The Best of the Best

There is a significant commitment demanded of a potential Retail Partner during the selection process – for a very simple reason:

We want the best possible candidates to become Retail Partners.

We know the continued growth and expansion of APCO is intrinsically linked to the quality of our people and we take great care in screening and recruiting new Retail Partners, ensuring our selection process and initial training program is robust and thorough, and helps us to properly select the right people for the role.

 

To be considered, you must:

  • Have the ability to build lasting local and community-based relationships;  

  • Have a passion for excellence and a commitment to customer service;  

  • Possess high-levels of financial literacy and experience – strong controls of margins, wages and expenses;

  • Have commercial acumen with the ability to make good financial decisions and have a positive impact on profitability and sales;  

  • Have a hands-on approach to management and leading your team from the front;  

  • Be prepared to maintain your venue, POS systems, and conduct stock ordering and stocktakes;  

  • Be experienced with recruiting, training, motivating, rostering, directing and leading a team;

  • Be available to work across a 24-7 roster; and  

  • Have an understanding that hard work and commitment will return success.

Our selection process is thorough and covers activities including questionnaires, interviews, review of business plans and personal financial information. All Retail Partners must also be able to demonstrate their commitment to the APCO culture and values.

All of these components are then evaluated before a decision is made on your suitability to become an APCO Retail Partner and move into our training program.

At any time during the course of our selection process, including during the initial training program, APCO has the right to terminate your participation in the process in its sole discretion and without being required to provide you with any reasons. Of course, you are also able to terminate your participation at any time, if it doesn’t feel right for you, then it’s not right for us either. If you participate in the above selection process you will incur any costs associated with the process. These include but may not be limited to travel, preparation of documents for assessment, and your time.
