If you think we are a good match for you, complete a UWT Employment Application and forward it along with your resume to .

Here’s what happens next:

1) You will receive an automatic reply to confirm we have received your email.

2) Those who are short listed, will be contacted for a brief phone interview, where we will get to know your skills and experience better.

3) Successful candidates will come in for face to face interviews with the hiring manager.  Interviews often include some basic testing, such as typing or computer testing, depending on the requirements of the job.  This will all be communicated to you prior to coming in for the interview.

4) Later in the recruitment process, we ask candidates to complete an online questionnaire, which generates a report called a DISC Profile Summary, and provides us with information on your natural work styles as well as how you have adapted for your current work environment.

What is DISC?  DISC is the universal language of observable human behavior, or “how we act”. DISC does not measure education, experience, values or intelligence. It simply measures an individual’s behaviors, or how they communicate.  With the knowledge of DISC, you can learn to understand and appreciate your behavior style, and then adapt your style in communication with others. In fact, you can change the golden rule. Rather than treating others as you would want to be treated, you can treat others the way they want to be treated.

Behavioral research suggests that the most effective people are those who understand themselves, both their strengths and weaknesses, so they can develop strategies to meet the demands of their environment.  With this in mind and because of our commitment to continuous improvement of our training programs, this has become an invaluable tool in the recruitment process as well as for ongoing employee development.

5) References will be completed prior to any offers being made.

We will communicate clearly at each step of the recruitment process, so you know what to expect.
