process and answer questions about it.
HOW ARE OPEN CAREER OPPORTUNITIES FILLED
AT MPI RESEARCH?
- Opportunities are posted
All currently-open career opportunities
are posted on MPI Research’s company
website at www.mpiresearch.com.
- Candidate submits a resume
Interested candidates apply on the www.mpiresearch.com website for all open positions in which
they are interested and qualified for.
There are also application questions that
should be completed in their entirety.
It is strongly recommended that candidates
upload a resume in a Word file in order
for the resume to be searched by keyword.
- Resumes are sent
to MPI Research’s
candidate database
Applicant resumes will be available for
hiring managers to review based on the
positions that are applied for. Hiring
managers will only have access to a resume
if a candidate applied specifically for
their position.
- Resume is reviewed
Hiring managers review the database and
compare the submitted resumes against
the required qualifications for the position.
If a hiring manager expresses interest
in an application, a recruiting specialist
will be in contact with the candidate
directly.
- Predictive Index surveys are sent
An MPI Research recruiting specialist will
administer a Predictive Index survey to
all qualified applicants identified by
the hiring managers. Once the survey is
completed by the applicant, the results
are reviewed by qualified analysts.
- Candidates are phone-screened
If the results of the PI survey match the
Predictive Index job model, a phone screen
is conducted to convey more-specific information
about the company and about the position,
including work environment, pay range,
benefits, hours, etc. Candidates who do
not fall within the PI range of the job
model are forwarded to the hiring manager.
It is the hiring manager’s decision
to determine whether to proceed with the
application/phone screen. Candidates will
ONLY be contacted if there is interest
from the hiring manager.
- On-site interviews are scheduled
When an on-site interview is scheduled,
candidates will come to the appropriate
campus (Mattawan, MI or State College,
PA) and spend time completing paperwork
(application, background check consent
form, etc.) and speaking with the hiring
managers. Discussion will cover the candidate’s
qualifications, specific job duties,
etc.
- Candidate selection is made
Hiring managers and interview team identify
their desired candidate and notify Human
Resources.
- Offer of employment is extended
A recruiting specialist will contact the
candidate with a verbal offer of employment
and await the candidate’s decision.
- Pre-employment activities are completed
A recruiting specialist will conduct a
background check of the new hire, schedule
a physical examination, generate a formal
offer letter, send additional paperwork
to the new hire, etc.
FAQ
Q: Do I have to apply on-line or
can I send in a hard copy of my resume?
A: Applying on-line is preferable;
it is the fastest way to submit yourself
for consideration. In addition, you have
the opportunity online to upload a resume in
a Word application, which allows the Hiring
Managers to more easily search your submitted
resume.
Q: May I apply for more
than one position within the same department
(i.e. Finance Associate 1 – Billing;
Finance Associate 1 – Payroll)?
A: Certainly. Again, you
may apply for any position that interests
you and that you are qualified for.
Q:
How do I know my resume is in the system
and/or confirmation that I applied to the
correct position?
A: Once you’ve completed
a profile and/or submitted a resume via our
on-line system, you will receive an automatically
generated response email letting you know
that your information has been received.
At that time, your resume will be viewable
by the hiring managers for the position(s)
for which you have applied. The email will
contain your username and password; this
will allow you to track all of the positions
and the date on which you applied.
Q: How long before I get contacted
by someone after I apply?
A: Unfortunately, there
is not a set time frame for a response. As
mentioned above, after you submit your resume,
the hiring managers have the ability to review
your submittal. If the hiring manager is
interested in learning more about your background,
they will contact a recruiting specialist,
who will then contact you directly.
Q:
How long after an interview does it usually
take for Hiring Managers to make a decision?
A: That is based on several
factors…urgency
of the position, number of applicants, number
of interviews, etc. We try and let people
know one way or another as quickly as possible.
If you interviewed for an
opening but do not receive an offer, you
will receive a letter of declination.
Q:
I applied for a position several weeks ago
but haven’t
heard anything. Now what?
A: As stated above, you will only be contacted
if the hiring managers show interest in your
resume. There is no need to call in and ask
about your status. Your resume will remain
in our database for six months for future
consideration.
Q: I applied for a position not long ago,
but now it has disappeared from your website.
What happened?
A: Several possibilities…the
position was filled by another candidate,
it was put on hold, rescinded, etc.
Q: If I applied for a position that was
later filled, but then it is re-opened again,
may I re-apply (or be reconsidered) or is
my initial application still valid?
A: Your application will be active for 6
months for every position for which it was
submitted.
Q: If I’m not
considered for one particular opening,
can I apply for another?
A: Certainly. You are
encouraged to apply for any and all positions
that you are interested in and qualified
for, as hiring managers only have access
to resumes specifically
submitted to their department's open
positions.
Q: Whom do I contact for technical help
about submitting a resume or applying for
a position?
A: Go to: http://www.mpiresearch.com/contact.asp and
fill out the form using "careers" as
the subject line.
