Prepare for your interview

We use our Core Values every day. They are crucial to discussing ideas for new ways and to deciding the best ways to solve problems. They're just one of the things that makes us peculiar. All candidates are evaluated based on these core values. The best way to prepare for your interview is to consider how you've applied them in your past.

Passion

Passion is what helps us build our drive to achieve our goals and to keep going even when the going gets tough. We have an excitement for serving others and helping others grow within themselves to be better and further ahead than they ever thought they could be before. Passion is what motivates our team to achieve the greatest success and results by ensuring that they put their best foot forward in being the greatest of themselves.

Leadership

We are creating our next generation of leaders one day at a time. We are striving to build and grow effective leaders to commit to serving for a greater good. Teaching, demonstrating, and modeling servant leadership is how Alliance With Clients Corporation aims to create an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive as their authentic and unique self.

Care

We care about people we impact, regardless of how well we know them. The satisfaction of knowing you have helped someone who needs your assistance and that you have done the best you could to improve their livelihood is what Alliance With Clients Corporation strives to achieve with the people who work alongside us to improve the communities we serve.

Diversity

Alliance With Clients Corporation encourages and promotes diversity. Our staff shows that we all have a common goal and that is to help improve the communities that we live in or serve regardless of our race, gender, age, abilities/disabilities, education, etc. Diversity helps to bring psychological safety and help bring people together to escape from feeling that they have to hide their true selves.

Earn Trust

Earning trust leads to building stronger connections with the people we serve in our communities. Earning trust can help others feel safe and part of a group, which helps to prevent conflict and strengthen our relationships with one another. Breaking down barriers and walls while building bridges helps to reduce loneliness and build a stronger sense of one's abilities. We continue to earn trust through our partnerships within the communities we serve and the people we provide our services to.

Accountability

We hold our employees accountable from the moment they apply to our company. Throughout the interview process and throughout their employment with Alliance With Clients Corporation, we hold ourselves accountable to be able to deliver results, exceed expectations, and to create success within the company.

Our interviews are rooted in behavioral-based questions. We'll ask about past situations or challenges you've faced, using our principles to guide our discussion. We avoid brain teasers (for example, "How many windows are in Wisconsin?". We've found this approach is unreliable when it comes to predicting success.

Here are some examples of questions:

• Tell me about a time when you were faced with a problem that had a number of possible solutions. What was the problem and how did you decide what to do? what was the outcome?

• When did you take a risk, make a mistake, or fail? How did you respond? How did you grow from it?

• Describe a time you took lead on a project?

• What did you do when you needed to motivate a group or promote collaboration on a project?

• How have you used data to develop a strategy?

Keep in mind that we are passion driven. Ensure your answers are well-constructed. Provide examples that shows your passion for healthcare. Reference recent situations when possible.

• Practice using the STAR method. Frame your examples in relation to the Core values.

• Ensure each answer has a beginning, middle, and end. Describe the situation or problem, the actions you took, and the outcome.

• Prepare shore descriptions of a handful of situations. Be ready to answer follow-up questions in greater detail. Select examples that highlight your unique skills.

• Have examples that showcase your experience and how you've taken risks, succeeded, failed, and grown.

• Specifics are key. Avoid generalizations. Give a detailed account of one situation for each question you answer. Use data or metrics to support your example.

• Be forthcoming. Don't embellish or omit parts of the story.

• Be prepared to explain what interests you about the role and the team (or teams) you’ll be meeting with.

• Be concise but detailed in your answers. We know it’s hard to gauge how much info is too much versus not enough. A good test is to pause after your answer to ask if you’ve given enough detail or if the interviewer would like you to go into more depth.

• If you’re asked a question but aren't given enough info to provide a solid answer, don’t be shy about asking for clarification. If additional context isn't available, focus on how you'd attempt to solve the problem based on limited information.

• We try to leave a few minutes at the end of each interview to answer your questions. If we don’t get to all of them, don’t hesitate to ask your point of contact.

• Check in: Arrive 15 minutes early and check in for your interview. Have your government-issued photo ID ready (for example, your driver’s license or passport).

• Location: You'll receive instructions via email. Let us know if you need an accommodation or have allergies.

• Dress code: Business professional or healthcare scrubs. While some roles in our company may require certain clothing for safety reasons (such as closed-toed shoes), in our office people wear business professional / casual to represent our company.

• What to expect: Interviews will be a mixture of questions and discussions about your experience. Be ready with detailed examples. Concise, structured answers are best.

• Interviewers: Depending on the role, you'll meet with two to three people. They'll likely be managers, team members, or executives. All interviewers will assess your potential for growth beyond the position you’re interviewing for. They'll evaluate how well your background and skills meet core competencies, along with how they relate to our Core Values. We recommend approaching each interviewer the same way, rather than tailoring answers to their role. Interviewers will often take notes on their laptops. It’s important that they have precise notes from their time with you to share with one another.

• Resume or CV: Interviewers will have a copy, but feel free to bring one as well.

• Duration: Each session usually lasts between 20 minutes and 40 minutes.

• Remote interviews: If you've been asked to do a remote interview, you'll likely need to download Microsoft Teams, our tool for video conferencing. The meeting ID will be emailed to you by your recruiting point of contact. For the best sound quality, use a headset with a microphone.

• Some teams use role-specific exercises or online assessments as part of the interview. You’ll be told if the job you’re interviewing for requires one of these.

• If you need an accommodation, or have questions or concerns, please get in touch. We ensure reasonable accommodations for everyone.

• After your interview, you should expect a brief survey via email. It’s important for us to know how we did so we can improve.

• Expect to hear back from us within five business days of your interview. If you don't, feel free to give us a nudge.
