead were interviewed telephonically - more or less the same thing though. One thing I'd like all of you to know is if you really want a job with an oil services company, patience must be your best friend. I applied in April, was only contacted in June by a recruiter, had my telephone interview in July, attended the BHE in August and since then have been waiting for my contract. It really is a drawn out process. As for the merger, Baker Hughes & Halliburton are distinct and independent until the antitrust issues are dealt with in the second half of next year. Hence the merger has no bearing on recruitment. The same should apply to plummeting oil prices because it is only temporary - they will be as high as ever next year, this time. I emailed my recruiter and she said the two mentioned factors were in no way going to hamper my joining of the company. So in a nutshell, if you did your video interview and passed, exercise a little bit of patience. You will probably be contacted next year, constantly check your profile to see if the dates are changing under the "My Jobs" tab. So just relax, they are probably preoccupied with other things. As for the guys with "Application Under Review", it is probably best to move on. A friend of mine applied for a position early this year and was never contacted. She subsequently applied for a position next year and didn't get a reply. My belief is they select who they want and completely forget about the rest. That's how cutthroat the industry is. Look for other opportunities whilst keeping BH as an afterthought. It'll save you sleepless nights. If you need anything else, I am here for you. I wanted to reply much sooner but the site wouldn't let me until a week had elapsed :p

thanks for all u hav said..its true, patience is rly important..its just dat dey (BH) gav us timelines as to BHE n al dat so i believ we wer all lookn forward to it. it was scheduled for november in my country yet nothn as at now..dat being said can u shed some light into yr BHE so dat we can all learn frm it.. no one has been able to giv details as to really happens during da BHE..al i knw for example re presentations, group interview n personal interview..

GeoAlpha:
she attended weeks ago. she was invited to netherlands. i think it is because i am not Italian but at the same time the BH recrutiment process states that when u passed the english test then u get in vite for BHE. so i am confused. i got my english result november 11, 2014.

After she attended the BHE, has she been contacted again to see if she had passed or not?. for me i want to believe the merger is causing this. but it wouldnt hurt if BH sends us sort of email to put our minds at ease..we all need some sort of closure. altleast if u knw u haven't passed, as painfull as it may be, u wld try to get over it and move on. Not continue to wait in silence n become anxious all da time.. my status says "interview in progress.". been like dat since mid october .it just doesnt make any sense.

SolutionsGuy:
I understood Baker Hughes has put recruitment on hold. I don't think graduate FEs are among though, an experienced candidate was informed just a few days before she was scheduled to discuss her offer package. It is not clear, however, if this development is related to the Halliburton/Baker merger or the falling oil price.

well that would make alot of sense if recruitment is on hold. i think graduate FEs are part. i know someone who has passed the video interview but he hasnt been contacted for two weeks now. i also think the merger might be causing this.
