If you are thinking about applying for employment at SRC, this page will answer many of your questions about the process. 

Application
If you want to submit a resume to SRC, it must be for a specific open position, and you must meet the minimum requirements for that position. 

Timeline
From application to hiring decision, our employment process can take from three weeks to several  months. Because the timing can be unpredictable, you should let your HR Recruiter know about any factors affecting your availability. If you have questions prior to being contacted by HR, you can contact us at jobs@scires.com. Candidates who get to the interview stage will be notified if the position is filled by another applicant.

Preliminary Screening
A designated recruiter reviews the qualifications of all candidates seeking consideration for a position and forwards the resumes of the most appropriately qualified candidates to the hiring manager. The hiring manager selects the candidates to be interviewed.

Phone Screening
To help align your interests with our opportunities, an SRC representative may call you to ask for additional information, such as depth of technical/professional knowledge, availability for interviews, interest in relocation, salary expectations, career goals, etc.

Scheduling an Interview
When a hiring manager asks to meet you, an HR representative will call to arrange a time for you to visit our offices. If you live far from our facilities, we will make travel arrangements for you. If there's time before your visit, we will send you an information packet, which will include detailed directions and an official employment application to complete and bring with you.

Interview
When you arrive for your interview, an HR representative will greet you, discuss your application, explain the schedule for your visit, and answer any questions. Different departments have different practices, but you can expect to have two to four individual meetings with department representatives. You will have the chance to share your detailed qualifications and learn more about SRC and our work. In some cases, you may be asked in advance to prepare and deliver a brief presentation. Sometimes we need to ask a candidate back for additional interviews before making a final decision. 

Background Checks
If we're considering you for a job offer, we will conduct a background check that covers your employment history, references, educational qualifications, etc. Many of our positions require Department of Defense security clearance.

Offer
If you're selected for the position and the background check is satisfactory, an HR representative will convey a formal offer. The offer package will include starting salary and a summary of benefits. Normally we would expect your decision within one week. 

Hiring & Orientation
After you accept the offer, we will discuss and determine your start date. New employees generally start on Mondays, and we hold orientation sessions every Monday.
