Getting Started

Answer: The profile enables you to enter your information once and apply to many positions. You may keep your information and resume up to date and when a recruiter reads your resume, it will always use the current version. Creating a profile also allows us to find current and future jobs that may suit you.

Answer: The information in your account always remains confidential to Premier Physical Therapy & Wellness. It is only shared with members of our staffing department and with the manager who oversees the position(s) you have applied for. The information is used for us to keep in contact with you regarding your interest in our positions and to evaluate your skills and experience against the requirements for the positions you have expressed interest in.

Answer: Your resume is reviewed against the position’s qualifications. If it is determined that there is a match, a member of our staffing team will contact you to schedule a telephone or on-site interview.

Answer: After an initial screening of your resume by a member of our staffing team, qualified resumes are forwarded to the hiring manager for review. The manager requests interviews to be set up with those determined to be a good match. A series of interviews, including telephone and on-site, are conducted. Based on the results of these interviews, an offer for employment is extended to the most qualified applicant.

Answer: Create a profile with your information and resume. Then search for jobs and apply to positions you are qualified for and interested in.

Application Process

Answer: If we find a good match to Premier Physical Therapy & Wellness requirements and qualifications after you have submitted your resume, you will be contacted directly by a member of our staffing team. At that time, we will be more than happy to discuss your resume and job interests. While we would like to speak to everyone that has an interest at working at Premier, the volume of resumes does not allow us to perform this courtesy.

Answer: Yes. By creating a profile, your resume is in our database and available to our staffing specialists to search and review. They may find a future position that matches your qualifications and they will then contact you.

Answer: You can access and make changes to your password-protected account at any time. Our staffing team will see your most current information and resume at any time even for positions you applied to in the past.

Answer: We consider all qualified candidates, regardless of citizenship or visa status.

Answer: We don’t require you to complete the entire profile, but we strongly recommend you do so.

Answer: If your resume is sent via email, the chances of our staffing team finding a match for you are dramatically reduced. Therefore, we do not encourage you to email your resumes. Instead, please submit a profile. This way your resume will be available to many hiring managers and recruiters, instead of just the ones that have received your resume via email.

Answer: We consider all qualified candidates, regardless of citizenship. However, please recognize that in order to work for Premier Physical Therapy & Wellness, you will need to show proof of your legal right to work in the U.S. In addition, if you are a citizen of a country that is included on the U.S. list of restricted, sanctioned or embargoed countries, your employment will be contingent on you receiving authorization from the U.S. Government.

Interview and Selection Process

Answer: Scheduling: Given our large volume of interviews, candidates are often contacted via email to arrange the logistics of the interview. We do our best to accommodate your schedule. If you have any questions during this process, contact telephone numbers listed on all email correspondence. Feel free to give us a call.

Interview Process: Interviews at Premier Physical Therapy & Wellness are traditionally comprised of a phone interview, followed by one or two onsite interviews.

Onsite interview: Our onsite interview format is a series of individual 45-60 minute meetings with various members of the hiring team.

Interview format: Interviews styles vary from group to group and change significantly depending on the role you are seeking and the teams you are meeting with. The majority of interviewers aim to get a grasp of your technical skills while also asking questions to get to know who you are and how you communicate. In addition to technical questioning, some interviewers utilize behavioral interviewing methods. In this case, you should be prepared with some concrete examples that will illustrate situations when you have successfully solved problems or performed memorably.

Answer: Premier is all about innovative solutions. Have a few instances in mind of how you’ve solved particular problems in the workplace, whether they were service, or patient treatment-related.

As you’ve most likely already discovered, Premier Physical Therapy & Wellness has a comprehensive website with information about our culture, history and more. Take a few moments to review it; you’ll probably find some interesting facts that will make great conversation starters. We also suggest taking some time to research the department/clinic you’ll be interviewing with. This will help you to understand the specifics of the team and relay your experiences more relevantly.

In addition, prior to your interview it’s always a good idea to review the job description. Be prepared to talk at length about your resume and experience, as well as professional goals and desires.

Answer: We aim to get back to candidates within two weeks of an interview, and a reasonable expectation time line should be outlined during your on-site recruiter meeting. Feel free to reach out to your individual recruiter if you
have questions in the interim. All interviewed candidates are notified directly with an interview outcome regardless if they are selected or not.
