Got a call from corporate for a phone interview about a week after I submitted my application online. They let me know the base salary was "about 40 k per year" and that the hours were 8-5 M-F. The phone interview went well. I was called the next week to set up a time to come in for a 1:1 interview with the Account Manager. Met with him, he was a pretty nice guy. He let me know the hours were really 8-6 M-F, and that "sometimes we are required to stay after 6." I set up a time to come in the following week and do a "pit sit". I was very nervous for this, because it required me to go in and sit with the other recruiters for a few hours. I first walked in and wasn't sure what to expect, but the recruiters came right up to me and introduced themselves. They were both friendly and very open to me asking questions. They had me answer phones and actually do some cold calling to try and get some RN's to come in for some possible job opportunities. I've never done anything like this, so it was nerve wracking having everyone in the office stop doing what they were doing and listen to me try to "make a sale" by getting RN's to come in and work for Maxim. Even the AM had his door open and was obviously listening to see if I was going to stumble. I did well, but it was nerve wracking. At some point, I asked one recruiter to tell me more about the "on call" process, which I was the most hesitant about. He told me it would be split up between him and myself, and that in all honesty, it could be rough. Basically, the on call system would be split so as one recruiter would have it M-Th, and the next recruiter would take it Fri-Sun, and then swap the next week (so essentially I would have it for a full week straight, as would he). I asked him if he really got calls at night, and he told me he frequently received calls at midnight from nurses calling out, and he would spend a significant amount of time trying to fix the schedule. He said that if you are on call over the weekend, you get a cell phone and at 6pm Friday the office lines are all directed to the cell, and you must take it with you wherever you go. You cannot go to places where you will not get service (aka the beach or the movies). He said the average weekend on call would be anywhere from 5-15 calls, but it changed every time. You can get calls for all sorts of reasons. Anyway, the pit sit ended after about 3.5 hours, and I received a call a few days later from the AM offering me the job. I had another offer the same week from a different company in a completely unrelated field, and I just felt the other job was a better fit for my life and schedule.
