What is the hiring process at Tim Hortons?

The online application submission process at Tim Hortons is quick and easy. It allows you to upload your resume and cover letter and asks some basic demographic questions. Allow anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to hear back about your online application.

For hourly, restaurant positions, you also have the option of applying at the store. We recommend going in during non-peak hours and asking for an application. Anticipate the possibility of being interviewed that day.

Hourly in-store positions typically do one 15 to 20-minute interview with the hiring manager. He or she will ask you basic questions about your background and experience in customer service, cash handling, and baking.

For warehouse and distribution positions, anticipate a 30-minute interview and brief safety assessment test. In-store management positions typically have two on-site interviews with the store and district managers. These interviews will focus more on personality and leadership-style questions.

For corporate office positions, anticipate a half-day or full-day of interviews that will either take place at the corporate office or via Zoom. These interviews will include either one-on-ones or panels with the hiring manager and your potential teammates and a representative from HR.
