How do I know which employment opportunities are available?

Please visit our on-line Career Center to search for available job openings. Or, you may click here to search available job openings.
You may visit our Human Resources department Monday through Friday (8am - 4:30pm)

Where and how should I apply?

For immediate consideration, on-line applications are preferred. We accept on-line applications 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on our Career Center at www.hoaghospital.org. Our Human Resources department has computer kiosks to help you access our on-line application. If you require a paper application, you may also find them in our Human Resources department.

What steps are involved in creating an applicant profile? Is it time consuming?

If this is your first time visiting our Career Center, you must “Create a New User Account” by creating your own user-name* and password* (minimum of 6 characters). Tip: Remember your user name and password, so you can access your applicant profile again in the future.
Once you have found the position(s) in which to apply, most candidates can complete the application profile in about 15-35 minutes, or more, depending on how much work history you provide.
Our application has two pages, the “Profile” and “Employment History.” It is very important that you complete each section in their entirety. The information you provide will greatly assist in the evaluation of your suitability for the position.
Tip: Hoag Hospital places an important emphasis on the “Employment History” portion of your application. Partial or incomplete information will disqualify you from the application process, so please avoid using “See Resume,” instead, manually enter all the data.
Please note: The system will not save your information if you do not complete the process.

What information is required on the application?

There are two pages to our application. The “Profile” contains your contact information, educational background, general information, and a place for your resume (text-only format). You may also add a cover letter and list of references in the resume section. The “Employment History” requests detailed information about your previous employers and experiences. Tip: Hoag Hospital places an important emphasis on thoroughly completing this portion. The information you provide will greatly assist in the evaluation of your suitability for the position.

What are the benefits of applying on line and creating an applicant profile?

When you apply on line, you are creating your own personal applicant profile which is automatically processed into our searchable applicant database. Your information will be viewable and easily accessible to all Hoag hiring authorities and Human Resources staff for immediate review and assessment. Candidates whose qualifications are best suited for the position may be contacted by more than one Hoag representative.

Your applicant profile will remain active in our system for a minimum of 1 year. You are able to return to your profile at any time to view the status of a job that you have applied to, search and apply to new positions, create Job Agents, and update your information.

I'm having trouble cutting and pasting my resume. Can you help?

If you are having trouble cutting and pasting, try just uploading your resume. You also can save your resume as a "text only" file. By going to the `file` menu at the top of the screen, and then clicking on ‘save as’. In the window that opens there is an option below the file name called ‘Save as type’. Click on the down arrow to find the ‘text only’ option. Then, try again to cut and paste your resume.

Another option is to reformat your resume to make it as simple as possible. Underlining, italics, graphics, tables and columns will not work well with our system. If you have successfully pasted your resume but don't like the way it is formatted, you can make revisions right in the resume field.

Do I need to submit a separate application for each position I'm interested in?

No you don’t. Once you have created your profile, applying for additional or future positions is as easy as finding the job posting and clicking on the “apply now” button. Please review and modify your application for accuracy.

How often should I update my profile?

We recommend that you regularly update your profile to keep it current (ex: new employment experience, completion of a degree, new address/phone number/email, etc.). You may continue to apply to new positions without creating a new application profile each time, simply enter your username and password to access your application profile.

What if I forget my username or password?

After you have created a new application profile, your username and password will be emailed to you. It is recommended that you keep this email for future reference. If your account has a valid email address, you can enter your user name and your password will be e-mailed to you. If you forget your username and do not have a valid email address, we are unable to retrieve the information.

How long does the process take? When will I be contacted?

Once you have applied to a specific position, we receive your information for immediate review. We will review your application in a timely manner. If your information has been selected for further consideration, you will typically be contacted within 21 days.

Due to the heavy volume of applications we receive, we are unable to contact each applicant. Your information will remain in our searchable database and we will make every effort to match your background and professional skills to future openings. However, if you identify an opening at a later time, please apply for that position by accessing your applicant profile through our career center. Remember, you do not have to create another profile each time you apply.

How can I verify that you received my application?

After you have applied for a position, an email acknowledgement will be sent to the email address you entered, provided you applied directly to a position AND that you entered a valid email address.

What if my keyword search isn't turning up any openings?

Try a variety of terms. For instance, if you're interested in a CNA position, try terms other than CNA, like aide or assistant. You also could search for nurs* (the * searches for all words that contain part of a word, like nurse, nurses, nursing, etc.).

What if the position I'm looking for isn't listed?

Conduct a search by entering specific search criteria. If you select too much criteria, you might not find any results. Select too few, and the available list could be quite long. Experiment with the search criteria to find the job that is right for you.

If you have done a job search and nothing that interests you shows up, you can click on the 'Create Job Agent' button at the top or bottom of the screen. You will be notified by email when any position fitting your search description becomes available. If you searched for a specific position that you previously found and it doesn't show up, that means it has already been filled.

How long are jobs posted for?

Our career center is updated in “real-time.” That means positions are added and removed continuously, reflecting only available jobs.

What is involved in your pre-employment screening process? v

Hoag Hospital is a drug-free workplace. We support a drug-free environment with pre-employment drug screening and background checks. After a position is accepted, you will undergo a comprehensive background screening. This process usually takes 3-5 business days. Once we receive the results, you will be contacted to schedule your pre-employment health screening. You must also be able to provide proof of eligibility to work in the USA. This entire process is usually completed within two weeks of accepting the position. (Background checks include Criminal History, Social Security Verification, DMV Report, Sex Offender Database Search, Previous Employer Verification, and Workers Compensation Search).

What information should I bring with me at the time of the interview?

If you are interviewing for a position that requires any licensures, credentials, or registrations, please bring your original documentation for verification. It is optional to bring an updated resume and references, unless otherwise requested.

I am a current Hoag employee, how do I apply for a transfer?

If you are a current Hoag employee, you do not need to complete an employment application. Current Hoag Employees are considered “Internal Applicants” and must submit an “Inter-Department Transfer Request” form to Human Resources for approval*. We strongly recommend that you include an updated resume with your form. Transfer Requests are kept confidential and only the hiring manager for the position you are applying for will see your information. You may access a Transfer Request form through the WAVE, or the Human Resources Department. (*Transferees must meet all “Conditions of Transfer” to be eligible).
