Sophisticated Systems follows
a specific policy and procedure for its application, interview,
and hiring process. Who is a Sophisticated Systems applicant?
A candidate is considered an applicant when Sophisticated Systems has received
a resume and a completed employee application from the candidate.
A valid candidate will
be determined by one of the following:
- A resume sent in response to any posted ad (newspaper, trade journal,
internet posting, etc.) that meets the minimum required qualifications
(education level, years of professional experience, skills, etc.).
- All employee referrals.
- Resumes received at job fairs and campus recruiting will only be considered
"valid" if they meet the minimum required qualifications, as stated,
for the job fair or campus recruiting.
- Walk-ins, cold-call candidates, candidates located through searching
the internet, or any other unsolicited candidates/resumes, will not
be considered applicants unless the candidate's qualifications match
a current open position and an employee application is sent to the candidate
and the employee application is completed and returned with a current
resume.
Interviewing/Hiring Procedure for Consultants
After completing an employee application, the applicant will be interviewed
(telephone and/or personal) by a Sophisticated Systems Recruiter. Having
completed the interview
and determining mutual continued interest and a potential open position,
the applicant will have a second (usually personal) interview with a Service
Delivery Manager, Account Executive, and/or other Manager. For technical
positions, the applicant should expect a technical interview as well. | This
may be done by Sophisticated Systems personnel or will be conducted by
a
Sophisticated Systems consultant. Any test administered or technical interview
performed will be used to identify an applicant's strengths and weaknesses
and will not
be used solely to disqualify the candidate.
After Sophisticated Systems determines that the applicant is qualified for a current customer
requirement, Sophisticated Systems may submit the applicant to our customer(s) for appropriate
consulting positions. Customer interviews (telephone and/or personal) may
be required as determined by the customer and Sophisticated Systems. We may not extend an offer
of employment to the applicant until the customer has accepted the applicant
for an assignment with the customer.
When an offer of employment is extended, Sophisticated Systems will provide the applicant
with the necessary forms and locations for completing a drug-screening test.
This must be completed within forty-eight (48) hours of receiving these
forms. Three professional references (provided on the employee application)
may be contacted. The applicant will receive a written offer letter, which
the applicant must sign and return.
Conditions of employment:
- Fully completed and signed employee application and related forms.
- Confirmed start date.
- Successfully completed drug-screen.
- Successfully completed background-check.
- Three favorable professional references.
Resumes of applicants not hired will be kept on file for up to one year.
Sophisticated Systems is an equal opportunity employer. In order to provide equal employment
and advancement opportunities to all individuals, employment decisions at
Sophisticated Systems will be based on merit, qualifications, and abilities. Sophisticated Systems does not
discriminate in employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race,
color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or any other characteristic
protected by law. This policy governs all aspects of employment, including
selection, job assignment, compensation, discipline, termination, and access
to benefits and training. |
