Application
At the first interview, you can expect to fill out an application if you have not already done so on-line. You must complete a detailed resume, including previous employment history and references, even if your resume lists much of this information. This ensures we will always have an accurate record of your information in the event that your resume and application become separated.

A portion of the application also explains our Background Screening policy, indicating that you may be required to successfully clear a criminal background check and/or drug test prior to receiving an employment offer. Once you complete and sign the application (including the Background Screening portion), this form becomes a legal document indicating your acknowledgement of and agreement to the terms outlined within.

Company Culture & Environment
Datrose strongly values our employees, and respectful conduct is an important part of our office environment at all of our locations. Dress varies amongst the different positions at the company, and we have a policy that outlines what is appropriate and acceptable. At the first interview, however, we encourage your appearance to be neat and well-groomed, as our employees are held to professional standards.

Pre-Employment Testing
Generally at the time of the first interview, candidates are asked to participate in skills testing. Depending upon the position sought, testing may include Microsoft Office Applications, alphanumeric and numeric data entry testing, customer service scenarios, spelling, typing, filing, math, or other areas required by various opportunities. The test(s) are administered on-site at our testing computer, and relax! This is only one piece of the selection process. Many of these tests are used to identify later employment needs within the company, and your skills may be strong in areas we may later tap into!

What's Next? After the First Interview
Upon attending the first interview, you may be asked to attend a second meeting with a hiring manager or several other individuals. It is common for candidates to attend multiple interviews with at least two individuals, and this usually depends upon the position sought.

Background Checks
Datrose prides itself on maintaining a safe work environment for our employees, and value additions to our team who have successfully passed our screening process. All candidates offered a position at Datrose are subject to pre-employment reference checks, possible drug testing, and criminal background checks. In addition, some positions may require a valid driver's license.

We hope this information helps you prepare for the interview and selection process at Datrose! Feel free to contact a Datrose representative with any questions, and good luck in your job search!
