Upon identifying the requirements of the position, Human Resources will review your responses to the experience questions and your location preference. Should you indicate you have the experience factors the hiring manager is looking for and the position’s location is within your preference, Human Resources will contact you to:

Please note: You may be asked to complete an online interview before you’ve been matched to a position.

► Step 4: Additional Assessment

Depending on the position being staffed, the hiring manager may establish additional criteria that are essential qualifications which candidates must meet. These criteria may include additional abilities and/or knowledge factors for their vacancy. Therefore, in addition to reference checks, a knowledge test or additional interview may be required.
