Humana Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I applied online on a Saturday and got an email Tuesday to set-up a phone interview with the recruiter. The interview was set the next day. The call from the recruiter came late but she apologized for it. The phone interview lasted around 20 minutes. The recruiter first gave an overall description of the position, explaining the duties and responsibilities in full details. She then asked me if I am still interested with the role. When I said "yes", she went on and started with her questions. All the questions where situation questions. "When was a time you..." and you have to discuss your experience. After every question, there's an awkward silent for about a minute, I guess the recruiter is taking down notes. She asked around 7 or 8 questions before it was my turn to ask her.

I asked her some questions about the position but didn't got the answers I wanted. She gave me an explanation of something else instead. This position is practically being an administrative assistant to all the sales agents (both internal and external). I asked the recruiter about how many sales agents am I going to serve and she couldn't give a number, not even an estimate. After the interview, the recruiter told me she'd forward my application to her hiring manager and I should expect a call or email within the next few days.

The "next few days" stretched into weeks. When I didn't heard anything back in a week, I emailed the recruiter for an update. She replied and said she's have the answer in a few more days. Two weeks after the phone interview, I got the rejection letter.

Interview Details – I got a phone interview first it was about 30 mins long, I had studied the company and also prepared myself with interview questions.. After I finished that he offered me a face to face interview, I was interviewed by 2 people they made me feel very at ease. They asked the usual questions, after that they then had me too speak to the manager of customer service, and then I was offered the position I am very excited.

Interview Details – Applied online and received email requesting phone interview. Phone interview was about 20 to 30 minutes. Was given information about the position and asked if I wanted to continue to pursue. Continued with interview. Basic "what would you do in this situation" questions. Set up face to face interview. Met with 2 interviewers who asked behavioral questions which seems to be their cornerstone. They stress great service to customer so they want to know how you handle yourself with customers which is more than understandable. Received offer by phone before I returned home.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation.

Interview Details – Employment agency screening, HR screening, 2 interviews with leadership. Internal associates experience HR screening, 2 interviews with leadership. Interview questions vary based on the role you are applying for, but all questions are situational. They can be very difficult if you are not prepared for these types of formal questioning. Interviewers are given a packet of questions to choose from and usually consist of at least 3 questions that leadership feels would tell the most about whether the person would be a good fit.

Negotiation Details – no negotiations

Interview Details – Panel interview with hiring manager and supervisor, expect to be there at least an hour.

Negotiation Details – negotiate, they can be desperate and will pay you what you want.

Interview Details – Multiple phone interviews with others in same role and other leaders above role. One interview in person with direct supervisor. Company is looking both for cultural fit as well as a skills fit.

Negotiation Details – I was happy with the offer they provided. They do run a credit check.

Interview Details – They were desperate to fill the positions, so they skimmed through the questions once they confirmed I was not a derelicte. The background check was long and annoying.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation.

Interview Details – I applied in D.ec before xmas. I got an email that involved interview questions from corporate recruiter maybe around mid January. We then played phone tag for the next 3-4 weeks. We never were able to have the phone interview. Finally my local recruiter from the building I would be working at called me stating she had my resume on her desk and would like to set up an interview with the lead Doctor and head nurse, she stated she would have to get back to me. She ended up getting back to me 1 week later, finally 4 days after that I had my first and only interview with the lead doctor and nurse. Interview went amazing, yes I felt very nervous having 2 people sit down at a desk with their pen and paper taking notes of everything, however they were very humanistic and assured me I had nothing to be nervous about. They were friendly and got to know me a little bit before actual interview began. Interview lasted about 1 1/2 hours and remained quite casual. Interview became a little technical when it came to the clinical questions, however I knew my stuff, thank goodness I did because if i would have gone in there new grad RN I would have looked like an idiot. Doctor stated that he was going to ask me some clinical questions and if i do not answer his question he will ask again in a more complicated different way each time I do not provide the answer he wants. Scared me a little, but I knew my stuff, I almost had to pick up the nurses jaw from the desk, the doctor was asking me for specific doctors orders including labs and medications for certain conditions within the hospital setting, things that a nurse with 1 year of experience rarely are familiar with, but i believe i answered well. Interview ended with them explaining Humana benefits package and them taking copies of my nursing and drivers license. I stated to him I had another offer and how long it would take for them to get back to me if they wanted to onboard me or not, he stated he didn't quite know but that if he gets to corporate fast then they should get back to me within 2 weeks. That was on Thursday, by Tuesday corporate recruiter called with an offer and explained to me that this offer will not be negotiable after corporate approval. Corporate approval took almost 2 weeks, horrible wait. Then by Feb 28th I was given start date for march 18th and began the drug screening/background check.--pretty long process, but what they offer is worth the wait.

Negotiation Details – I was able to negociate the base pay in a way that I make more than what i make at the hospital including shift differencials and floor incentives...Advice to others, before that offer is delivered to corporate, be sure you are clear clear clear to your recruiter about what you want and expect. And make sure you include at all levels from applying to interview process, your salary after all incentives so you dont end up with an offer that makes less than what you actually make at the hospital. they asked me about 4 times what I make at the hospital and i always rounded up after all the incentives

Interview Details – Very informal for first interview. The next two became increasingly formal with directed questions.
