Recruiting Process
The recruiting process and FAQ explains timeline and what to expect when applying for a job.
STEP 1:
Job Search & Application Process
Use the job search page to view openings and apply. Once your application is submitted, you will receive an email letting you know you are all set. Please pay close attention to your email inbox as this is how we will communicate with you. If for any reason your application is “incomplete,” meaning additional information is requested, you will be notified by email. To check the status of your application, edit details provided or submit additional information, simply log back into your account.
STEP 2:
Application Screening
HR staff will review your online application and determine if you meet the required skills, experience and education. Applicants that best match the job requirements will be contacted to continue the selection process. Applicants who are not considered will be notified by email at time of posting's closing.
STEP 3:
Interview Process
If you meet the required qualifications, you will be contacted to schedule an interview. Depending on the position, the process may include a phone screening, first round interview and second round interview.
STEP 4:
Offer & Onboarding
If you are selected for a job, HR will prepare and provide an offer of employment by telephone, email, or in-person. If you are provided an electronic offer letter, you will receive an email with instructions to view, accept and sign the offer via email. Once you've accepted a job offer, HR will reach out with additional details about the steps you will need to successfully complete in order to start work.
Offers given for every position are conditional, meaning you must be able to pass a drug screen, background check and, in some cases, DOT check before your offer of employment is final. Once your start date is determined, you will schedule a time to meet with HR to complete necessary new-hire paperwork, training and onboarding.
Job Search FAQs
- Have a complete application! The screening process can become very difficult if your application and resume do not provide relevant data. The most important thing you can do to make yourself standout is to have a complete application. Make sure that the information you provide is clear and consistent, your dates are correct, and your resume and application are up-to-date.
- Pay close attention to the minimum requirements of the position. Your resume and application materials should reinforce how you either meet those requirements or the steps you are taking to meet those requirements.
- If you are invited for an interview, make sure that you are prepared to answer questions and provide honest information about yourself and your experience. If you have applied and/or were interviewed previously, be sure to include/discuss your recent accomplishments or experience as they pertain to the job. We look for stability in employment, progression or growth in your desired career, and initiative in getting the required licenses/certifications for the desired role.
