The Hiring Processat Walmart

From

Application

to

Interviewto

Orientation


8/28

Walmart has a larger, diverse field ofjob candidates to choose from. Peoplewho have never considered applyingat the retail giant are now puttingtheir applications in.

If you are one of the many peopleconsidering applying, here is asummary of what to expect. Andmaybe this will help you along andgive you a kind of "heads up".

***TIP*** WalmartONLY hires part-timehelp now. That means

32 hours a week or less.Once you are hired youcan become full-timeonce you "kind of proveyourself" as a goodemployee. Usuallysometime after your

first 90 days ofemployment.


9/28

Walmart only excepts online applications. So youcan do this at home, or you can go to a Walmartlocation and use one of their hiring kiosks. There is

usually one near Customer Service, and one near theback of the store.

The Walmart website will ask you to create anaccount with a password.

Once you are logged on, it will ask you to put in allthe necessary information you normally put in whenapplying for a job including your work history, jobsthat you are applying for and your workavailability.

***TIP*** The more jobs or

departments you are willing to work for, the better. Also the more hoursand days you are available to work the better also.


10/28

Walmart interviews three candidates forevery job and they choose the bestcandidate of those three. But here's the

kicker, three people interview you at thesame time!

Each interviewer will take turns askingyou a question. And some of the questionsare multi-part questions. Example: At

your previous job, were there any policiesyou didn't agree with? Did you take stepsto get that policy changed? What werethose steps?

After the interview they send you home

with the reassurance they will call youwithin 7 days with a decision.


11/28

When they call you back and are interested inyou, they will have you come in for a secondinterview. That means you were the best

candidate of the three they interviewed! This interview is almost exactly like the first.

Three interviewers and mostly the samequestions. If they still want you at this point, youwill fill out some paperwork for a background

check and then send you to a drug screening. After the results of the drug test and background

check (about 3 days), they'll call you fororientation.


12/28

Orientation lasts three days. (Seems likeeverything is in three's doesn't it?) Thefirst two days are paperwork, videos,

and basically learning about Walmart.Oh, and learning the Walmart cheer! Butdon't worry, there will be others inorientation with you.

The third day of orientation is spent on

the computer doing a series of modules.These are called CBL's. One is called'Alcohol Compliance' for example. Themodules teach you what you need toknow about the subject matter then gives

you a little quiz. If you don't pass youtake it again until you do. Not bad really.

After all of this they give you a work

schedule and send you on your way.

All of the Walmart employees are focused on managingcontrollable expenses.

If the company achieves its profitability the employeesto get their share in it.

In early days employees opted for profit sharing in formof company stocks.


20/28

HRs role is to focus Wal-Marts leaders

and employees on continuous learning,continuous improvement, superiorexecution, employee empowerment, andemployee ownership all designed tocreate synergistic teamwork. Wal-Mart

teams are highly productive but at thesame time the staffing levels are lean.HR insures employees are heldoperationally accountable for keeping a

balanced focus on customer service,expense control (theft prevention) andkeeping products in stock.


21/28

At some point early on in their career managers attend a week

of cultural training at The Walton Institute at the University ofArkansas. The Wal-Mart culture, carefully maintained by HR,is a diverse collection of entrepreneurial-minded people who bydesign all have a stake in the success of the company. Acting

like business owners they look for opportunities to solveproblems that help eliminate business risk.


22/28

At Wal-Mart Sam Walton expected everyone to think and act

like retail merchants. Everyone in the headquarters, nomatter what job they held or what department they workedin, was expected to focus on how to help the stores improveservice to customers. Walton pushed the decision-making

process downward, empowering local managers andassociates to make business decisions on behalf of customersas quickly as possible.


23/28

Simply having the right talent in place to

match the growth of the company may bethe biggest risk Wal-Mart faces. Wal-Mart hires aggressively from more than100 colleges and targets the colleges withRetail Institutes. People have always been

the companys greatest asset. Their self-professed talent goal at Wal-Mart is tohire the best, provide the best trainingand to be the place to work.


24/28

Sam Walton always said the biggest risk to his businesswas that his customers would stop shopping at hisstores. That fear translated into customer fanaticism isreinforced by HR to this day. Culturally, everyone isfocused on improving every aspect of customer service,

because they know the biggest risk of all may depend onit their own job.
