Talk to a Recruiter

If your qualifications match our needs and we think you’re a good fit for the role, you’ll hear from one of our team members about setting up a phone call or video conference so we can get to know each other. This request may come in the form of a text message, phone call or an email.
Our initial conversation is a perfect chance for you to learn more details about the role and ask any questions you may have about our company. It’s also a chance for us to better understand you and your experience.
Based on the results of this conversation, your recruiter will report to the hiring manager and any key stakeholders responsible for filling the open role. If those individuals are interested in knowing more, you’ll hear back from your recruiter about scheduling an in-person interview.
Interview
Nice work! You’ve set yourself apart from many other candidates. You should be proud.
Now get ready for your on-site interview. Your recruiter will work with you to set up a time; provide detailed, next-step instructions and help you prepare for what’s next.
This is the time that we get an in-depth understanding of your accomplishments and capabilities. So be sure you’re ready to share specific examples of how you have used your skills, and what actions you’ve taken to solve problems and achieve success.
Depending on the role, you can expect to have one-on-one interviews, as well as interviews with a panel of Timken employees during your visit.
Ask questions! We believe strong relationships are built on two-way communication. That dialogue starts with our prospective employees.
Say "Yes"
Receiving an offer of employment means you’ve got what it takes to move the world forward with us. And it means we’re excited to have you become a part of our future.
When we think you’re the right one, we’ll make you an attractive offer commensurate with the role, your level of experience and the region you’ll be working in. You’ll be contacted by your recruiter to go over the compensation package and any necessary paperwork.
Welcome
