It is important that you do not create more than one profile with Mosaic. Our recruiters track your recruitment and hiring progress within our system (ie. your interview comments, which programs you have applied to, which programs you have been hired on to, etc). If you apply online with a new profile, the recruiters will assume you are a brand new candidate and all of your previous Mosaic history could be lost. Click on “forgot password” to have your password emailed to you so you can log into your existing profile.
If you remember your username and password, just click on the “Create and Update Your Profile” tab and log in as a returning user. If you are still unable to access your profile, email us at recruiting.canada@mosaic.com , and be sure to provide your username (email address) and your full name.
The reason you are unable to create another account is because you are already in our system. If you have forgotten both your username and password, email us at recruiting.canada@mosaic.com , and be sure to provide details.
Our recruiters do their very best to acknowledge each and every successful candidate (a successful candidate is one who has the appropriate skill set and experience for the job). If you apply online to a position and are not contacted, it is likely due to one of the following reasons: The recruiter may have hired someone for the position already or you do not have the appropriate skill set and/or experience necessary for the position. Please keep applying to positions on our job list that you think are a good fit for your skills.

A permanent part time position is one where you are employed on a specific program or multiple programs to provide lone term merchandising and sales support.
A blitz is another word for a short-term program or special initiative. For example, some clients require Mosaic’s help in launching or distributing a new product, facilitating a special character in-store appearance, or simply providing extra support through the busy holiday season. These opportunities can last anywhere from one day to two weeks. People who gain experience on our blitz opportunities typically make a great addition to our long-term staff when an opportunity becomes available.
Really, just the basics. Of course, that means you need to have Internet access and be familiar with navigating the Internet, using e-mail, and opening/sending/saving Microsoft Office documents on an IBM computer. If you are here applying online, chances are you know your way around a computer.

Absolutely! You can apply to Mosaic in general to get your name in our pool of candidates if you don’t see a job of immediate interest. We do recommend applying to specific positions as this puts you at the top of a recruiter’s mind and ensures you are contacted faster. If you don’t see a job of interest now, create a profile and check back in a week to see new positions. Our jobs are constantly changing. As soon as you see one of interest, apply to that specific job, using your log in name and password you already created.
Yes! Please apply to as many jobs that interest you as this increases your chances of being hired! Our recruiters will contact you to determine the best fit for your schedule. If the job schedules don’t conflict and you are interested in both positions, you may be places on multiple roles at the same time.
