The process was pretty straightforward. I submitted an online application with my resume and cover letter. After that, there was a phone screening, followed by an in-person interview. Unfortunately, I never heard back after the interview stages, which was really disappointing. I know the job market is tough now and there were likely many good candidates, but it's unprofessional to leave applicants in the dark about whether they got the job or not. I hope this company will be more thoughtful of applicants' time and effort in the future.

Behavioral Group
The interview process was nice, but the scope of the job was vaguely described. I was invited to three interviews total. The first was formal in nature, and we discussed my background and work experience. The second one was a panel interview, and we discussed different scenarios that could arise on the job. The third was an observation period on the kids unit. I was supposed to shadow staff to see how the unit was ran.

I applied online with a resume and cover letter. I was disappointed when they ghosted me after two rounds of interviews, including one on site. I understand the job market is very competitive right now, but to simply never respond to a candidate after the time they have invested is incredibly unprofessional.
