Hey All, If you've interviewed at two hospitals, I've heard that an offer at one hospital can push HR at the other to speed up the process of hiring you, or make them more inclined to want you. Of course, you'd have to make them aware of this little tidbit. In other words, if you just interviewed at hospital #2 and tell them that you have an offer at hospital #1 and you need to know if they want to hire you soon so you can tell hospital #1 "no," hospital #2 is more likely to speed things up and let you know quickly. What about having an interview at another hospital. In other words, if you've already interviewed at one hospital and really want the job, but they're stalling a bit, would it be okay to tell them that you have another interview coming up and would really like them to make an offer so you can cancel the upcoming interview? Anyone ever heard of doing this and whether or not it's effective? And, just for the record, I'm not talking about lying to them. I'm talking about if you actually do have another interview coming up. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. Once HR has approval to make a job offer, do they make the call to the candidate the same day or can it take some time?

Hey All, I'm applying for jobs and wondering what HR searches for when they consider you for a job in the time from the interview to the actual job offer. Criminal checks? Background checks? What information do they obtain from your school? Just the transcript or do they search for you on your school's directory also? Thanks.
