How to Apply to Macy's (2026): Step-by-Step

Macy's hires at volume for store sales, customer service and fulfillment roles, warehouse jobs under Macy's Logistics, and corporate, merchandising and technology positions, with a seasonal surge every fall. macysjobs.com redirects to an Oracle Recruiting Cloud site (ebwh.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com, site CX_1001), which listed about 3,600 openings in September 2026; it is not Workday. Every posting shows a pay range and whether the role is commission-eligible. What people do not expect: some store applicants are asked to complete a recorded video interview after applying, and during holiday hiring Macy's runs nationwide in-store events with on-the-spot interviews and offers.

Where the Macy's application lives

Official careers site: macysjobs.com. Applications run on Oracle Recruiting Cloud.

• Macy's job search — Stores, supply chain, merchandising, technology and corporate roles on Macy's Oracle Recruiting Cloud site; filter by Regular, Seasonal or Temporary and Hourly or Salaried.
• Bloomingdale's jobs — Separate site (CX_1002) on the same Oracle system for Bloomingdale's stores and offices.
• Bluemercury jobs — Separate site (CX_4001) for Bluemercury beauty stores.

Step by step: applying to Macy's

1. Search macysjobs.com by keyword and city or ZIP. Use the filters for category (Stores, Supply Chain, Merchandising, Technology), Regular versus Seasonal, and Hourly versus Salaried to cut the list down.
2. Open the posting and note the store or facility, the schedule and the pay range shown under salary. Store and warehouse roles are posted per location.
3. Click Apply. The Oracle site starts from your email address and typically verifies you with an emailed code rather than a password, then builds a candidate profile you reuse for later Macy's applications.
4. Add a resume or import a profile, check the parsed work history, answer the availability and job questions, and submit. A confirmation email comes from the Oracle system.
5. Watch for a recorded video interview request. Macy's says store applicants may submit recorded interviews, and applicants on Indeed and Glassdoor identify the tool as HireVue with a few days to complete it.
6. Next is usually a short interview with a store or department manager; at seasonal hiring events Macy's interviews and makes offers the same day. Supply chain postings warn of random drug testing after hire outside union-covered sites.

Tips from Macy's applicants

• Apply for holiday work from mid-September. In 2025 Macy's announced nationwide in-person hiring events on September 25, October 23 and November 20, with on-the-spot interviews and offers at stores.
• Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury do not appear on macysjobs.com. Each brand has its own site on the same Oracle system, so search bloomingdalesjobs.com or bluemercuryjobs.com separately.
• Compare pay ranges before applying. Every Macy's posting lists a minimum and maximum rate and flags commission eligibility, which varies between selling roles at the same store.

How long the Macy's process takes

Macy's does not publish response times. Applicants on Indeed report being contacted soon after applying, sometimes the same day, with feedback within about a week and a short interview process for store roles; the recorded video step, where used, adds a few days.

Before you hit submit

Two quick wins: check your resume against the posting with the resume keywords for your role, and attach a tailored letter — see the cover letter examples by role. Decide your answers to the standard screening questions once — see desired salary and work authorization — and keep a record in a tracker.
