Applying for Jobs
Do I need to apply for each position I'm interested in?
Yes, you will need to apply to each individual position. The good news is that the system will remember some information between applications, making it quicker and easier to complete each one.
Do I need to create a profile to apply?
Yes. Creating an applicant profile allows you to apply for positions, track your application status, and receive updates throughout the hiring process. Ensure your contact information is current, consistent and up to date.
What documents are required (resume, cover letter, portfolio)?
A resume is typically required. Additional documents, such as a cover letter, portfolio, CV, licenses, certifications, or transcripts, may be requested depending on the position.
Do I need professional references during the application process?
Professional references are not required when submitting your application. If references are needed for a position, a Talent Advisor will contact you and provide instructions on when and how to submit them. We recommend having professional references available should you advance in the recruitment process.
Can I update my application and/or resume after I have submitted it?
If you have already applied for a specific position, you cannot make any additional changes. We encourage you to ensure all information is accurate and up to date before submitting.
I meet most, but not all, of the job qualifications/requirements listed in the job posting. Should I still apply for the position?
Meeting preferred qualifications may strengthen your application, but you must meet the minimum required qualifications to be considered for the role. If you do not meet the minimum requirements, we encourage you to explore other opportunities that may better align with your skills and experience.
What if I forget my username and password?
You will no longer need to worry about forgetting a password! When prompted to sign on, you will be sent a code (two-factor authenticate) to the email or phone number you created for your account. That code will serve as your log-in "password".
Application Status
How can I verify that you have received my application and resume?
After every submission, you will receive either a text or email (depending on your preferred method of communication) that your application was successfully completed. On your profile main page, you will see a "My Applications" tab. You can click on that to view all of your submitted applications along with the supporting documents you have attached.
How can I check the status of my application/submission?
On your profile main page, you will see the jobs that you applied to along with the status of your submission.
Once I apply, how long does the process take? When will I be contacted?
If your application is selected for further consideration, you will typically be contacted either by phone or email. The average time frame varies for every role. Cedars-Sinai receives an extremely large number of qualified job applicants for many of our openings. Since it's competitive, unfortunately, we cannot contact each applicant. You should expect to receive an initial automatic reply to confirm that your application has been successfully submitted in our system.
I applied weeks ago but haven't heard anything from Human Resources or the hiring department. What should I do?
Due to the high volume of applications we receive, review times may vary. You can log in to your candidate profile at any time to check the status of your application. We appreciate your patience and interest in joining our team.
Interviewing & Hiring Process
What should I expect during the interview process?
The interview process may vary depending on the position. Candidates may participate in phone screenings, virtual interviews, in-person interviews, or panel interviews. If selected to move forward, a Talent Advisor or staff member will provide details about the next steps and help you prepare for the interview process.
Am I allowed to record or use AI during the interview process?
At Cedars-Sinai, we embrace innovation, yet we also value authenticity and personal communication. We want to get to know the real you during the interview process - your experiences, your problem-solving abilities, and your communication style. While we understand AI tools can be helpful for preparation, we ask that you do not use them to generate answers during your interview. For the privacy of all participants and the confidentiality of the discussion, this meeting is not to be recorded. Cedars-Sinai does not consent to recording of interviews and we ask for your cooperation with this policy.
Why was I rejected?
Hiring decisions are based on a variety of factors, including qualifications, experience, and role-specific requirements. While we may not be able to provide individual feedback, we encourage you to apply for future opportunities that match your skills and experience.
If I'm not selected for a position, how will I be notified?
Candidates who are no longer being considered for a position will receive an email notification. You can also log in to your profile at any time to view the status of your application under “My Application”.
Will I be notified if I am no longer considered for a position?
Applicants can monitor the status of their applications by logging into their profile on the Careers site. If you are no longer considered for a position, your application status will be updated accordingly. You will also receive a text or email notification (based on your preferred method of communication) informing you of the decision.
Can I reapply for a new position if I am not selected?
Yes. If you are not selected for a position, you are welcome to apply for other opportunities that match your qualifications and interests. You may also reapply for a previously posted position if it is reposted and your experience or qualifications have changed since your last application.
Pre-Employment Requirements
Are background checks and drug screening performed for all new employees? What else is required?
As part of our hiring process, pre-employment requirements may include a background check and verification, drug screening, medical examination and other applicable verifications. Requirements can vary based on the position. Candidates who receive a job offer will be informed of any required pre-employment screenings and provided with instructions regarding next steps.
What vaccinations and immunizations are needed to be hired?
At Cedars-Sinai, we are dedicated to the safety, health and wellbeing of our patients and employees. This includes protecting our patients from communicable diseases, such as influenza (flu). For this reason, we require that all new employees receive a flu vaccine based on the seasonal availability of flu vaccine (typically during September through April each year) as a condition of employment, and annually thereafter as a condition of continued employment, subject to medical exemption or religious accommodation. For the same reason, you may also be required to receive other vaccines as a condition of employment. Cedars-Sinai reserves the right to make modifications to its required list of vaccines as required by law and/or policy.
Does Cedars-Sinai provide U.S. Immigration VISAs?
Cedars-Sinai may provide U.S. immigration sponsorship to candidates who meet the requirements.
Internal Candidates (Employees Only)
I am a current Cedars-Sinai employee. How do I apply for a transfer?
For internal career opportunities (including transfers and promotions) we ask you to log onto our "Opportunity Marketplace" tile in the CS-Unify Oracle app under My Portal. Opportunity Marketplace will house all of our positions including those that are not posted on our careers site for the external population.
Can I still apply on the Cedars-Sinai external Careers site even if I am an employee?
Although possible, we strongly encourage you to apply using the "Opportunity Marketplace" located in your Oracle account to ensure that your application is received and appropriately reviewed as an internal employee.
How long do I need to work in my current position before I am eligible for a transfer?
An employee must have completed at least six (6) months service in their current department, successfully passed probation, and be in active status to be eligible for a transfer.
I am currently a Cedars-Sinai employee on leave. Can I apply for a position while I'm on leave of absence?
Employees who are currently on leave of absence are not eligible to apply for open positions. To be considered for an internal opportunity, you must be in active status at the time you submit your application. If you are currently on leave, you may apply for positions once you have returned to active status.
Job Seeker Guidance
What can I do to prevent Cedars-Sinai emails from going to my spam/junk folder?
The exact steps to adjust spam settings depend on your email provider, but you’ll need to check your spam folder and mark the message or the sender as not spam. This helps ensure future emails are delivered to your inbox.
How can I ensure an email is coming from Cedars-Sinai and not scam?
Cedars-Sinai will never contact you from a Hotmail, Gmail or Yahoo! Account. We will only use official Cedars‑Sinai email addresses; generally, our accounts end in cshs.org, csmc.edu, or csmns.org.
What are leadership expectations of executives?
Our leaders are expected to drive operational excellence, support high-quality patient care, develop high-performing teams, and advance Cedars-Sinai’s mission, values, and strategic goals.
How much do leadership roles pay?
Compensation varies by position, experience, qualifications, and scope of responsibility.
