hello allnurses.

i just have a question. I had a phone interview from a recruiter at kaiser a month and a half ago.everything went well.the recruiter told me that he will give me updates 1 week after i had my phone interview.after a week,i didnt get any updates,i had to call the recruiter 2-3 weeks after the phone interview.he told me that he was on leave thats why he wasnt able to update me and he hasnt heard anything yet from the managers.2-3 weeks ago from today i called him and asked about my status.He just told me to hang in there and he will notify me of any updates.If im not hired,will he update me right? because right now im still in the waiting game and not sure if kaiser will do an actual interview on me? any experience on kaiser?

Kaiser is a great place to work! The bigger the place, the slower the HR wheels grind.

Do NOT bug the recruiter. You will blow it.

I do not have any experience with Kaiser. In my experience with plenty of interviews I can tell you that if a place is really interested in you they will be quick to act and usually call you for an interview within a short period of time.

If they are dragging everything out it can be because the place is big - I had a job once where it took from interview to actual start more than 2 months because it was that slow! Or they drag it out because the position is already filled and they just keep you "waiting" in case they have a need to interview more. If they are not interested, most companies are up front about it and tell people per email or on their online portal (if you can see an update).

If you are in need of a job it is probably best to keep on looking around just in case.

the recruiter never told me that they are not interested.the last thing he said is "HANG IN THERE".

actually i have 2 full time jobs.planning to quit the other just in case i got hired at kaiser because of the benefits which the other place doesnt offer.

Respectfully disagree.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
