What to expect when applying for a warehouse role

Step 1: Search and apply for a job.

• Find open roles in your area and apply for one you’re interested in.
• Once your resumé is reviewed by our recruiting team and you are identified as a possible fit for the role, our team will reach out to schedule a phone interview.

Step 2: Complete the phone interview.

• Be prepared to talk through your resumé and technical skills during your phone screen.
• After the phone interview is conducted and if you are found successful, the recruiting team will work to schedule an interview for you with the hiring leader.

Step 3: Interview with the hiring leader (if applying for a leadership role).

• Make sure you are prepared for your on-site interview by:
• Researching Schneider ahead of time to find out who we are.
• Preparing questions you want to ask the interviews, such as:
• What does training look like?
• What is the culture/team like in the shop?
• What are the metrics I will be accountable for?
• What are the warehouse goals for the year?
• Bringing your resumé with you.
• Being prepared to answer behavior-based interview questions, such as:
• Can you provide a specific example of a time you had to learn a new skill for a job? What approach did you take to be successful?
• Can you tell me about a time when you went above and beyond what was expected of you?
• What key metrics have you been responsible for in your current role or in a previous one? How did your results compare to the initial goal?

Step 4: Begin a dynamic warehouse career at Schneider.

• If you are found successful after the interview, a verbal and written offer will be extended.
• A drug test and background check will be completed.
