Notice to Job Seekers

  • Recruitment Fraud Alert

    Please be aware of fraudulent job offers that are not affiliated with Agilent Technologies, Inc.

    Unsuspecting job seekers have reported receiving unsolicited contacts by phone, email or text from individuals purporting to be Agilent employees or representatives. These individuals have been offering fraudulent employment opportunities to applicants and often ask for sensitive personal and financial information.  This type of fraud tends to occur through online services including bogus websites, social media accounts, online job boards, or through unsolicited emails or text messages.  The fraudulent offers may include letters with the Agilent logo, the name of actual Agilent employees, and phone numbers in an effort to convey authenticity. Agilent is cooperating with law enforcement officials to address these fraudulent activities

    Warning Signs of Fraudulent Activity

    • If you receive solicitations, recruiting or hiring documentation, advertisements, or emails that contain spelling and grammatical errors, or which are poorly formatted.
    • Requests for personal information early in the process, such as your address, date of birth, passport information, social security number, or banking details are also signs of potentially fraudulent activity. Agilent has a confidential and documented communication process for requesting personal information once a formal offer has been made to an applicant.
    • If you receive an email from an email address at a domain that is not affiliated with the company (for example, @yahoo.com, @gmail.com, @live.com, @consultant.com, etc.), or a domain that mimics – but is not actually the same as – the domain used by the company.  Agilent email addresses all end with @agilent.com or @non.agilent.com.
    • If you applied for a position or received a notice for a position at Agilent and it does not appear on our website, please disregard it.
    • Agilent will never ask you to submit for a position via email – we only accept online applications submissions via our Agilent Career Centre at https://agilent.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Agilent_Careers for experienced candidates or https://agilent.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Agilent_Student_Careers for graduates and students candidates.
    • Applicants are asked to participate in an “interview” by chat or email. Agilent does not conduct “interviews” by chat or email.
    • Insistence on urgency for you to act on the correspondence received within very short time frames should cause concern and may indicate potentially fraudulent activity.

Prepare for the Hiring Process

  • I’ve applied to an Agilent job opening – what happens next?

    When you apply to a specific job, you’ll receive an email acknowledgment. Then, based on a review of your qualifications, you may be contacted by phone to discuss your experience and the available position. Depending on the outcome of that conversation we may schedule time for you to interview with more Agilent representatives. In the event that a more qualified candidate is selected for the position, you will receive an e-mail message from Agilent encouraging you to apply for other positions.

  • If I'm selected for an interview, what should I expect?

    The interview process is an opportunity for both Agilent and you to determine if Agilent is a good fit. We use behavioral interviewing to learn more about your skills and experiences. Our interviewers will also ask you to discuss your past accomplishments in depth to determine if your background and experience meet the position requirements, and you'll have the opportunity to ask questions about the job, the team and Agilent.

  • How can I prepare for my interview?

    Do your research -

    • Review the job posting and identify examples from your work experience which demonstrate required skills and technical competencies. Consider your recent challenges and successes, identifying those which demonstrate your potential for success in the Agilent role.

    • Elaborate on managing priorities, successfully addressing teamwork challenges, making decisions and solving tough problems.
    • Review our website and published company information to familiarize yourself with our businesses, customers, and performance culture.
    • Consider our customer base: What are they looking for? What solutions does Agilent provide? How does Agilent differentiate itself in the market?
