How do I apply for a Sutter Health position?

Your application begins when you create a profile for yourself similar to a resume, that contains all of your relevant personal, work and education information, what you are looking for in a position, and general questions we ask all applicants. Once your profile has been created, you can link it to any open position by clicking the Apply Online button.

You will be asked a series of pre-screening questions and be led through your profile (education, work experience, interest, etc.) giving you the opportunity to make any final corrections. At the end of the online employment process your application will be submitted and reviewed by our Human Resources staff.

It generally takes from 10 to 20 minutes to create a profile and apply for a position using the online application process.

Should I e-mail, fax or mail you a copy of my resume and cover letter, even if I have applied online?

No, you don't need to. Once you have submitted an online application, you do not need to contact Sutter Health to provide additional information unless you are specifically requested to do so. All the information required to consider your application is contained in your profile and the online application itself.

When does a Human Resources professional receive my application?

Your application is saved each time you click Continue and proceed to the next page/section. If by chance your connection is disrupted while you are in the process of applying, the data you have already entered will be saved. When you have completed the application, you will receive a congratulatory message telling you that your application has been completed. At this point, your application is forwarded to the recruiter.

Can Sutter Health notify me of future open positions, as they become available?

As you progress through the online application, you will be asked if you would like Sutter Health to notify you of recently posted positions. By checking the box, you provide Sutter Health with permission to notify you every time a position is posted that meets the requirements you described in your application.

Why does Sutter Health use an online application?

As a service to our communities, it is important to make our open positions available to anyone who is seeking employment. We value customer service, speed in processing the application, and selection of the most qualified candidate. Online technology permits Sutter Health to communicate directly with candidates and respond to their questions/needs quickly. We can also automatically match candidates to the requirements of the position and forward the candidate application to hiring managers in minutes.

What happens to my application once a position I've applied for is filled?

Candidate information is stored in our employment database so we can meet future employment needs across our network of healthcare organizations. Once a position is filled, the candidates who are not chosen for the position are automatically released into our database. A Sutter Health recruiter can run searches, looking for specific skill sets. If your skills match those the Sutter Health recruiter is searching for, they will have the opportunity to view your application.

What about the confidentiality of my application information?

Your information is private and is not shared with anyone outside Sutter Health and its affiliate organizations. It is only used for employment purposes.
