I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Accessia Health
Interview
I went through what HR described as the “final stages” of hiring for this position. The process included an initial interview with the recruiter, two rounds with team members, and a final interview with the president. HR repeatedly suggested that once you meet with the president, it’s essentially a culture-fit conversation and that an offer is likely next.
Based on that, I nearly turned down another opportunity because I was led to believe I had the job. Even in the second interview, one of the executives asked, “How excited are you to be working here in the future?” which strongly implied a forthcoming offer. Days later, I was informed they were “moving forward with another candidate.”
The experience left me feeling misled and frustrated. Candidates deserve transparent communication and realistic expectations, not false hope.
In researching the organization, I also noticed that senior leadership compensation appears extremely high for a nonprofit of this size, and there are past Department of Justice settlements related to compliance issues. It’s worth reviewing their 990s and public disclosures before committing your time or energy here.

I applied online. I interviewed at Accessia Health (Midlothian, VA) in Nov 2024
Interview
I was invited to an interview via Zoom. It went well and the conversation was very positive and natural. I was told that the interviewer wanted me to interview a second time, this time with the person with who I would be working. I verified that she would contact me via email for the follow up interview before saying goodbye and hanging up. I followed up with a thank you email the next day. I never heard from her again, despite following up one more time, 4 days later. It was very discouraging after such a positive interview to not even be afforded the courtesy of a notification.
