I just had a telephone interview with a recruiter at Swedish and considering it's great reputation I have to say that was the most difficult unwelcoming experience I have ever had. I heard they were good to their nurses being a Magnet hospital but nothing in that interview would compel me to Swedish. Has anyone else had an experience with interviews with Swedish.
I was surprised to be speaking to a recruiter. All my other interviews after passing through HR were with Managers of the Units?

I had a bad experience with the telephone interview with the recruiter from Swedish. I thought for sure that I would never hear back from them, but sure enough they called me back to schedule an in person interview with the manager. I got the job so it all turned out ok in the end.

I am moving to Seattle next week. Well, we are going to live in Issaquah and I am going to work at Evergreen for now as a traveler. I decided to go as a traveler until I sell my house in AZ. Anyways, I wanted to work at a larger hospital in Seattle. My recruiter called and gave me the call in number at Swedish. She told me to call and set up an interview. The lady was the rudest person EVER and acted like I should have never called her directly. HELLO!!! She is the one who gave out the number to call!!!
Another traveler here also had an interview with her and had the same experience.
Apparently they have issues in that dept.

I am so sorry to hear you had such a terrible experience with a recruiter at Swedish! I know the recruiters there quite well - please email me and I will talk to the recruiter and help them understand how put off you are with the experience! I am 100% sure the recruiter there would want to make it right.
