AFTER YOU HAVE APPLIED

How will I know that my application has been submitted for the position(s)?

You will receive an immediate email response from McCann Worldgroup acknowledging receipt of your application as soon as you submit one.

How long does it take to fill a position?

The time to fill a position varies depending on a number of factors including the type of position, the number of candidates, the hiring manager's schedule and so on. While we make every effort to complete the recruitment process as fast as possible, it usually takes up to two weeks (after the closing date) to review all applications. It may take several weeks to several months (for very specialist roles) to fill a position.

How will I know if I am being considered for the job?

If you are a candidate under consideration, a recruiter will contact you. We are unable to accept phone calls to check the status of a resume submission.

How do I know if a position is still open?

If you have not received an e-mail indicating that the position has been filled, you can log into the career portal and view the status of any job for which you have submitted an application to through your Profile.

Should I submit a paper resume as well?

No - our recruitment process is paperless; we no longer accept paper resumes. All applications must therefore be made through our online system.

What does the word ‘HOLD’ mean when posted next to a position?

A position could be put on hold for a variety of reasons. It means that at this time, the recruiter is no longer actively seeking candidates. The department could be in the final stages of selecting a candidate or the department may no longer need the position at this time.
