Hiring Process

The Assessment Center is an interviewing and selection process that includes a written test, spelling test, medical practical, trauma practical, medical interview, general interview, Career Profile and Physical Agility Test.
2. For applicants that satisfactorily complete the Assessment Center we then conduct a criminal background investigation and DMV check. It may take up to two weeks for us to receive the results from these investigations.
3. If we receive satisfactory results from the above, we then make a conditional offer of employment. The offer is contingent upon the applicant passing a pre-placement health screening which consists of a drug test, hearing/vision test, TB test and Hepatitis B series.
