I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at UnitedHealth Group (Portland, OR) in May 2013
Interview
Phone interview. Very straightforward, asked about experiences providing in-home care. I spoke with 3 interviewers, including the UnitedHealth group recruiter who contacted me through my LinkedIn profile. Since I was already working in this area of health care, the interview was very smooth. I think that because they contacted me they were fairly certain that they would offer me a position, so that made the process very easy for me.

Question 1
Did I enjoy visiting people's home, and was it a comfortable experience for me. Asked about different experiences I had encountered as a nurse practitioner in the home and how I dealt with them.
Initial recruiter screening very easy and straightforward. Met with manager and had some scenario questions. "What would you do with a patient in this situation". Manager was encouraging and helpful. Pleasant interview experience.

I applied online. I interviewed at UnitedHealth Group in Jul 2020
Interview
First met with Recruiter whi asked a few questions. Then was sent email arranging phone interview with regional manager for LA area. Thought it was strange, as the position is in the Pacific NW. The Manager asked questions about dealing with difficult clients in their homes, was I afraid of dogs, ect.
I asked how much time is given to commute between scheduled clients, how are client appointments given. Explained that traffic in this area could be reached slow. She said that you would give clients a fifteen minute window of time for arriving for their gome visit. When I pushed her for a more realistic clarification of what kind of scheduling info patients are told she said that when she was going to patient homes, ( before becoming a Manager, I guess) she would call patient the night before and tell them they are first:second/third on the mornings or afternoon visits scheduled.
She didn’t seem to like my asking her for more real world explanations of their Home visit scheduling scenarios.
