Hiring: this is how it works
Gene Juarez Hiring Process
Step one: Review and select an available position. Complete the online employment questionnaire and attach your resume as a Word, PDF or Text document if requested. (We prefer candidates to attach their resumes, however, if you would like to talk with someone from recruiting before starting the process, please feel free to call our Recruiting Department at 425.748.1430.)
Step two: After you have completed the online questionnaire and attached your resume, an automatic email response will be sent to your email address to let you know that we have received your employment questionnaire.
Step three: Our hiring managers review job applications and resumes on a daily basis. As a general rule, employment questionnaires are reviewed within 3-5 days and applicants who qualify for the open positions are contacted within a week for a phone interview by one of our recruiters.
Step four: Generally 5-7 days after a phone interview, a face-to-face interview will be scheduled for those candidates whose qualifications fit the needs of each job position. You will be sent an application to complete before your interview. Bring the completed, signed application with you to your face-to-face interview.
Step five: Before making an offer, Gene Juarez Salons & Spas will conduct an extensive background investigation that includes a criminal background check and in most cases, a credit check.
Step six: Depending on the position you are applying for, you may be asked to complete a profile test, which will provide us with additional information on your availability, skills, and experience.
Step seven: If you are identified as the best fit for the position, a hiring manager or one of our recruiters will invite you either to join our Advanced Training program, or to become an employee of the Gene Juarez team depending on the type of position.
