Helping our new hires get ready for their Northwell career journey

At Northwell Health, we strive to provide the best experience for our incoming team members to ensure they are fully prepared to start and experience a career well cared for.

Our pre-boarding and onboarding teams in the Talent Acquisition Department support our new hires from the moment they accept a job offer through their first day. They aim to provide a smooth transition from candidate to team member with guidance along the way.

Steps these teams help our future team members complete include:

• Health and pre-hire appointments for medical clearance and required onboarding paperwork
• A visit to security and human resources for certain requirements and an ID badge, as well as other verification processes
• Preparing for our Beginnings orientation to help our newest team members be set up for success in their new career with us.

There is a great deal of coordination to ensure everyone is ready to begin in their new role at the right time.
