Q: How long will the hiring paperwork take?
A: The government credentialing and hiring process can be lengthy and paperwork intensive. This process can be as short as a week or take more than a month, however, our experienced Credentialing Department is always available to answer questions and guide you through it to ensure that you are able to begin work as soon as possible. Paperwork submitted for a government opportunity is good for one year, so applying for another opportunity in a couple of months will not be as exhaustive.

Q: Why are two criminal background checks required?
A: As a Joint Commission Certified organization, we conduct criminal background checks for every applicant and government institutions conduct an exhaustive criminal background check, as well.
