TotalEnergies recruitment process in 2024

1. Online application form

2. Online tests

   • The next stage of the TotalEnergies recruitment process is an online assessment. The candidate will be sent an email invitation to complete TotalEnergies tests.

   • TotalEnergies uses different types of recruitment tests to assess candidates and their suitability for the position they are applying for.

   • Candidates are most often asked to complete the following tests:

   • Numerical reasoning tests are standardised psychometric assessment tools that help TotalEnergies determine a candidate's ability to work with numbers and graphs, make good decisions and draw conclusions based on numerical or statistical data. The tests simulate the work environment and goals of a prospective employee. Try our Free sample Numerical reasoning test.

   • Verbal reasoning tests allow TotalEnergies to determine a candidate's ability to perceive and analyse verbal information and to draw conclusions. Free sample Verbal tests are available to practice here and here.

   • Logical (inc. Diagrammatic and Inductive ) reasoning tests are designed to assess the candidate's ability to work with abstract information. TotalEnergies Logical assessment may consist of special diagrams, geometric shapes and other lined-up images, where a candidate has to continue the row in a logically correct way. Here you can practice a Free sample Logical test, a Free sample Diagrammatic test, and a Free sample Inductive test.

   • Situational judgement tests consist of short simulated scenarios that define a working style and assess specific tasks in a working environment. TotalEnergies Situational tests are used to assess applicants' competencies, communication skills, motivation, and preferred styles of problem-solving.
