Once the online application is completed and reviewed, a human resources person or recruiter contacts the applicant. If the applicant meets the requirements of the position, their application is then forwarded to the hiring manager for that position. If the applicant is selected for an interview, the recruiter then contacts the applicant to schedule the interview with the hiring manager. Prior to the interview, the applicant meets with the recruiter or human resources person to discuss details about the hospital, department, salary and benefits offered. The applicant then proceeds with the interview with the hiring manager, that usually takes place in that manager's office. Depending on the position, the applicant may also meet with other leaders that have a stake in the hiring decision and this may occur during the initial interview, but the applicant may also be asked to come back for this as a second phase to the interview process. Once this is completed, HR or the recruiter will contact the applicant to let them know the hiring decision made at that time and how the applicant will proceed if applicable.
