THE HIRING PROCESS

Submitting Your Resume

If after reviewing the opportunities currently available at Valley Freightliner, Inc.'s Current Openings page, you feel you would make a good candidate for one of the positions, please submit your resume and cover letter by fax (253-891-6703) or email to Monica Freelund (MFreelund@ValleyFtl.com).

Pre-Screen Stage

Once you have submitted your resume, it will be reviewed by one of our recruiters. This process may take up to two weeks. If you have been selected to continue you will be contacted by phone to set up an initial interview; also referred to as a pre-screen interview. During this time, you will be introduced to the hiring process at Valley Freightliner, Inc. Expect to spend approximately 15 minutes answering a series of questions about yourself and your experiences. During this time you will also have an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about Valley Freightliner, Inc. and the available position. Once the initial screening is complete, you will be contacted either way within the next one to two weeks.

Structured Interview Stage

Following a successful initial interview, an appointment may be made for a structured interview. Rather than a panel interview where the candidate may feel overwhelmed, our process is to have a few managers and a member of our executive team interview candidates one-on-one. Expect this portion of the interview to last three to four hours. This interview is more in-depth as we try to learn more about you and your potential as a successful employee at Valley Freightliner, Inc. Some of the questions you may encounter will ask you to cite specific examples from your experiences at your previous employer, from school or from life in general.

Following the structured interview, the managers involved in the hiring process will meet and make a decision as to your career potential with Valley Freightliner, Inc. If you are a successful candidate, an offer will then be made within the next two weeks. All offers are made contingent upon passing a drug screen and a criminal background check.
