Our philosophy is simple: We just want to help. It’s apparent in everything we do — in the way we treat our employees, the way we give back to the community, and in the way we do whatever it takes to make our customers lives easier.

We didn’t set out to be the largest privately owned moving and storage company in the area. It all started in Jim and Shirley Kuhn’s basement, when their son, Chuck, decided he didn’t want to just make money — he wanted to make a difference.
The enterprising 16-year-old started with just two employees, a truck, and a promise to provide clients with high-quality moving services at a great price. But as Chuck made more moves and met more clients, he quickly realized that the moving industry was in need of change. The industry had a bad reputation—and because people only moved about three times in their lives, there really wasn’t any incentive for change.
So Chuck decided to create JK Moving, a company comprised of more than just movers; he wanted move experts. Forget day laborers. JK started hiring full time employees who were passionate about helping others. JK aligned with the best organizations in the industry. And when there were no standards, JK created them. For example, JK built its own training facility, a two-story house complete with furniture, wallpaper, fixtures, carpet and more.
Today, JK Moving Services is the largest independent moving companies in North America. The company philosophy is simple: JK knows what matters most. You can see the philosophy at work in everything JK does, from the way in which it serves its customers — to the way in which the company operates.

Application
I applied through other source. I interviewed at JK Moving Services (Sterling, VA) in August 2017.
Interview
After submitting a resume and applying on their site on 08/15/17 it only took two days for me to get a call from a gentleman asking to setup an interview when the General Manager returned from being out of town and I had completed a PI survey. I informed them that being that I was currently employed I would need a specific day and time before I could commit to an interview. I was told that would be fine and they would be in touch to setup a time. Previously I had applied for a different position at JK and had already taken a PI survey. I never received an email with the link to a new PI survey. Realizing that I had already filled out a survey I decided to call their HR to find out if my previous survey would be valid or if I needed to complete a new one since I was applying for a different position. Calls were placed daily for three days to reach HR and each time it went straight to voicemail. The third day I spoke to the operator to find out if HR was also out of town since none of my calls had been returned. She was able to transfer me to Marco in HR. Marco was also unsure if my previous PI survey would still work and said he'd need to look into it, but would email me back as soon as he had an answer. He was prompt in getting back to me to let me know that my PI would still be fine. That email was received on 08/18/17. That was the last time I heard from anyone. I continued to check back on the website to see the status of my application. Today, 08/29/17 the application status was finally changed from "review" to "closed". I have handled the hiring process from start to finish at several of my occupations previously. The fact that it took three days to even reach an actual person from HR was unacceptable. The fact that there was a call placed in regards to setting up an interview pending the PI survey was also senseless when there was already a survey from me in their possession. Finally, the fact that a phone call wasn't made or email sent to inform me or other applicants that the position had been filed was also rather unprofessional, especially when that status wasn't changed until nearly two weeks later.
