The Employment Process

The employment process from Application to Hire......

At Crown Cork & Seal, we practice a highly interactive approach in our recruiting efforts. We truly believe that recruiting is a "two-way street" in which both you and the Company learn about each other to determine if a mutual fit exists. We want candidates to feel comfortable with the employment process and know what to expect each step of the way. In today's fast paced world, the employment process necessitates many stages. Learning about these stages in advance will help you prepare for each step so that you can relax, be yourself and shine throughout the process!

Here is what you can expect from Application to Hire at Crown Cork & Seal:

Job Application 
Review our current job opportunities. Once you locate a position that is a fit with your career interests, please take a moment to complete our online application.

Upon submittal, you will receive an e-mail verifying receipt of your application. All applications are given a thorough evaluation by our Human Resources Recruiter and the appropriate hiring manager. The candidates whose qualifications most closely match our needs are invited to participate in Interview Process

If you are not selected for the position, your resume is loaded into our Career Connection Database so it is available to a group of Crown Recruiters nationwide. Our Recruiters continually query the database for qualified candidates as new opportunities arise. Although we would prefer personal contact with each individual at this stage, the volume of applications that we receive makes this impossible. Thank you for understanding!

Interview Process 
At Crown, every position is unique so the interview process takes many different avenues.

Often the process begins with a brief phone interview conducted by either the Human Resources Representative or Hiring Manager.

The next step is your invitation to come in for a face-to-face interview. Upon arrival, you will be greeted and asked to complete our employment application and background check release form. The interview generally begins with the Human Resource Representative and proceeds to the Hiring Manager. In some cases, you'll meet with some key members of the staff.

It is common for our candidates to have multiple interviews with one or more individuals so a second or third interview may be scheduled.

Ideally, the interview process at Crown Cork & Seal will move quickly. Sometimes there are unavoidable circumstances that slow the interview process, despite genuine enthusiasm for the individuals being considered. We appreciate your patience in these situations.

Background Checking 
In order to ensure a safe working environment for all of our employees, all candidates are subject to a background check. The background check is conducted, with your consent, by a leading provider of pre-employment screening services. As an additional step in the process, pre-employment reference checks are completed by our staff.

Extension of Employment Offer 
Once a final selection has been made and the background checking is complete, you will receive a call from our Human Resources Representative inviting you to join Crown as an employee. A formal offer letter will be sent to you in the overnight mail along with detailed information on our benefits. The offer will remain contingent upon the Pre-Employment Physical and Drug-Screen.

Pre-Employment Physical and Drug Screen 
All offers of employment are contingent upon your submitting to our pre-employment physical and being declared qualified to perform the job described, with or without reasonable accommodation.

It is the responsibility and policy of the Company to provide a work environment free of Illegal drugs and alcohol. As such, the employment offer is also contingent upon your passing a pre-employment drug-screen.

Results from the Pre-Employment Physical and Drug Screen are generally available 24-48 hours after completion.

This summarizes the usual and customary employment process at Crown Cork & Seal. Once you've completed all the stages you are ready to start your new career with Crown Cork & Seal!
