Q: Can you provide an overview of your hiring process?
A: Sure! While some specifics may vary by location or position, here is the general path you will follow when searching for a career at CPP:
- After you have applied for a position with CPP, a hiring manager and/or recruiter will review your profile and résumé.
- If your skills and experience appear to match an open position, a recruiter will contact you to discuss your background and the position, and advise you about what to expect in the interview process.
- Your first interview will likely be a phone conversation with the recruiter who is working to fill the opening. If a potential match is identified, you will be invited to an in-person job interview.
- At the job interview, you will most likely meet with several interviewers. Before you leave, it's a good idea to inquire about next steps and whether there is a time frame for making a decision.
- Due to the high volume of résumés we receive, we cannot contact everyone who submits their résumé for consideration. If you are not selected, your résumé will remain in our database.
