Essar’s selection process
depends on the level of the position you are
applying for. For entry-level positions, we
assess the person through aptitude tests,
group discussions and personal interviews.
At the senior level, the selection process
consists of discussions with the human resources
head, functional experts within Essar and
sometimes the promoter-directors. |

If I do not hear back
from Essar, can I check on the status of my
application? |
|
Ans.
|
Unfortunately, due to the
volume of applications that we receive, we
will not be able to answer individual queries.
However, if you do not hear from us within
6-8 weeks of your application, please assume
that your resume was not suitable for the
current opening and that we would consider
you for future vacancies. |

|
What is your policy on
confidentiality of applications? |
|
Ans.
|
We treat all applications
as strictly confidential. We do not share
applicant profiles or information with head
hunters or with other recruiters. However,
we may share them with other Essar group companies.
We also do not check references with your
current employer at the initial stage, though
you will be asked to submit such references
before you join. |

If I join Essar, where
will I be located and can I choose my posting? |

on the business requirement and your area
of specialisation. Essar is a multi-location
business group and you should be open to both
plant and corporate exposure. Essar looks
at both availability of posts and an individual’s
location preferences before deciding on postings.

for international exposure will depend on
the requirements of the business. |
