Here is a strategic set of screening questions to help you quickly determine if a candidate is a strong fit for this specific role.

📍 Logistics & Availability

Location & Relocation: "This role is based on-site in a mountainous region of Central Greece (about 30–60 minutes from the coast). The company offers relocation assistance. Are you currently based in this area, or would you be open to relocating for this opportunity?"
Notice Period: "What is your current notice period, or how soon would you be available to start a new role?"
Shift Work: "The facility operates on a production schedule that requires working in shifts and occasionally responding to urgent maintenance calls. Are you comfortable and able to accommodate this type of schedule?"

⚙️ Machinery & Industry Experience (The "Sidel" Factor)

Target Machinery: "Do you have direct maintenance or operational experience with Sidel or Krones packaging machinery?"
Transferable Skills (If no to the above): "Can you walk me through your experience working with high-speed packaging machinery in the FMCG sector? Specifically, what is your comfort level troubleshooting and maintaining blowers, fillers, and conveyor systems?"
Industry Background: "Have you previously worked in the food, beverage, or bottling industry? If so, what were the strict safety or hygiene standards you had to follow (e.g., lockout/tagout)?"

⚡ Technical & Electrical Competency

Core Electrical Troubleshooting: "Can you give me a recent example of a complex electrical fault you diagnosed and repaired on a production line? How did you approach troubleshooting the PLCs, motors, or control panels?"
Preventive vs. Corrective: "What percentage of your current role is focused on preventive maintenance versus reactive/corrective repairs? What maintenance management systems have you used to log your work?"

Tip for your recruiters: If a candidate answers "no" to having direct Sidel experience but can confidently answer the "Transferable Skills" question regarding blowers and fillers in an FMCG environment, they should still be pushed forward to the client!
