Pre-Hire Assessments

For some positions, Kaiser Permanente conducts online pre-hire assessments to evaluate a combination of aptitude, behavioral competencies, skills (e.g., typing, data entry), and knowledge of candidates. We will contact you if a pre-hire assessment is required for the job you expressed interest in. Click here for more information on assessments.

Candidate Review and Interview

If your skills and experience appear to align with those of the position, a Talent Acquisition Professional may contact you for additional screening. This may lead to further interview(s) conducted by phone, in-person, and/or video. Due to the high volume of submissions we receive, we cannot contact each person who submits a resume for consideration.

Identifying the right people for the right roles can take time, so thank you in advance for your patience.

Candidate Selection

Once you’ve been selected for a position, your phone will ring and our Talent Acquisition Professional will make you a verbal offer. (Insert fist-pump here!) This conversation will be followed by a written offer letter.

Once you’ve accepted the offer letter and passed applicable pre-employment screenings and verifications — including drug and background checks — your start date will be confirmed and you’ll be part of our Kaiser Permanente family!
