I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Manpower (Frederick, MD) in Oct 2016
Interview
Talked over the phone to get the basics, and then went in to take assessments and have an in person interview. The assessments were just a review of Microsoft Office programs, relatively simple. The interview itself wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Everyone who I met in the office was friendly and welcoming. Overall positive experience!!
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Manpower (Amsterdam)
Interview
First, I was called into the Amsterdam office, which is three hours from my home, and it cost me around 75 euros to travel there and back. Halfway to the interview location, they told me that the interview was not scheduled because the recruiter had forgotten about it. When I explained my situation, they made time for me, which was appreciated, but the person conducting the interview seemed to be in a rush, and overall, it felt strange. They also didn't look at my CV properly and made assumptions about my previous roles. In the end, they hired someone internally.

I applied online. I interviewed at Manpower (Kuala Lumpur) in Mar 2026
Interview
asked about past experience and job expectations, they also share about how their internal structure works and check whether I have any questions to ask, interviewer was nice and willing to answer my questions. but other staff was quite busy.
I had a great experience with the interview process. It began with a phone interview, which was followed by a second-round virtual interview via Microsoft Teams. Both interviews were well-organized, and the communication was clear throughout. Shortly after completing both rounds, I received an offer — the turnaround was impressively quick. Overall, the process was efficient, respectful, and made me feel valued as a candidate
