After sending your resume and cover letter into careers@chz.com or resume, cover  letter, and demo reel (if required) to hr@chch.com,  the Hiring team will review them to determine if your skills, competence, efficiency, training and experience align with the role.

Initial Screening

When the resume and cover letter and/ or demo reel matches the skills, competence, efficiency, training and experience, you may be invited to a telephone pre-screening interview. 

The telephone pre-screening interview is a short 15-30 minute interview. This  pre-screening interview helps us learn even more about your skills, competence, efficiency, training and experience. All candidates will be asked the same set of questions. This is done to help avoid unconscious bias. 

Accessibility/Accommodation

You will be asked about any accommodation needs to participate equally in our hiring process.

Panel Interviews

Panel interviews with two or more members of the hiring team are typical, potentially including the manager, supervisor, HR representative, or other decision-makers. Larger panels may be warranted giving consideration to an appropriate maximum to avoid intimidation of candidates.

Panel interviews can be 45-120 minutes long, virtually or in-person, and you may have 1-2 panel interviews. A second interview might be necessary depending on the position. If a second interview is required, you will be notified in advance if known, or after the first stage interview.

Due Diligence

References

Additional Verifications

Some roles may require additional verifications such as professional designations, and/or trade certifications.

Job Offer

If you are the successful candidate, the hiring manager will contact you with a job offer detailing the role, hourly or salary, start date, and other conditions. Human Resources will then contact you with a written offer of employment. Candidates who have been interviewed but are not successful to a position (or who will not be moving forward to a second interview) will be made aware of their status within the hiring process.
