Applied and got an email for a phone interview with the recruiter, the interview was 30 minutes and she asked a lot of questions. After that, she scheduled me for an interview with the manager/PCD and herself again, this time via Zoom. The interview went well, the manager was very nice, they both asked questions. Two days later, I got a call from the recruiter asking additional questions then she told me she would schedule me for an in-person interview with the PCD again and a nurse from the unit. The day of the meeting, I went in-person, but the PCD called out. I had to interview with the charge nurse and another manager. I felt the interview went well, but at this point, I was being asked the same questions over again and felt a bit put off. There were 3 rounds of rigorous interviews. The charge nurse told me she would let the PCD and recruiter know how it went and I would be hearing back by the end of the week or the following week. After almost 2 weeks, nothing. Initially, the recruiter told me she would give my application to reference check, but I noticed it never changed from in-process. Then I saw the job listed back on the NYP website when it was taken down before. So today I sent a follow-up email and the recruiter called and told me unfortunately they have moved on to another applicant. Then 5 minutes later, she sent me an email basically saying the same thing. I checked my NYP account and she finally moved the application to no longer in consideration.

I applied online and then got an email with a link to record myself. The recording was to introduce myself and explain why I chose NYP. After that, a talent acquisition person called me, and I had a Zoom interview with the manager. Then I got an email to submit my references, and the following week, I received an offer.

Behavioral Presentation

I first met my recruiter at a Lunch-and-Learn to learn about the hospital and units. I then spoke in person with my recruiter about the roles I'm interested in. Later, my recruiter contacted me to set up another in-person interview with the nurse managers. After our interview, a nurse gave me a tour of the unit to help me understand the job and work environment. I then reached out to my recruiter for a timeline update on the results. A reference link was sent, and I saw they intended to offer me a position. After submitting references, I received a written offer and some questionnaires. I accepted and am now waiting for the next steps.
