First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Spectrum Health.
Clinical Care Manager
First, I had a phone screen with the recruiter. Then, I spoke with the hiring manager. After that, there was a two-person panel interview via Teams with the hiring manager. They asked really good questions that made me think. It felt like they were genuinely interested in getting to know me as a person, not just my work history. Even though I found the interview challenging, it wasn't a bad experience. I thought I was prepared, but I still needed to take a moment to gather my thoughts before answering some questions.
- What does success look like to you?
- What strategies do you use to avoid falling behind on your tasks?
- Describe your process for handling mistakes you have made.
Patient Services Representative
The interview process started with a phone screening. If that went well, the next step was supposed to be an in-person interview. Unfortunately, I never got an update on my application status and wasn't told if I was still being considered. It was pretty unprofessional not to provide any feedback.
- What makes you want to apply for this job?
Microbiologist
The interview process was very complimentary and the interviewer was easy to work with, even during stressful times. They noted that the candidate works hard, is always on time, and pitches in for extra work when needed. The candidate has a good attitude, is a team player, and helps solve difficult problems. The overall rating was 3.6 out of 4.
- How would you encourage collaboration among scientifically-minded people and keep them happy in their roles?
Emergency Department Technician
I sent in my application on 03.29.21. After about 2.5 weeks and 2 follow-up emails, I got a call from a recruiter. They said my application was lost in the system. I heard nothing for almost a week. So, I emailed the recruiter again and then got a video interview with the manager for the specialty unit I'm looking at. Since it took them so long to respond, I applied for a similar job at another hospital in the same department. Once I got accepted there, I got a video interview notification pretty fast and then a job offer soon after.
- Tell me about your background and what sparked your interest in this role.
- Can you share a time when you gave your best effort, but the outcome was still not what you hoped for?
- How would you handle a situation where a patient becomes combative?
