The first step is a virtual interview with a member of Human Resources, the hiring manager, and potentially other team members. Step two is an onsite interview with an expanded VELCO team. From there the hiring team will make a final decision. Once the final candidate is selected, but before an offer is made, we will request three professional references (one of which must be a current or most recent manager). After reference checks are completed, we will move forward to the offer stage which includes a physical and drug screening. All VELCO employment offers are contingent upon references, background check, physical and drug screening.
