At The Fresh Market, we believe it's the small things that make the biggest difference: A perfect flower. A fresh cup of coffee. A friendly employee who goes beyond the call of duty. These are the things that change our mood and our day. These are the things we remember.
The Fresh Market recruitment process has been built to ensure that all individuals interested in exploring opportunities within our company have the ability to share their qualifications and skills.
Application Process
All candidates interested in a career with The Fresh Market must complete an on-line job profile and the appropriate assessment. Our process will require that each candidate complete a profile for a current opening of choice or complete a profile for future openings. Should candidates elect to complete a job profile for future openings, the candidate may request to receive e-mail notification from The Fresh Market should an opening become available that matches their interest.
 The completion of a job profile may take up to 25 minutes and our assessments are designed to take 20 to 25 minutes dependent upon the position of interest.
Candidates interested in store operational positions with the exception of Assistant Store Manager are welcome to complete an on-line profile at a store location. If candidates prefer they can complete the process at their convenience from home or a location where internet access is available. All candidates for the Assistant Store Manager openings must complete the process remotely.
Our recommendation is that candidates allow 30 to 45 minutes to complete the entire process. Should you not be able to complete your profile at one sitting you will have the opportunity to save your information and return to your profile to complete at a later date.
