LAS VEGAS, Steve Wynn is hiring again and expects to receive more than 100,000 applications for more than 9,000 positions available at his new Wynn Las Vegas resort opening in April 2005. To manage job applications, the resort will use an innovative on-line application process that lets prospective employees fill out job applications and track their status on-line. The software behind the process, powered by Recruitmax, a leading provider of workforce management solutions, is among the most advanced and effective in the country.
"Within the first four days we received 27,000 applications," said Arte Nathan, Senior Vice President of Human Resources. "The best thing about this method is people don't have to wait in line. People can apply for jobs they're interested in from the convenience of their home, public library, friend's house, or any other computer they have access to. The application is easy to follow and if they have any questions, they can give us a call."
Applicants who don't have access to a computer, who don't have computer skills, or who speak limited English, can call 702-770-JOBS to schedule an appointment for bilingual and / or computer help.
The online employment center opened at midnight pacific time on October 31, 2004. The address is www.wynnjobs.com. The website will provide job descriptions and applications for more than 1,000 different positions. "People don't even need to write a resume," said Nathan. "They can just answer the questions in the application and there's plenty of space to add additional information and comments."
Based on their on-line application, qualified applicants will be contacted for face to face interviews. The bulk of the interviews starts January 3 when the resort will conduct about 900 interviews a day.
"Even though the on-line employment center opens November 1, decisions won't be made on a first come, first served basis," said Nathan. "Each position will have a deadline, but there will be plenty of time for people to get their application in. The most important thing for people to know is that there's no reason to come see us face to face unless they have a scheduled meeting or interview."
