Frequently Asked Questions

Jobseekers

How does the application process work?
If you see a position you are interested in, simply apply to the opening by submitting your resume and contact information. You will receive a confirmation from ARRA if your application was received successfully. Your application will be sent to the appropriate recruiter who will reach out if you meet the job requirements.
Do I pay ARRA?
Our services are complimentary for Job Seekers.
Can I be honest about my salary expectations?
Yes, please. Our recruiters are advocating for you, and it’s in their best interest to get you the best compensation package possible. The process works best when candidates are honest with recruiters about what they’re looking for in terms of salary and job expectations.
Can I be candid about why I want to leave my job?
You can trust your recruiter and have open and honest conversation. It will help us to know what you like and don’t like about your current role to help match you with the right opportunity.
Will your team follow up after I start my new job?
Absolutely! We will follow up with you before starting, after you start your position and 90 days after your start date. We strive to form long-lasting relationships with our candidates and want to keep in touch.
Do I work for you or the hospital?
ARRA contracts with healthcare and hospitals across the United States to provide search and placement consulting services. If you are hired, you will be an employee of the hospital, not ARRA.
Why do I need a representative or recruiter to apply directly to a hospital opportunity?
You don’t need a recruiter to apply directly to a job at a hospital and quite frankly, we can understand why some healthcare employees have reservations about working with a recruiter based on negative experiences in the past or anecdotal co-worker stories. We can’t speak for other firms but here’s what we promise; Integrity, Honest Relationships and Results.

Here are some other key advantages in working with the ARRA Group that often get overlooked in the job search process:

Time: Your time is precious and managing emails, calls and scheduling interviews can be time consuming.  ARRA will coordinate all your interviews and respond to any of your questions with the utmost priority.
Knowledge: You will know more about your job search working with an ARRA recruiter.  We know our clients, their culture, goals and challenges.  We provide our job seekers with in depth details of each job they are interested in, beyond the standard job description.  Knowledge is power and we arm you with it.  
Coaching: Your recruiter will make sure you have a standout resume and will suggest edits, if applicable. As you navigate through interviews, your recruiter will take the time to prep you before each type of interview and provide you with ARRA’s Interview Guide filled with the latest interview techniques such as STAR Method, Behavioral Based Interviewing, Dress Attire and much more.
Negotiations: Salary, bonuses, relocation packages, these can be tricky areas to navigate in pursuing an opportunity. Our experienced recruiters will work to put together the best package possible for you.
More opportunity: The ARRA Group often has access to confidential job openings that aren’t publicly posted

Do you vet or screen candidates first?
This is where we really shine.

Our client retention is over 90% because we provide results, not promises.

Do you handle employer background checks?
A majority of our clients have stringent requirements and validation protocols regarding healthcare background checks and so, they choose to manage this internally. We are not currently offering this as a part of our hiring services outside of our exclusive and tailored ARRA Engage agreements.
Do you offer any loyalty programs?
Yes! ARRAengage offers exclusive partnerships and discounted rates for partners. Programs are, as always, tailored to your organization’s needs. Contact us to discuss building a custom program for your hiring goals.
