What is the hiring process like at HCA Healthcare?

HCA is everywhere in the country

electronic system is outdated hiring process was informal, distant and remote.

Good benefits Easy hiring process

I didn't stay long. Within the first week, I knew I had to work hard to get out as fast as possible. I had a boss but I was controlled by everyone except my boss. The reporting structure is a joke. It's based on who kisses the *bleep* of the VP the most. People are seriously limited on what they can and cannot say. Onboarding is horrific. After a month, I still didn't have access to systems, cell phone, etc that was needed to do my job. It's ego. Not service here. I do not recommend. I watched other staff run themselves into the ground traveling all over the country. It was hard to watch as there is absolutely no work/life balance. If a boundary is stated on need for work/life balance, you are looked down upon.

Nice location Fast hiring process

Culture needs improvement No WFH

Experience but mostly not much else.

Very understaffed, patient ratio is not what was said during. The hiring process.

supportive team, great management, smooth hiring process.

A downside at HCA Healthcare includes work schedule flexibility.

Many open positions and easy hiring process

Hca takes short cuts and cost saving opps every opportunity it gets

Healthcare is a good profession.

Dear Hiring Manager, Thank you for your response regarding my application. While I appreciate the closure, I must say the explanation—that my compensation expectations “could not be met”—is a curious one, given that no salary range was provided in the job posting. In the absence of transparency and clear parameters, candidates are left to make informed estimates based on market data, experience, and professional judgment. I did so in good faith. If the number I provided was outside your budget, that’s understandable. What’s less understandable is expecting applicants to blindly guess what you’re willing to pay, only to be dismissed for guessing wrong. That’s not a negotiation—it’s a trap. Declining a candidate based solely on a number, without any attempt at dialogue or clarification, suggests a hiring process that values ambiguity over transparency. That’s unfortunate—not just for applicants, but for any organization hoping to attract qualified professionals who know their worth. It’s especially disappointing when companies expect professionalism and flexibility from applicants but do not extend the same courtesy in return. Shame on you. I hope future candidates are given the courtesy of clarity. It saves time, respects professionalism, and avoids the impression that your hiring process is more about fishing for undervalued talent than finding the right fit.

it seems they are constantly hiring/recruiting. their career webiste constantly lists jobs for nurses, they make it sound there is an urgent need for specialized, experienced nurses

absolutely unresponsive HR, I don't even know if there are human beings running HR, or read applications, or handle recruitment. Something is very broken with their hiring process
