The first step in applying for a position at Nelson is to complete the online application that will provide us with the details of your relevant skills and experience. You will then be asked to attach a copy of your resume and covering letter. Once your application and resume have been submitted it will be reviewed by People and Engagement and the Hiring Manager and depending on your skills and experience, you may be contacted for an interview.
Please be advised that we are unable to respond to candidate and agency inquiries and only those candidates being considered will be contacted.
STEP 2: Interview with a Recruiter
This first conversation will be with a Nelson Recruiter where together we determine your suitability, eligibility and availability for employment at Nelson. It will also give you an opportunity to ask any questions that you might have. Your application and initial interview results are then submitted to the Hiring Manager for review.
STEP 3: Interviews with Hiring Manager/Team Members
The interview format with hiring managers can vary. You may be asked to participate in one or more interviews with the hiring manager as well as other members of the team or Division. This interview is a great opportunity for you to better understand the position you are applying for, and allow you to hear first hand what it’s like to work at Nelson!
STEP 4: Offer of Employment
If you have been identified as the successful candidate for the position you will be given a conditional offer of employment. Your offer will first be presented to you verbally over the phone to ensure that you are generally in acceptance of the terms and conditions of the offer. You will then be sent an offer package that will provide more details of the total rewards offering.
STEP 5: Reference and Background Checks
All offers of employment from Nelson are conditional upon you successfully meeting the requirements of our reference and background check process. If you have been selected as the successful candidate for the role, you will be asked for your permission to have a background check completed. Once you have accepted Nelson’s offer of employment and notified your current employer, Nelson will also conduct a confirmation of employment with your current employer.
STEP 6: Onboarding

Attending Orientation will ensure that you receive the tools and information you require to get you started at Nelson. This session will also allow you to meet other new Nelson employees just like you! You will also be assigned a Mentor within your group, a dedicated resource to support you in your new role.
