If they feel you are well suited for the position you will move through to a phone interview as the first stage. if you don't proceed further at this point, that is ok, we will have your details on file should something else arise. On this note, we suggest making a note to get job alert emails sent through to you to stay abreast of opportunities as they come up.

Phone Interview

The TA Partners will then present a shortlist of candidates to the Hiring Manager, who will then select who they would like to interview.

For our Store positions - you will speak with the store management hiring team for around 10-15min answering questions about your experience, availability on shifts and some of the details required for the position. From here, if all align, you will be invited in for a face to face interview.

In-person Interview

For our Support Office positions - You will meet with the Hiring Manager and any other important stakeholders where you will be asked a series of technical and behavioural questions to assess your suitability for the position. If successful, you will be asked back for a second interview and at times there may be a third interview required which may be more of a meet and greet with the team.

For our Store positions - you will meet with the hiring manager(s) for an interview individually or even through an assessment centre process.
