Our Hiring Process
- Stage 1
Applied
Congratulations! You took the first step forward in obtaining a great opportunity with an amazing organization. You can create your profile when you first visit the site or when you apply for a specific position. Your profile lets you check the status of your applications. Scroll down to the submitted applications to review your submission status.
- Stage 2
Review
Hiring isn’t an automated process. When you apply for a job, a recruiter with the Talent Acquisition team will review every application and resume of every applicant, which can be a tedious process. This is typically called a Review stage. It is neither a good nor a bad sign for getting a job. This term only means that someone will shortly be looking over your job application materials to determine whether to schedule an interview with you or not.
- Stage 3
Initial Interview
A phone screen is typically the first step in the hiring process. During a phone screen, an employer conducts a brief job interview with a candidate to decide whether they are a qualified applicant for a position. A recruiter, talent acquisition specialist, or hiring manager can conduct a phone screen. These screenings consist of short phone calls, typically lasting about 15 minutes and no more than 30 - 45 minutes. During this time, the person conducting the screening may review your history of employment, experience, and educational background, as well as confirm certain details.
They may also ask about your salary requirements when you can start work, what skills you have that would fulfill the job requirements, and any other logistical questions pertinent to the position.
- Stage 4
Hiring Manager Interview
A successful interview with a hiring manager can move you closer to getting hired for the job. It is your chance to provide more details about your qualifications outside of your resume and prove you are the best candidate. This interview also helps you determine whether the employer is a good fit. Both you and the hiring manager have the opportunity to ask questions aimed at evaluating that. You will receive clarity beyond the job description, allowing you to see whether the company culture and environment are what you're seeking.
- Stage 5
Site or Virtual Tour
Your interview will consist of an informal chat with our hiring team. We'll review your application and get to know you a little better while providing you an opportunity to meet face-to-face with managers and employees to gain personal insights about the corporate culture. Please aim to arrive five minutes prior to your scheduled interview time.

Formal Offer
Congratulations you were extended an offer of employment from Alcanza!
Your job offer is an invitation to work in a specific position for an employer. Job offers typically contain the details of the employment offer, including salary, benefits, job responsibilities, and the reporting manager's name and title. The offer letter may also cover the expected work hours, the desired start date, and additional details that are important for the prospective employee to know.
Employees can respond by accepting the offer, declining the offer, or negotiating the terms of the offer prior to its expiry date.

Background Check
A background check is a review of a person's commercial, criminal, and (occasionally) financial records. Typically, an employer will contract with an outside vendor who specializes in background checks. The background check company will review your records to determine if you are who you say you are and whether there are any red flags in your personal or professional history.
Depending on restrictions imposed by state law, these records might include your criminal history, employment record, education, credit history, driving record, and online social media use.
Many employers conduct background and reference checks during the hiring process before offering a candidate the job. However, in some cases, a job offer may be contingent upon the results of the background check. That means the offer could be withdrawn if the organization finds negative information.
