1. How do I apply for a position at Sedgwick CMS?
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.

Depending on your computer proficiency, it generally takes from 10 to 20 minutes to create a profile and apply for a position using the online application process.

2. May I apply for multiple positions at the same time?
Yes, we encourage you to apply for any position you feel you are qualified for. Once you have created a profile/application, your information is saved in the Sedgwick CMS employment database. Your information is recalled upon log in for any future applications and can be updated. We encourage you to update your profile whenever your information/work experience changes.

3. Should I e-mail, fax or mail you a copy of my resume and cover letter, even if I have applied online?
No. Once you have submitted an online application, you do not need to contact Sedgwick CMS 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.

∆

4. Will you contact me about the progress of my application?
When your application is received, you will be sent an acknowledgement via e-mail. If a hiring manager determines your skills match the needs of the position, you will be contacted for further screening and consideration. We recommend you use the same e-mail address each time you visit our career page.

5. Why don't you show pay ranges for all your positions?
Salaries are based on the depth and length of work experience, education, accomplishments, internal equity, and other evaluated skill sets for the position. The compensation package is sometimes quoted after confirmation of the above components.

8. 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.

Yes, with our new online application, human resource professionals can automatically e-mail recently posted positions to you. As you progress through the online application, you will be asked if you would like Sedgwick CMS to notify you of recently posted positions. By checking the box, you provide Sedgwick CMS with permission to notify you every time a position is posted that meets the requirements you described in your application.

12. Why does Sedgwick CMS 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 Sedgwick CMS 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.

∆

13. 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 Sedgwick CMS recruiter can run searches, looking for specific skill sets. If your skills match those the Sedgwick CMS recruiter is searching for, they will have the opportunity to view your application.

∆

14. What about the confidentiality of my application information?
Your information is private and is not shared with anyone outside Sedgwick CMS and its affiliate organizations. It is only used for employment purposes.
