Hiring Process to join SRAA Team
Before you apply – please have your work history and educational background information ready, and a resume if required.
Steps to apply – apply online and make sure you fill out all your contact information, work history, education history, and references. Upload resume if required. Cover letters are welcome but usually not required unless noted.
After you apply – Applicants will receive an automatic email indicating the SRAA received your application. However, due to the high level of applications the SRAA receives, only those applicants who are being considered for an interview will be contacted directly by Human Resources. The SRAA HR team does its best to send a follow up email to all applicants once a position has been filled or if a decision was made not to fill the position at that time, however, due to the length of the hiring and background check process, it may take 1-2 months before applicants receive an email that a job has been closed.
