I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Irvine, CA) in Mar 2017
Interview
The process is extremely long. I applied for a position online through the KP careers, was contacted a few weeks later by a recruiter who did a brief phone interview. After a week or so I was called in for a panel interview, about 8 managers and directors all interviewing for different departments. The panel interview went from a group of about 20 applicants and they made cuts each round, which then led to an individual interview. After the interview, I was offered the job the next day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most questions are based on your past experiences - how would you react in this specific situation, how have you reacted in the past, and then clinical questions as well.
I applied online. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente
Interview
AVOID KAISER! In the past times I have interviewed, the hiring manager or supervisor wasn't even present. They want to interview you with HR. How is that productive? If not selected, they will not let you know. They will reject you immediately after the interview if not selected. I have heard of nurses with 10years experience being treated this way. IMO, it appears they are not interviewing to hire. They are wasting people's time for some other esoteric reason. This company absolutely is the worst to interview with and says a lot about their culture. No thanks.
I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
First was the hirevue interview which is awkward. After passing that I received a call from talent management that set up date and time for a virtual interview with manager and multiple ANM’s.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente in Sep 2022
Interview
I applied online for a position, maybe a week later I received an email invitation to answer HireVue questions. Then, received another email to update my application with my license # and certs. Received another email to complete candidate snapshot. Spoke with manager over the phone for about 5 minutes, mostly him explaining an internal candidate had taken merit for the position. He had other positions to offer however, just a different schedule. Received an offer email less than 2 weeks later.
