Q: What is the typical process like for someone to get hired by Silver Star Brands?
Each position is a little different. Candidates will need to interview with Human Resources either via the telephone or in person. The hiring leader typically will do a second interview; sometimes they will ask others on their team to be involved in that second interview.
At Silver Star Brands we believe that finding the right candidate for the position requires a team effort and input from more than one person. Some positions require testing candidates on ten-key and data-entry, and some positions require candidates to complete a profile assessment.
During the interview process, you have an opportunity to determine whether Silver Star Brands is a right fit for you by asking us.

While each position is slightly different, you will receive training to be successful at your job!
