01

Create your account

Use the email address you want SCG to contact. After signup, log in with the same email and password to continue the application.

02

Create your applicant profile

Add your contact information, academic details, resume link, and how you heard about SCG. This profile stays tied to your account.

03

Upload your resume to Google Drive

Your resume must be a PDF—not a Google Doc, Word file, or folder. If needed, download or export it as a PDF first. Upload that PDF to Google Drive, set General access to anyone with the link can view, then copy the PDF file's link.

04

Submit the application

Answer the required application questions and submit the form. You may return to update and resubmit your responses until the application deadline. SCG reviews only the latest saved version.

05

Return for availability

If you are invited to interview, come back to the Candidate Portal and select your available interview times.

06

Ask for help if you get stuck

Use the support ticket button in the footer if you have a question, cannot access your account, or need help with your resume link or availability.

Resume Link

How to share your resume from Google Drive

  1. Upload your resume PDF to Google Drive.
  2. Right-click the file and choose Share.
  3. Under General access, choose Anyone with the link.
  4. Set the permission to Viewer.
  5. Click Copy link and paste that link into the portal.

Before submitting, open the copied link in a private/incognito window. If it opens there, SCG reviewers should be able to access it.

FAQ

Common candidate questions

What are the stages of the Candidate Portal?

Profile covers your contact, academic, and resume information. Application contains your responses for the current recruiting cycle. Availability opens only if you are invited to interview and need to submit possible interview times.

What should my resume link look like?

Use the Google Drive sharing link for an uploaded PDF resume. It usually starts with https://drive.google.com/. Google Docs, Word files, and folder links are not accepted. Set access to anyone with the link can view.

Can I update my resume after creating my profile?

Yes. In the Candidate Portal, open Resume, choose Update resume link, and save your new public Google Drive PDF link. Resume updates close at 11:59 PM Eastern on the application deadline, just like application edits. SCG sees your latest saved resume link.

Can I edit my application after submitting it?

Yes. Open Edit Application in the Candidate Portal, revise your responses, and save again before 11:59 PM Eastern on the application deadline. Each save replaces the prior version, and SCG reviews only the latest saved responses.

Why do I need both a profile and an application?

Your profile stores reusable information like contact details and resume. The application stores your answers for the current recruiting cycle.

When do I submit availability?

Availability opens only if you are invited to an interview round. The portal will show the availability form when it is available for your status.

What should I do if I forgot my password?

Use Forgot your password? on the Candidate Login page. The Hub will email a private one-hour reset link. If the email does not arrive after checking spam, create a Password Help ticket from the footer.
