R1 RCM Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was pretty bad. The interviews themselves were alright, and they ended up not moving forward with me after all the rounds, but they couldn't even be bothered to send a simple rejection email. When I followed up for an update, they cited a clerical error, which is when I found out the decision. It seems like they're okay with just ghosting candidates when it's convenient for them.

The interview process had 4 parts. First was a recruiter call, a scheduled Zoom meeting where they briefly talked about the role, benefits, and the company. Second, I interviewed with 2 seniors for about 15 minutes; they were really nice and friendly. The third step was a take-home assignment. Lastly, I had an interview with the manager. I was a bit nervous, but she was very nice. All in all, it was a great experience.

I was contacted by a recruiter named Irene Wils. I noticed on the job description that this position required 1 week paid training on-site in Atlanta, GA. I emailed Irene to ask if this was mandatory or if out-of-state candidates could complete the training remotely. She replied stating that it was mandatory and asked if I wanted her to cancel our meeting. I then noticed I applied for another position (Revenue Cycle Analyst) with similar pay and duties. I let her know I applied for this position and asked if we could keep our interview to discuss the other position. She immediately said she's not recruiting for the other position and that there are 30+ recruiters at R1, cancelled our interview, and told me "Good luck!". I then replied that it was a bit much to expect a candidate to pay out-of-pocket travel expenses, room and board for a company that makes on-site training mandatory. She then replied that R1 does pay for everything, which was excluded from the job description and she failed to inform me until after she cancelled everything. She seemed eager to cancel the interview even after the initial email. I expected her to be more helpful and perhaps send my application to the corresponding recruiter, but no. What a disappointing experience with such a careless recruiter!!!

I went through three interview stages for a senior IT auditor role and thought it went great. Then HR scheduled a call to give me interview feedback, but it turned out they were hiring someone else. It was disappointing that they didn't just send an email, especially since I felt I did well. I suspect the IT audit director I spoke with was biased, and the whole process felt disappointing. To make it worse, they relisted the job after claiming they'd found a candidate. Hiring teams should be transparent and not waste applicants' time.
