Canada Amazon Hiring Process
Learn how our hiring process works
When you apply for an hourly role at Amazon, the first thing you’ll notice is that you don’t need a resume. Here’s what to expect from the moment you click “Apply” to your first day on the job.
Step 1: Job Application
Our online application usually takes about fifteen minutes to complete and consists of providing some information about yourself and selecting your preferred shift.
Step 2: Attend a pre-hire appointment
Next, you will attend an in-person, pre-hire appointment. Review your pre-hire checklist for all the details on what to bring to the event, including proof of your identity and employment eligibility. You don’t get paid to go to a pre-hire appointment — it is part of the application process.
Tip: Be sure to check the Authorization Documents you will need to bring.
