Mondelēz's early-careers hiring in the UK and other markets follows a fairly standard FMCG graduate-scheme funnel: an online application, a gamified/psychometric online assessment (the 'Spotlight' or SHL-style test), a one-way recorded video interview built around competency and 'why Mondelēz / why this role' questions, and finally an in-person assessment centre with a group exercise, role-play, presentation and a one-to-one competency interview. Timelines are slow and rejections often arrive months after the video interview. Manufacturing/supply-chain hiring in the Philippines (the 'Taste the Future' management trainee track) mirrors the same skeleton but candidates commonly report long silence after the final interview.
