I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IQVIA (Raleigh, NC) in Mar 2019
Interview
Recruiter found cv on linkedin. First screen was recruiter, 1/2 hr, then 20 min with HR..make sure to state reasons why wish to work at IQVIA, and interested in either Oncology-probably preferred or General Therapeutics. Next a 1 hour phone interview, originally planned as a Skype but switched to a phone interview. IQVIA-Very nice staff, standard questions, gave time to respond and explain, many opportunities to ask questions. Interview conducted on a Friday..important--advisable to do this late in the week so as to obtain staff which are not as busy as earlier in the week and possibly in a better mood. Monday/Tuesday interviews not really advised
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Limited time on site, say 3 hours, what would you do. 2. What is done at an average visit...make sure to include meeting with coordinator and PI 3. How to increase contacts with the PI, or handle a very busy PI. 4. Finished early...asked if any extra questions...team structure, whether using CTMS--they use Inform and CTMS, except for a few old studies where -oh no Lotus notes are used. So don't say anything about not liking Lotus notes, though no one does.

I applied online. I interviewed at IQVIA (Cleveland, OH) in Jun 2026
Interview
a week after I applied, I got a call from a recruiter, He reviewed salary and job expectaions. Then I did the HireVue interview. Now I am scheduled to have a virtual interview with "the hiring team". not sure what that means, but that's what the recruiter called it. I do know someone that works at IQVIA and they referred me for the job. Not sure if that had anything to do with it.
