What's the hiring process at Big Lots?

To begin, candidates must apply online because the screening process must go through their human resources department first. To complete an online application or view available positions at Big Lots in your area, go to www.careers/biglots.com. The website also offers a notification option that will alert you when relevant positions at Big Lots open up.

Once you submit your application online, you will receive an automated acknowledgment via the email address you added. The length of time to review all applications varies by position - ranging from two days to three weeks.

If qualified, you will be contacted by a Big Lots Team Member to set up a 1:1 interview. In most cases, the interview lasts for 30 to 60 minutes. For most entry-level positions, only one interview is needed.

Typically, you'll hear back within a day or two on whether you have the job. In some cases, they may hire you on the spot. For management positions, it may require several rounds of interviews that can take up to one month.
