I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at FedEx (Olathe, KS) in Oct 2008
Interview
I was hired-on when the warehouse was first being opened to FedEx services. FedEx SmartPost hires through it's own company, but also through staffing Agencies. Hatch Staffing is the agency I was hired through.
It was one woman trying to manage hundreds of interviews. Each shift usually has 80+ people working at a time.
She asked basic questions about past jobs, how I heard about the job, why I chose the job - the usual. She was quite pleasant, and it seems as though Hatch tries to be as diversified as possible.
Before even walking out of the interview, I was told to come back in 2 days for orientation and training.
It's a pretty basic job overall.
Mostly based off work history. They seem felon friendly. I do not have a criminal history. Personality test not difficult. They responded within 4 weeks. Haven't been there physically or meant face to face.
Super easy process—mostly online application with basic questions about availability, ability to lift 50-70 lbs, and fast-paced work. No tough interview; quick hire after background check. Positive and straightforward. Definitely worth it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
“What shifts/hours are you available to work?” or “Can you work early mornings/nights/weekends?”
No interview or drug test only background. They keep you updated throughout the process. Hr contacted me after two weeks due to weather. She described details about the position as well
