Job Details
Deadline to submit your candidate is Friday, 9/26
PLEASE READ: SCC HBE team works 2 days onsite in the BOA building, which is located at 1111 E Main St, Richmond, VA. Paarking is NOT provided for contractors.
INTERVIEWS: If selected, the initial interview will be via TEAMS and then a second follow up panel interview will follow. That follow up IV with the panel DOES NOT have to be in person. A skill exercise will be part of the interview process also as the team has spoken with candidates who show years and years of experience on paper but sometimes we find that's not the case. So to re-cap: there will be one basic interview and the second (more of an interactive one) to test their experience.
