How Recruitment Works;

This is a brief description of the process to get into the Elevator Trade. It is governed and audited by the state of Nevada. It is called a recruitment.

The way this works is as follows.

1)      The JATC Committee (Made up of four members of company management and four from the IUEC) looks at future hiring requirements and how many applicants are left on the list. They review once a month and call for a recruitment when they feel that the list is getting short, or if the current list is going to be two years old.

2)      The State is notified of the dates, times and place where applications will be given out, where and when we plan to advertise, and other information related to our application plan. They review and approve or recommend changes. Once we have a State approved plan, that is the only time and place that we can sign out applications.

3)      All applications must be picked up in person, during the posted times. They cannot be mailed or picked up by someone else for you. They are logged out with the persons name, date, and drivers license number to insure that applications are only given out during the registered times. Applicants must bring a copy of their High School Diploma & Birth Certificate when they sign out their application.

4)      The written test. All applications are processed and the applicants are scheduled for a written test. This test includes three sections: math, reading, & mechanical skills. The test is pass / fail only and is used to determine if the applicant has the basic ability to pass the NEIEP apprenticeship classes. The test doesn’t count toward the persons final score, it just gets them to the interview phase.

5)      The Interview. All applicants who pass the written test are scheduled for an interview. The interviews are done by teams of two, one representative from the companies and one from the IUEC. All applicants are asked the same questions, again approved by NEIEP and the government, and given a score. This score is what gives them their ranking on the hiring list. This is the time to bring all education documentation, welding certification or other documentation that will help improve the interview score. Once on the list, the person has to wait until we get to their number, them we call them when a job comes up.

The list is used for two years, or until it gets short. If we do a new recruitment before two years, anyone still on the old list is notified that they have the opportunity to re-interview if they have something new that might improve their score. (Welding Cert, education, or different job experience.) If they haven’t done anything since the last interview, they will be placed on the next list with their old score.
