You can complete the application here – https://bit.ly/WWURStech The application is mobile friendly and typically takes about 10-20 minutes to complete
We look forward to the opportunity to chat with you prior to scheduling an interview with one of our shop managers. A recruiter will discuss shop details and answer any questions you may have to prepare you for your interview.
The Shop Manager will meet with the applicant in person. These interviews are to gain knowledge on the applicant's skill level, what type of jobs they have completed in the past, and the experience they may have. The shop manager will also show the applicant around the shop and yard to show them what type of equipment and the work environment.
When we receive your full application, we will process your background check and applicable reports. To give you a peace of mind, we will never run a verification of employment for your current employer until you’ve been hired with us. We can typically qualify candidates almost immediately while on the phone; however, we do have occasions were reports are delayed and the next step may be delayed for a few hours, at most. Ideally, we can get you qualified and scheduled for an interview within the same day. Interview scheduling is based upon your availability and the shop managers. If the shop manager wishes to proceed, you will receive an offer letter from us extending an offer of employment. We will schedule your drug screen and start date! We welcome any notices or prior engagements you need to tend to, so we will schedule everything based upon the timeline you provide.
Recruiting does not send any skill assessment’s prior to hiring
After an in person interview, the recruiter will follow up with the shop manager. We will typically have an answer as to whether we will/will not move forward with a candidate within 24 hours.
The length of the full hiring process is essentially in your hands. Once you’ve completed the full application, we can have you qualified and an interview scheduled within that day. The interview is scheduled at the availability of the shop manager and yourself – so that time frame may vary – but the majority of the time, the shop manager will meet with you within a day or two to conduct the interview. An ideal time frame for start to finish would be roughly a week (application, reports, interview, drug screen, no notice needed for employer so we hire you on once results have been posted)
Our hiring process is fast and easy – our recruiters are here to assist you at any time and are willing to answer any questions you may have!
