I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sagent Behavioral Health (Minneapolis, MN)
Interview
Initial phone interview with the head of the HR department and then a face-to-face meeting with the Clinical Director and the Office manager. The atmosphere of the interview was very pleasant and upbeat.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked what kind hell I was passionate about serving.
The interview was pretty standard for the mental health industry. It seems that experience with LGBTQQIA population and experience doing marriage and family therapy is a must. There seems to be a preference for experience working with clients with a substance use disorder. The interviewer was nice.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Sagent Behavioral Health (New Brighton, MN) in Apr 2017
Interview
There were three interviews total and you were required to write a integration paper which was something I hadn't done before, but I enjoyed doing it. You had one interview over the phone prior to meeting with a recruiter. After meeting with the recruiter you were to write a paper and submit it. After submitting the paper you had to meet with a clinical supervisor that asked you questions pertaining to your therapy technique and how you would handle certain situations. After all that, the three people (phone call person, recruiter, and clinical supervisor) would speak and decide whether or not to make an offer.
