At McKee Foods, we value a thorough and respectful hiring process. Candidates start by applying online and submitting a detailed work history or résumé. We carefully review all applications and encourage patience during this stage. Selected applicants are then scheduled for a phone interview with a recruiter, followed by skills assessments that may include agility or job‑specific tests.

Final interviews are typically behavior-based and conducted on-site or via video with members of the hiring team. After the interviews, a successful candidate receives an offer. Please note that background checks and drug testing are part of our final hiring decision process.

A typical McKee Foods hiring cycle takes about two to four weeks from application to offer, though timelines can vary by role. We review each application carefully to ensure the right fit, so some positions may require additional interviews or assessments. A recruiter will keep you updated on the status of your application.
