Hiring Process

Submitting Your Resume

If after reviewing the opportunities currently available on our Current Openings page, you feel you would make a good candidate for one of the positions, please submit your resume and cover letter online by choosing the Submit Resume option at the bottom of the job description page.

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 Gordon Trucking. Expect to spend approximately 30 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 Gordon Trucking Inc. and the available position. Once the initial screening is complete, you will be contacted either way within the next one to two weeks.

Submitting Online Application

This stage in the hiring process is only after you have submitted your resume and cover letter and have completed the initial pre-screen interview. If you are contacted to continue in the interview process past the pre-screen stage, you will be required to fill out an application online. All of the information that you need to login will be sent to you via e-mail.

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 Gordon Trucking 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 Gordon Trucking, 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.
