At The Brick, we're dedicated to saving you more

The Brick's friendly and professional people work hard for our customers every day. Our head office is proudly based in Edmonton, Alberta, and we operate more than 220 stores across Canada. We're not just The Brick - we're also The Brick Mattress Store, The Brick Super Store and The Brick Outlet.

Saving You More is all about value. At The Brick, our value comes from our diverse and multi-talented team. To stay on top, we are always trying to recruit friendly and energetic team members who reflect the communities we serve in.

We’re highly motivated to remain the best in the business, and we show it every day by…

· Hiring exceptional people

· Choosing products we’d be proud to own ourselves

· Negotiating the best low prices from our vendors

· Designing our stores to be friendly and easy to shop

· delivering products right to your door

In 2020 we have dedicated our recruitment efforts into not only fostering our culture of diversity and inclusion but ensuring that we are reaching out to potential team members when and where it makes sense as well as making sure our application processes are as barrier free as we can make them.

We are looking for a team to second guess our work! We think we are doing the right things but we would love to be told we are missing some things so we can close those gaps.

Application Process

Currently we offer four ways to apply for any given position:

· On location with a resume or fill out an application form

· Online with resume or fill out the online application form

· Through one of our not for profit partnerships

Interview Process

· Email Pre Screens

· In person Interviews

· Virtual Interviews

Job Posting Platforms

· Applicant Tracking System (iCims) – Google indexes each job and sends to all job boards across Canada

· LinkedIn

· Twitter

· Facebook

· In store signage

· Job Fairs (in person and Virtual)

· Not for Profit Agency Job Boards

· Post Secondary Job Boards

Not for Profit Community Partnerships (Local to Edmonton)

· CNIB

· Bredin

· EmployAbilities

· WorkingWarriors

· BGS

· Gateway

· MentorAbility

Educational Community Partnerships (Local to Edmonton)

· NAIT

· Grant MacEwan

· Norquest College

Desired Outcomes:

We would like to review all the aspects of our recruitment engagement and see how we can expand our opportunity to engage with people of different abilities, ethnicities and sexual orientations more effectively and in a more meaningful way. We would like to explore any barriers we are creating through any of these processes as well.
