How can I apply for a job at Flex? Tips from recruiters

At Flex, we make employment selection decisions based on merit, qualifications, and abilities. As an employer, our mission is to provide an environment where every colleague is empowered to grow personally and professionally.

The stress of changing careers or searching for a new job can be exacerbated by the uncertainty of available opportunities and a competitive labor market. To provide guidance about what to expect when you apply for an open role at Flex, members of our talent acquisition team shared their knowledge about the recruitment process and how to stand out. You can find more career advice on our @CareersAtFlex channel.

Applying for a job at Flex: The recruitment process

Our recruitment process is easy to follow: when you find a job posting that matches your skills and experience, please apply via Workday, our Applicant Tracking System (ATS). If your qualifications match the job requirements, a recruiter will contact you to set up a phone screen. Our recruiters’ best practice is to notify you within three business days of any changes to your job application status. However, that can change depending on volume. We don’t accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services.

Every application is visible in our system and, for you, in your candidate account. When you log into your account, you can check your application status and update your resume and contact information.

How to make your resume stand out

Wondering “how do I make my resume stand out?” You aren’t the only one. How a candidate can make their resume more visible to hiring managers and recruiters is one of the most popular questions we receive. To provide you with an answer, we reached out to Anusha Sathyamoorthy, our talent acquisition specialist from Chennai, India.

How interviews are conducted

The past few years have been marked by uncertainty, physical distancing, and hybrid options designed to keep everyone safe. But even during the worst of times, we know, that kindness and empathy go a long way in the business of hiring talent.

We reached out to Laura de la Garza, our talent acquisition specialist in Guadalajara, Mexico, to walk you through the interview stage during the recruitment process.

Laura has worked for more than ten years in the human resources world, interviewing talent daily. She enjoys connecting with people to provide them with the opportunity of a global career, no matter where they’re based.

And because she cares about the health and safety of our colleagues and our candidates, she – and Flex – have adapted to an improved interview process in these post-pandemic times.

Employee development: Training for new and existing employees

Career development skills training is fundamental in adapting to a competitive and demanding market. To offer insights into employee training and development opportunities, we reached out to Christine Adams, our talent acquisition specialist from Austin, Texas.

Christine also shared that for many of our roles, we’ve implemented a “buddy” system for new hires, helping them navigate the challenges of an unfamiliar environment and new teams.

We want you to succeed and to feel appreciated so you can bring your best to work. Your success is what makes us an outstanding global team, driven by passion and collaboration. At Flex, we also value and respect our colleagues, and we take pride in the unique perspectives and experiences brought by diverse talent. As our CEO Revathi Advaithi has said many times, “We are a company of people.”
