If you choose to go through the job matching process, you will be asked to create a profile using your resume and to choose a location. The website will then direct you to positions fitting the criteria you have entered.

Please note that full COVID-19 vaccination may be a condition of employment depending on the role and location of the job. If you have concerns, please discuss this with a member of the internal recruitment team.

Interview: If your skills seem to be a match for the role, you will be contacted to set up a phone interview with the corporate office.

During the phone interview, you will discuss the role in greater detail and get to ask any questions you have regarding the role and/or the company. If you are still interested and the recruitment team feels that you are a good fit, you will move on to the in-person interview.

The in-person interview is usually with the hiring manager and at least one team member who is currently working in the role you have applied for or who is at a similar level. This interview tends to involve a lot of scenario-based questions in order to gauge your personality and experiences in past roles.

Typical interview questions include:

• What would you consider to be your strengths?

• What is a pet peeve of yours in the workplace?

• What qualities are you looking for in your next position?

• How would your last employer describe you?

• Tell me about a time when you had to handle a difficult situation. How did you handle or overcome it?

Offer and Onboarding: If you are selected for the role, a member of the internal recruitment team will contact you to review the offer letter details, benefits, and more information on your new career at Heartland Dental.

Once you have accepted an offer, you will be asked to complete forms and start the pre-onboarding process. You will also be required to submit a drug test and background check. The internal recruitment team member will provide you with more detailed information on how to complete these steps.
