Summer Staff Arrivals Beginning May 1!
So you’ve received a Conditional Offer? What’s next?
ALL seasonal staff are required to undergo an annual Criminal Background Check. The disclosures and authorization form link will be sent to your email address along with your conditional offer. Please follow the background check link from Sterling as soon as possible to avoid any delays. Be aware that the link sent to you is only good for 30 days once you receive it.
Once your Criminal Background Check is complete with satisfactory results, you will receive an email invitation to complete your employment forms and training in WorkBright. Please review and digitally sign your Letter of Employment, complete all forms, and training/uploads PRIOR to your arrival at Philmont.
