How do I apply for employment at Allison transmission in Indianapolis ind?

Answer 1

ha... good luck. It's not easy

The way it works is that if management decides they would like to hire new employees (which isn't often, but they are and will be hiring more and more as the older employees start retiring), they allow current employees to submit ONE referral for someone they know- usually a close friend or relative (obviously). The names are then put into a pool and could sit there for 2 weeks or 2 years. They will eventually call you in to participate in the selection process that follows (you have to pass each one to move to the next step):

1 Fill out an application/personality test

2 Complete a 3 hour test on a computer

3 Complete a 4 hour production simulation exercise

4 Interview

5 Complete an extensive physical and hair follicle drug screen

6 Wait

7 Wait some more

9 Report to orientation

The big key here is knowing someone that works there that is willing to submit your name on their behalf. The bigger key is if and when management is going to start taking referrals. I believe they will eventually start going through the Workforce One office, but better get your name down quick because like everything at Allison's, its based on seniority.
