Hiring Process

Protect Yourself from Recruitment Scams ⚠️

Your trust matters to Houston Methodist. Scammers sometimes pose as recruiters to offer fake jobs and collect personal information or money. Here’s how to recognize legitimate communication from us:

  • Our official email addresses always end with @houstonmethodist.org
  • We never ask for gift cards or money during the application or hiring process.
  • We never request sensitive information through social media or messaging apps.
  • Houston Methodist jobs are posted on houstonmethodistcareers.org/jobs and applications are only accepted through this site or our secure applicant tracking system. All legitimate communication will direct you back to these official channels.
  • Job offers only follow a completed application and an interview with a Houston Methodist employee.

If you suspect fraudulent activity, block and report the person on the platform where it occurred. You may also report it to local law enforcement. Learn more about job scams at https://www.ftc.gov.

Your Path to Joining Houston Methodist

Choosing where to work is an important decision. At Houston Methodist, we look for individuals who embrace our ICARE values: integrity, compassion, accountability, respect and excellence. We also seek those who share our commitment to professional growth and exceptional patient care. Below is an overview of our hiring process to help you know what to expect as you take the next step in your career.

  1. APPLY

    Search and apply for jobs that match your experience, interests and skills. If you meet the basic qualifications, you will receive an email to complete a pre-hire assessment survey. To check the status of your application, click Returning Job Seekers on the homepage of the career website.

    Current employees may search and apply for jobs on our internal career site.

  2. INTERVIEW

    This phase may include initial screening and secondary interviews over the phone, in person or via online meetings. Be prepared to review your certifications, education, licensure and work history.

  3. OFFER/ACCEPTANCE

    If you are chosen for a position, your recruiter will reach out to you with offer details.

  4. SCREENING

    To uphold our commitment to a healthy and safe workplace, this phase includes a background check and a post-offer physical. Candidates will be screened for drug and tobacco use, including nicotine gum and patches. If a candidate tests positive for nicotine, the job offer will be rescinded. However, individuals can participate in a free Houston Methodist tobacco cessation program and reapply 90 days after the rescinded offer.

    All Houston Methodist employees are also required during flu season to receive the annual flu vaccine or obtain an appropriate exemption from Houston Methodist. Please note that Houston Methodist will make its own determination on an exemption request and it is not subject to a decision of another employer.
