    Frequently asked questions

    No. Please submit applications directly through ProHealth Care's employment website. You must submit an application for each specific position sought.

    After you apply for a position online, you will receive an e-mail confirmation acknowledging we’ve received your application with a link to complete the next step in our process, a Strengths Assessment through our partner, TalentPlus. Recruiters review applications to identify candidates whose experiences and qualifications most closely match the position specifications. Because we often receive an overwhelming response to many of our positions, it may take time before we contact you about the status of your application. We appreciate your patience as we carefully review each candidate's background and credentials - including yours - against the qualifications necessary for the particular position. If we identify you as a potential candidate, a recruiter will contact you via email and outline the next steps of the application process.

    We are unable to provide verbal updates on each candidate's application due to the large number of resumes we receive. However, you are able to view the status of your application by logging in to your profile and selecting the “Job Management” tab. We evaluate your qualifications for the specific job to which you applied. If we identify you as a potential candidate, a member of ProHealth Care's recruiting team will contact you directly via email. We do not provide people the name, telephone number or e-mail address of the recruiters hiring for specific positions online.

    At ProHealth Care, we are committed to growing our employees professionally. We have partnered with Talent+, an online tool designed to identify your unique strengths and how to apply those strengths within our organization. This tool will help you identify areas you may wish to develop and will also help your leader find opportunities to grow those skills. Upon completion of the assessment you will receive a personalized strengths overview and developmental feedback reports.

    The TalentMine assessment is required as part of the selection process and must be completed in order to be considered further. You will be asked to complete this assessment once per year. Example: If you completed this in March 2018, you will not need to complete it again until March 2019.

    Positions that appear on this site generally are open, even though the interview process for some may have begun. If you do not see a particular position, it is filled or no longer available.

    To be considered for other positions, you must apply online for each position of interest. Please continue to search this website for open positions

    ProHealth Care pays competitively for positions and does not publicize salaries, salary ranges or salary scales. Because of variation in position requirements and individual candidate qualifications, we set salaries on an individual basis within established guidelines for compensation.
