Archived Hiring event

[TheNewMonarch]

My HR said she hopes not many people come because they can't hire very many people lol!

That's what I'm worried about

 

[SFSFun]

I heard we didn't hire anyone today...

 

[pinkp2ie]

Heard everyone who walks in gets a interview, at two different stores near me. Dunno if anyone got hired

 

[AmICrazy]

In my store, we're doing the following:

• HR pre-screens JAS applicants and walk-ins
  • Location: HR area and hiring kiosk (which is where the national hire stuff is for us)
    
  • Give them the boot if they don't fit hiring needs
• After the pre-screen, deliver applicants to TLs for first interviews
  • Location: Conference room and vacant ETL Offices
• Anyone that makes it to a second interview goes to one of the ETLs in the building
  • Location: STL office or ETL's own office

As an aside, tell the applicants they aren't a good fit for the store's current needs if they aren't. Our (E)TLs have a bad habit of saying "we'll give you a call in a week," which prompts people to call us back and waste our time (and theirs).

Same here. I think we interviewed 3 or 4 people today. Have interviews for tomorrow morning, plus whatever we might have later during the hiring event.

 

[squirrely]

My store interviewed around 40 applicants.

 

[redeye58]

We had around 16.

 

[glo]

We did somewhere around 10. Mine were all decent and got offered.

 

[HRZone]

We hired a few folks. The leaders do wear down so the earlier you interview the better. We had a person knock their softlines interview out of the park then get sent to flow simply because of needs.

 

[LegendaryVKickr]

When I asked my HR TM how it was going, she wearily replied "well...it's going."

Overheard a GSTL talking about weird answers our walk in interviewees gave.

...I don't think we made many hires.

 

[Pelon1071]

I went to the event. I thought that the interview went well. I was told that I would hear back when the Electronics TL was there for a 2nd interview?

 

[cobycord]

Well, out of the 15 people in the first three hours, we hired a whopping total of two.

We hired 6 outta 35

 

[TM2]

Not sure on overall numbers, but we certainly had a lot of applicants and not a lot of offers.

 

[Wololo75]

I got hired earlier at the hiring event!

 

[MarsBars]

We only had about 15 people apply, but filled all of our positions for front end and softlies. Went pretty well i'd say.

 

[LUR99]

It went pretty well, we hired some great people.

 

[Reddington]

I believe we hired three today. We were looking for applicants who had the eye of the tiger, and instead we got job seekers with the dull stare of a dairy cow.

 

[h8guests]

Well, out of the 15 people in the first three hours, we hired a whopping total of two.

I think we had 15 people before the event started at noon!!!

Our store was beyond busy!! I think we did close to 100 interviews?

 

[Kaitii]

I was off so I didn't see how it went

I'm just praying we got some cute girls

 

[qmosqueen]

Sucks Friday 2 people showed up. No one in their right mind shows up on a Saturday to be hired They show up on a Monday withis their resume in hand.

Beware of that we hired one who was a total airhead. They arent so cute when they dont get their work done and you have to clean up afrer them

 

[NKG]

I know its seasonal hire but I saw several people in jeans and t shirts for interviews the last couple of weeks. I still think if your serious about the job then at least ditch the t-shirt.

Same! When we schedule people for interviews and they come in that I think its bad. In peoples defense there were people at our hiring event who came to shop and left with a job.

As long as they're not in electronics I don't pick up after anyone

I tend to look at cashiers the most tho for some reason

 

[LUR99]

Today was a total waste of time. We had 10 interviews but they all sucked.

All I can say is damn....
