First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at CORA Physical Therapy.
Digital Health Specialist
The interview process went well I thought. I spoke with a recruiter and then had 2 follow up interviews with a manager. I received a generic email thanking me for applying but let me know I was not selected to continue. After investing in 3 interviews I would have hoped to at least gotten a personal email from one of the interviewers. I reached out again to ask for feedback on why I was not selected but also received no response. I was so impressed with CORA during the interview so I was quite surprised of how candidates that are not selected are receiving no true follow up. I would have loved to try to interview again at a future date if another position opened up but based on this interview process went I would not want to put myself through that again. I wanted to express this concern to the interview team but since no one reached out to me further I chose to express my concern here.
- What's prompting your job search away from your current role?
Physical Therapy Aide
It was a pretty chill interview. First, I shadowed the physical therapist for an hour or two to get a feel for how the clinic operates. Then, we had a sit-down chat. They asked some really basic questions, plus a couple of scenarios.
- What would you do if a patient refused to do their exercises that day?
Regional Trainer
I had a phone interview with the hiring manager, then a face-to-face with the HR Director, followed by a face-to-face with the Ops Manager. After that, I had another face-to-face with the Regional Manager. So, after four interviews and a really long process, I got a standard rejection letter via email, even though I had emailed the hiring manager personally. They rejected me after the fourth interview? It seems like CORA Physical Therapy has 'leaders' who are scared to make decisions. I understand I might not have been the right fit, but did it really take them four interviews to figure that out? It's totally unfair to lead a candidate on for weeks and then reject them. Plus, I tried reaching out to these managers individually every week and never heard back until I got that automated rejection. Don't bother interviewing with them or working for them.
- How would you go about onboarding yourself into this role?
Patient Service Coordinator
I applied and got an email asking me to interview, which I confirmed. I got to the interview early but had to wait a long time because the interviewer was busy. The interviewer made a weird comment about how the person for this role should do their hair and wear makeup every day, which I thought was a bit sexist, especially since her own appearance was quite unkempt. It's been weeks with no word back, so I wasn't very impressed. The questions were a bit personal and tougher than expected.
- Can you tell me about your biggest weakness?
