Hiring Process

1. Applicants should submit completed RSI application for employment to the Recruiting Coordinator.

2. Initial review of applications by RSI will then take place. Applicants the company may be interested in hiring will be contacted by the Recruiting Coordinator. A telephone screening interview will then generally occur with these applicants. If RSI is interested in potentially hiring the applicant, an interview will be scheduled. Applicants the company is not interested in hiring will be sent a letter or e-mail indicating this.

3. Applicants the company may be interested in hiring will then generally be scheduled for a visit to one of our locations. The purpose of this visit is two-fold: it allows the applicant an opportunity to get a first hand, realistic job preview, and it allows the residents and staff of the location to make an evaluation of the applicant.

4. After this visit, applicants should contact the RSI Personnel Director within 24 hours to indicate whether they are interested.

5. Some positions, generally supervisory or purely clinical ones, may require a second interview.

6. RSI will then contact applicants via e-mail or letter to let them know the status of their application.

7. Applicants the company may be interested in hiring will then be scheduled to complete the Pre-Employment Packet, which contains forms and reading materials required for completion before beginning employment. All staff must have three references—two of these must be work (i.e., a supervisor) or school (i.e., a professor or teacher, or a college degree or proof of current college enrollment), a drug test, and a criminal record check. The applicant should bring reference letters to the Pre-Employment Packet meeting; the drug test and criminal record check will be conducted through RSI. Staff working directly with residents must also have a TB test, also conducted through RSI. The Pre-Employment Packet must be completed and returned within two weeks from its issuance. The sooner a new employee completes the process, the sooner the new employee could potentially start training!

8. Once the Pre-Employment Packet is completed and returned, new employees can then be scheduled for their on-the-job training and the required training classes for their respective positions.
