Featured Interview

Anonymous Employee
I interviewed at Ascension
Very easy as they are always looking for applicants. Willing to work with my schedule. PRN or PT. Manager is great and always available to answer questions and help. Easy process.
- Have you completed at least 1 semester of clinical and are you still currently in good standing at your nursing school

Anonymous Employee in Kalamazoo, MI
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Ascension (Kalamazoo, MI)
I had two phone interviews, one with an HR rep and one with the department manager. They never asked me about my qualifications, work experience/education, and never asked for references. I honestly have no idea what incentive they had to hire me. So many red flags.
- Literally the only question they asked me between two interviews was "Are you interested in this job?"

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Ascension
Thoroughly wonderful and friendly...very transparent. Made me more excited to go through the process. I was looking forward to the process. I think that anyone would find the process easy and stress free.
- Can't remember a single thing.

Anonymous Employee

Direct questions were asked. Straight forward conversation was had. Had open and clear dialogue about pay and benefits. Good atmosphere was provided. Clear communication was given. People were friendly. Follow up was prompt.
- Why did you have a gap in employment?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Ascension
Received an email from the Talent Recruiter to set up a phone screen. Scheduled it and then 6 MINUTES before the call was supposed to begin, received the following email: I am sorry but we are no longer doing phone screens for this position per the hiring leader. I will get back to you if we continue to recruit for the position. The very next day, I get an email that says I was not selected for the position. They talk about the culture on their website extensively but this is a poor way to treat people. Total disregard for time wasted waiting for a call and preparing for the interview.
