The interview process included a phone call with the recruiter, followed by an interview with the regional manager. The final round was an in-person meeting with the Doctor. There were many questions focused on personal experiences with insurance, conflict resolution, and fostering team spirit. They also asked about how I would manage office drama.

I applied online and a few days later a recruiter contacted me. She mentioned the practice manager would reach out. The manager called me the same day and we spoke for about twenty minutes. She then proposed a day-long "practical interview" at the office, for which they said they would pay me. I brought in my info for payroll. I was there for the entire business day. I met the doctor briefly. The practice manager said she'd get back to me. The front office person, who was training me, discussed the next steps for hiring. They conduct a background check, which is fine. I thought I was going to be hired. A few days later, I received an email stating I wasn't selected because they chose someone with more experience. The practice manager texted me after the day ended; I texted back and called her, but got her voicemail. She never called me back. I emailed the recruiter about getting paid for the day, but she never responded either. Just wanted to give you a heads up if you interview with them.

Had a quick 10-15 minute phone chat first, then the recruiter passed my info to the office manager at the location I applied to so they could set up an in-person interview. After meeting in person, there was a working interview to see if I'd like the job duties and office environment. They offered me the job right after that! The whole thing was pretty fast, about 3 weeks from start to getting hired.

The first round was a 45 min video call with 2 people from the campus recruiting team. It took about 2 weeks to hear back and then I met with a manager. What I thought was really unprofessional was that after my interview with the manager and sending a thank you note, I never heard back from them. About 3 weeks went by and I hadn't heard anything. I messaged the manager asking when I would hear back, they emailed me right away saying I wasn't moving forward. I don't get how it took me to reach out for them to tell me I wasn't moving on. Doesn't look good.
