Community members will often inquire about positions that aren't currently being hired for. The DRI for receiving applications is Fleet's Head of People, whose team uses a set of template responses and updates Fleet's HRIS with new applicants. Fleet's SLA for responding to applicants is 1 business day, though this doesn't necessarily mean that the hiring manager has bandwidth to take further action after that initial reply. In that initial reply, candidates are encouraged to apply for future positions if they don't hear back further within a few days. +At Fleet, we use the contact form to communicate with future team members.
