Interviewing and Hiring Process

What do I do after I submit my profile?
Be patient. After receiving your resume, we will review your qualifications to see if they match any open positions. If they do, an HR Representative will contact you to discuss next steps. If we do not have a current opening matching your qualifications, we will retain your resume according to state guidelines. We encourage you to re-apply if you are interested in other opportunities as well.

What are the steps in the hiring process?
If we determine that you meet the qualifications of a current opening, a member of our Human Resources Team will contact you to schedule a time to discuss your background, experience, interest and the current opening. After the initial conversation, if you are selected to proceed in the process, we will schedule you for interviews with other individuals related to this position. Our goal is to make the interview process as convenient and as informative for you as possible. (Reference checks, drug screens, and background checks will be conducted upon offer of employment; where applicable state laws apply, this process may vary slightly.)

How often should I return to update my profile?
You should update your profile as often as necessary to keep it current. Our recommendation is to update your profile anytime a major piece of data changes such as a new name, address, phone or e-mail change, change in jobs, completion of degree, certifications or training, or new major accomplishments.

Should I follow up?
Due to the high volume of resumes received daily, Terumo staff can confirm that your resume is on file, but cannot provide information on where your resume is within the hiring process. Please keep in mind that our sites handle many open positions with hundreds of applicants. While it is virtually impossible to receive calls from and call back every applicant, we do attempt to provide you the feedback through your profile and e-mail.

Will I be contacted by Terumo?
If you have the qualifications and are deemed a good fit for a specific opportunity, you will be contacted to arrange a brief phone conversation to further qualify skills and experience. If there continues to be a good match in skill-set and experience, you may be invited to participate in a formal interview.

What should I keep in mind when preparing for an interview?
Be prepared to give the interviewers strong examples of your work experiences. You should be as specific as possible and tell us what happened, what you did and what the outcome was. It is important for you to get to know Terumo by reviewing materials available on this website. Be yourself during the interview. At the end of each interview, ask for a business card so you can write a thank-you note. Use the thank-you note to confirm your interest in the organization and in the position, reiterating points that were discussed during the interview.
