Recruiting
Your application will be reviewed by our recruitment team, who may contact you to tell you more about Target, the job and the team. You may also simply receive email communications.
Interviewing
We use a variety of interviewing methods, choosing the most suitable option based on the position and location, including:
- Phone and virtual interviews: These are live conversations between you and interviewer, either over the phone or through a virtual meeting platform.
- In-person interviews: You would meet with the interviewer face-to-face at a designated location.
Recorded video interviews: You would respond to pre-recorded questions, and the interviewer will review your responses at a later time. All that's needed is a device with a camera and microphone (smartphone, tablet, or computer) and a good internet connection
You may experience one or more of the above formats depending on the number of interviews and other factors.
Offer/Hire

The written offer documents will detail the terms of your offer, including position, pay and benefits.
You’ll acknowledge the offer letter and complete the pre-hire screening process via your Workday Candidate Homepage . You may also need to complete other pre-hire tasks such as confirming personal information and signing documents.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check my application status?
After you apply for a job, you will receive email confirmation of submission. You can monitor the status of your application by logging into your Workday Candidate Homepage and selecting from your current applications under “My Applications.” From your Candidate Homepage you can view the status of your application, take action on pending tasks or update your information via Account Settings.
How do I request a reasonable accommodation?
In compliance with state and federal laws, Target will make reasonable accommodations for applicants with disabilities. If a reasonable accommodation is needed to participate in the job application or interview process, store candidates can reach out to the specific store directly, contact guest services at (800) 440-0680 or connect with their recruiter, if applicable. HQ and supply chain candidates should reach out to candidate.accommodations@HRHelp.Target.com.
How does a current Target team member refer me for a job?
You can find strength in your network through a referral. If you see a perfect position and know a current Target team member, they can refer you as a candidate for the job before you apply. Once they have completed their referral steps, you’ll receive an email with a link to the job posting. Use the provided link and the same email address to complete your application.
I recently applied or interviewed for a job and wasn’t selected. May I reapply?
If you were not selected for a particular job, you may always reapply to a similar or alternate job at any time. However, due to application system limitations, you may not be able to reapply to the same job for which you were previously not selected. You will see that the “apply” button is grayed out if you have already applied to that position. We recommend that you apply only for those jobs that align with your experience and interests.
Can I apply for multiple jobs?
Yes, you are welcome to apply for more than one job at a time and use the same candidate profile. However, we recommend that you apply only for jobs that align with your experience and interests.
