I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DaVita (Houston, TX) in Jun 2012
Interview
I was contacted by online recruiter and set up for phone interview 2 days later. Interview went well, closed with interviewer saying he would push me forward to the next stage of the process. I heard nothing for 2 weeks, but was then emailed back by same recruiter, who apologized and said next person would be contacting me. To his credit, that woman called 15 minutes later to set up interview with FA the next Tuesday. I went to that interview, felt it went well, was told about training and salary and then told FA (who had been on the job 2 weeks) was going back to Colorado for training, but would contact me the following Monday. Monday came and went, another week passed, and I sent a follow-up email to that FA inquiring about my status insofar as being considered or rejected for employment. Two more days have passed and I have not heard back either through email or telephone.
I felt both people I interviewed with were very nice, but busy. The people in the office did not seem unhappy or bitter. The facility seemed clean. I did seem to know more about the company than the FA did, especially its green initiative, but that's probably splitting hairs.
They should have contacted me. That's basic business protocol and also polite when adults interact with each other personally or professionally. I can't speculate why things happened as they did, but I know that I would have have handled things differently if our roles were reversed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you deal with a co-worker who is not pulling his weight?
I applied online. I interviewed at DaVita (Frederick, MD)
Interview
STAR-based interview questions were asked and the role was reviewed in detail during the screening process. The initial recruiter did not cover the Frederick area, so my information was forwarded to another recruiter covering that region. That recruiter was responsive, answered my questions, and stated she would coordinate an in-person interview experience with the facility administrator based on availability.
On June 18th, I received a call from the recruiter who shared that the facility administrator requested clarification regarding my current enrollment in graduate school and concerns about my availability to work consistently. I clarified that I am not currently attending graduate school and do not have plans to return in the immediate future. The recruiter stated she would relay this information to the facility and follow up with scheduling details.
After that conversation, I did not receive further communication. I left a voicemail for the recruiter on Monday, June 22nd with no response. On Tuesday, June 23rd, I noticed my application status had changed to “no longer under consideration” without direct notification of the decision.
While I understand hiring decisions are made at the facility level, I would have appreciated clearer communication regarding the outcome of the process. This left me uncertain about the reason for not moving forward in the process.

2. Are you ok being on call
I had a great conversation with the recruiter about the company. I was then told that I would speak with the hiring manager’s secretary to set up an interview. Set up the interview and never received a call at the appointment time. Unprofessional…
