Your Resume Submission

Submission

Once you find a position on our career site that you feel would be a good fit for your skills and interests, you will need to apply.

Depending on how many applicants we receive for a role, it may take several weeks for our teams to review resumes. In general, we do our best to respond within two weeks of your application.

On occasion, our response emails can be caught in spam filters. Please be sure to check your spam folder periodically to be sure you have not missed an email.

Onsite Interview

A member of our recruiting team and the hiring manager will review your resume, the notes from the phone screen, and your assessment results to decide on the next steps. You should also decide during this time whether this role is the right career move for you

If our hiring team has decided they’d like to move forward, and you feel the same way, you will be contacted to schedule an on-site interview. This will require traveling to our Moonachie, N.J., office and meeting with multiple people. It may also include video interviews with our team members located remotely.

Depending on the number of people you will be interviewing with, their schedules/locations, and your schedule, this process may take up to a week to organize. 

Determination

Following your onsite interview, our team will have a debrief conversation to make a final decision. Your recruiter will be in contact with you to notify you of the team’s decision.

Please note that we strive to have decisions made within a few days of interviews, but there are times it may take longer depending on the number of candidates interviewing and the availability of the hiring team. Should you have any questions during this time, please contact your recruiter.

Verbal Offer

If you are selected for the position, a member of our hiring team will contact you via phone to present you with a verbal offer. We understand that you may need time to consider the offer, and if that is the case we will set up a follow-up call with you for a few days later.

Formal Offer Letter

Upon acceptance of the verbal offer, your recruiter will work with you to determine your start date with Sterling Medical Devices. A request will be sent to our General Counsel for your offer letter to be drawn up and sent via AdobeSign. This process may take a few days.
