Hiring Stages
A successful applicant can expect to go through a number of the following steps in the hiring process. Edward Jones hiring specialists evaluate applicants at each stage to determine whether they qualify to continue in the process. Most of this evaluation process occurs via telephone.

To initiate the hiring process, an application must be completed and returned to our headquarters in Mississauga. Due to industry regulations and our own strict selection criteria, our application requests a great deal of personal information. Please complete it fully. Your application is a confidential document to be viewed internally only by people directly responsible for Edward Jones' recruitment efforts.

Once we receive your completed application, we will review it and decide whether or not you will proceed to the next stage. During this time, someone may contact you by phone to discuss any points of clarification regarding your application. Our hiring process is extremely selective. On average, 10 percent of those who apply are hired as Financial Advisors.

If you are selected to move forward, you will be scheduled with a Hiring Specialist for the next step in our process which is the phone interview. Following this interview, a decision will be made as to whether you will advance in our selection process.

After that, you will complete a face-to-face interview with a hiring team member. He or she will be an experienced Financial Advisor. After this interview, we will review all information gathered on your behalf, including the results of an industry mandated background check. Should an offer of employment be extended to you, a hiring specialist will contact you to inform you of the available training class start dates.
