To initiate the hiring process, an application must be completed and returned to our headquarters in St. Louis. 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, a hiring specialist will review it and decide whether or not you will proceed to the next stage. Our hiring process is extremely selective. On average, 10 percent of those who apply are hired as Investment Representatives. If you are selected to move forward, you will be contacted in order to set up a first interview, which is conducted by phone. This interview lasts on average 30 to 45 minutes. Following this interview, a decision will be made as to whether you will advance in our selection process.
If you are selected to proceed, the next step will be to decide, if hired, where you would like to build your Edward Jones business. Edward Jones associates will discuss with you the areas we have identified for growth and will assist you as you near a decision regarding the market in which you would like to build your Edward Jones business.
We will ask you to visit the markets you are considering.
Upon final market selection, you will be required to conduct face-to-face surveys unrelated to Edward Jones at residences and businesses. Conducting the surveys will allow you to experience one aspect of the work of an Edward Jones Investment Representative.
After that, you will complete a face-to-face interview with a hiring team member. He or she will be an experienced Investment Representative. 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.
