What is the hiring process like at UT Southwestern Medical Center?

They have benefits and pension, and were pretty lenient on clock-in and clock-out times

They did not give much PTO, and the internal transfer process is very difficult. The hiring process is also difficult

easy hiring process, not a hard job

theres a lot of call ins

Great team culture and collaboration.

Lengthy recruitment process before hire.

I was hired as a temporary employee to support staffing efforts for the new psychiatric hospital scheduled to open on June 30th. During a three-month period, I successfully recruited and hired 36 Registered Nurses and 21 Mental Health Technicians to support the hospital’s opening. Throughout my assignment, I worked diligently under tight timelines and was consistently given positive feedback from leadership, including being told by my supervisor and the Interim Chief Officer that I was doing an outstanding job and would be receiving a permanent offer by May 1st. I also supported two onsite Saturday interview events to help accelerate hiring efforts. On April 8th, I was unexpectedly informed by phone that I would not be offered a permanent position. During that call, I received feedback that I “get overwhelmed” and lacked “critical thinking skills,” which was very surprising given that I had never received any prior performance concerns, coaching, or formal corrective actions during my assignment. I was also informed I would receive an exit interview; however, that process was never provided. In addition, I was told I would receive a payout for accrued PTO, which later proved to be incorrect. Due to my experience with UT Southwestern Medical Center and HR throughout the conclusion of my assignment, I found the overall process to be disappointing. Based on my experience, I would not recommend working here. I take pride in the results I delivered and the effort I put into supporting the organization during a critical staffing period.

Hire new grads with no experience

rotate to different areas within the department every couple of months

can change positions after 6 months, part of teacher's pension plan, lots of entry level positions, free health insurance for self

It's hard to get promoted without transferring to another department, new managers hired mostly from outside, each department works in a silo, insurance for family members is expensive

Great benefits, a lot of departments have hybrid work schedules.

Very easy to shuffle problem people around from department to department.
