FAQs for LAC Group's Job Site
1. May I e-mail my resume to someone instead of using the online system?
In order to apply formally for an advertised position, an applicant must submit his/her resume via the online authenticated system; however, if you would simply like to submit a resume to us, you can do so by emailing: SUBMIT MY RESUME. Please note that emailing your resume will not allow you to provide a cover letter, nor will it allow you to manage your applications or personal information. If you would like to use these features, you must use the Register link.
2. I can’t remember my username. How do I find that?
If you have ever registered with us, you have a username and password. If you attempt to login, but have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Your Password?" link. Your username is your email address. Use the email address you would have provided (and that you still have access to) in order to recover your password. After you login, you can change your email address, upload a new resume, view your applications and much more.
3. I am having problems with my password in the registration process. Why doesn't my password work?
For your security, we require that your password be a minimum of eight (8) characters AND that it contain at least one (1) alpha AND at least one (1) numeric character.
Example of valid passwords: password1 or 1234password
Examples of invalid passwords: reallystrongpassword or 82734987162
4. I have registered by submitting my resume for your consideration; however, I did not attach it for a specific position. Will someone call me back to discuss my career interests?
Maybe. We do have positions for which we are not allowed to post, and in those rare cases when your resume matches what the client is looking for, yes, we will contact you if you closely match our client’s qualifications. In most cases, however, you will not receive a call to discuss your career interests outside of an interview for a specific opportunity for which you applied and for which you are among the most-qualified applicants.
5. What is the difference between an LAC Group–based position and a client-based position?
LAC Group provides our clients contract, temporary and outsourced staff. LAC Group also performs “direct-hire” sourcing and recruiting services for our clients. Some of the positions advertised on our website are for positions in our company, where LAC Group would be the employer of record (i.e. the legal employer), whereas for other positions our client would be the legal employer and hiring organization. If you’re not sure from reading the position description advertised, then feel free to discuss this with our recruiter during an interview to clarify the type of employment situation. (Please also refer to the question below.)
6. If hired, how do I know whether I would be an employee of LAC Group or of your client organization?
It would depend on the particular position. Some positions are LAC Group employee positions, where our employee works on assignment at a client location (or via telecommuting set-up). Other employment situations, commonly referred to as “direct hires,” indicate that LAC Group is acting as the facilitating agent and search firm who sources and screens candidates on behalf of our client organization. In the latter situation, the candidate hired would be an employee of the client organization, not of LAC Group. (Please also refer to the question above.)
7. Are your positions benefitted?
Most of the time yes; however, some are not. Please refer to the job posting or, if invited to interview, feel free to discuss during with our recruiter.
8. May I submit my resume for multiple jobs?
Yes, our system allows you to login, search for and apply to as many positions as you like. Please read all job postings carefully.
9. I'm having problems uploading my cover letter. How do I do this?
During the registration/application process, you have the option to cut-and-paste (not upload) a cover letter into the appropriate text-box. If you cut and paste a cover letter into your profile during your non-job-specific registration process, you will also be able to cut-and-paste a job-specific cover letter at a later time during the application process.
10. How soon will someone be contacting me?
You will receive an automated response immediately. You can always login to your accout to see what applications we have on file for you or whether we may be missing any information. Once you have registered, and then applied for a position, and only if you are one of the candidates selected, will you be contacted. This can take anywhere from several days to several weeks.
11. I registered with LAC Group about a year ago. Do you still have my information?
Yes we do. However, if your information has changed or you have an updated resume, you may want to take the time to login and update your profile data as well as see what open positions we have available.
12. How do I know which organization will see my information (resume, CV, etc.)?
The LAC Recruiter who interviews you for a particular position will discuss with you, at the time of an interview, who (which organization) would see your information.
13. If invited for an interview, how will I interview with LAC Group if I live out of the area in which the position will be based?
LAC Group recruiters use Skype video conferencing in order to conduct interviews with candidates who are not in the area.
