CHS Interview Guide
Everything we know about interviewing at CHS: the process stage by stage, what each round tests, and compensation by level.
Interviewing at CHS
What the process looks like, and what CHS is really testing for.
CHS interviews are role-aligned but the center of gravity is consistent: you will be assessed on business analysis, SQL, data analysis, data engineering, system design, and structured communication. Across reports, the loop also includes behavioral evaluation, including communication and leadership style, plus problem solving through case-based work in at least some roles.
The topics data shows what you should prepare for, regardless of whether you are interviewing for a data engineer, software engineer, analyst, or product or project leadership. Business Analysis, SQL, Data Engineering, and System Design are at the top of the topic distribution (each at or near the highest percentiles in the dataset), and Analytical Expertise and Data Analysis are also highly prominent.
The process you should expect from reported steps is: application and/or phone screening, then technical and behavioral rounds, and in some cases case studies or case presentations, followed by final panel or concluding interviews and then offer discussion. The reported data includes no offers (offer rate 0.0%), so do not expect the reports to describe typical post-interview timelines or outcomes beyond an offer discussion step being part of the stated process.
In the topic mix, Business Analysis, SQL, Data Engineering, and System Design are the most consistently prominent areas, so even for roles that sound less technical, you should expect technical evaluation tied to analytical and data work rather than only generic fit.

Application review
Not specified in the reportsYou will be reviewed after submitting your application to assess basic qualifications and fit. Prepare to have your experience map to the role requirements closely, since this step is explicitly described as qualification and fit screening.
Screening call (phone screen) and/or initial screening
Not specified in the reportsYou may go through initial screening by talent acquisition and a recruiter or hiring manager phone screen to verify experience and cultural fit. Expect this to focus on basic fit before technical and behavioral evaluation starts.
Technical interview
Not specified in the reportsYou will complete a technical interview that evaluates your technical abilities, with systems engineering skills and knowledge explicitly mentioned for at least one step description. Prepare for highly prominent technical topics including SQL, data engineering, data analysis, business analysis, and system design.
Behavioral interviews and/or behavioral assessment
Not specified in the reportsYou will participate in behavioral interviews to evaluate interpersonal skills and leadership capabilities. Some descriptions also indicate behavioral evaluation by regional leadership and behavioral assessments focused on leadership style and team dynamics.
Case studies and case presentations (if applicable)

Not specified in the reportsFinal steps in the reported process can include a final panel interview and concluding interviews, plus an offer discussion about role specifics and compensation.
