I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at UnitedHealth Group (Tampa, FL) in May 2011
Interview
I've interviewed with United Healthcare since 2008 and more than qualified for their positions. They have repeatedly tested and interviewed me and that is never a problem and I have completed their assessments many times.
They seem nice in the interviews but at some point in the phone interview they ask a seemingly harmless question and repeat your answer back promting you to restate your answer as if they do not beleive you. If there is any discrepency in my history im sure it can easily be expalined but what ever the problem is they are not telling, I even have documents from my previous employer confirming my employment dates yet the interviewer seemed like she was not buying it. So its not really like im being interviewed but rather like being ruled out. By the time I get home there is a e-mail waiting for me-
"I want to thank you for taking the time to talk with me regarding the position of Provider Phone Representative - Tampa, FL, 351239 with UnitedHealth Group.
Although your skills and qualifications are impressive, we have identified other candidates whose experience more closely fit the specifications of the position."
This is a odd response seeing as how I have exactly what they would be look for. During one interview I was told said because of my experience if hired they would have to pay me the max rate of pay. She kind of choked up when she said it as if she let it out by accident. But all the other interviewers said I would have to start at the minimum rate of pay and asked if I agreed to that which is not a problem. I think that is why they shy away from more experienced workers because the pay per hour is determined by education and experience so they save a few bucks on less exerienced workers.
I interviewed with another recruiter that seemed like a nice fellow but I definately felt like he was being passive aggressive. He had me wait for him for 45 min while was saying "just a minute" over and over like a odd psychological game. During the interview he asked why i was leaving my current job I said i was suspected layoffs were coming he kind of made a face as if once again they did not beleive me. Months later after I was laid off and applying with UHC again he did not interview me but another said he asked her to interview me.
be on guard, best of luck :)
