How to apply 

Once you’ve found the position you can picture yourself in, fill out the online application. 

Make sure your resume matches the minimum qualifications on the job listing. Crafting a standout resume is key to telling your professional story and getting noticed. 

When a recruiter reviews your application, they should be able to clearly connect the job requirements to what’s presented on your résumé. Because we receive a high volume of candidates, our recruiters begin by assessing whether the résumé clearly demonstrates that the applicant meets the minimum requirements—whether related to education, experience, certifications, or licensure.

It’s also important to pay attention to the preferred qualifications listed in the job posting. Recruiters evaluate both the minimum and preferred requirements to identify the strongest matches for open positions.

For example, if you are applying for a supervisory role, make sure your resume clearly states your experience as a manager. You want to provide as much information as possible that is tailored to the job.

Find the right fit

Don’t apply for every job posted. Recruiters can see how many positions someone has applied to. It might send the wrong message if you have applied to dozens of positions. 

Our recruiters recommend looking for jobs that speak to you, where you can visualize yourself doing the work and being a part of the team. Do the homework and make sure that what you want and what is important to you are mirrored in the position you are applying for. 

Recruiters make sure the person hired for a position is the right fit for BlueCross and the job is the right fit for the person. 

Review your application

Before submitting your application, make sure everything is correct and accurate. Review your uploaded documents to make sure you have attached the correct files. 

If you want to stand out, follow tips from our recruiting team to get noticed. 

What happens after

After you’ve applied to the position, it is important to understand the hiring process. 

One of our dedicated recruiters will review your application. This means all job applications are reviewed by a real person, not a machine. 

Once your application has been viewed, you should get a message from a recruiter to let you know we have received your information. Applicants can also view the status of their applications in their accounts. 

Whether it's a personalized communication via email or a phone call from a recruiter, you should get notified throughout the process and be able to track how your candidacy is progressing by going into your account on Workday.

Potential employees should be prepared to go through several stages in the application process: 

• Recruiter screen — This is when the application is reviewed by a recruiter. This may involve a phone call or scheduled, virtual Teams meeting with a recruiter. 
• Manager review — In this stage, the hiring manager reviews your application. This stage might involve more than one interview. We do most of our interviews remotely via telephone. 
• Offer and background check — Once you have been selected for a position at BlueCross, you will have to go through the pre-employment screening process, which includes a background check and a drug screen.  

Most of the positions here require applicants to have two or three conversations before they move on to the offer process. 

Be prepared to engage in a two-way dialogue with recruiters and hiring management. Come with questions. Make sure the position and the team are the right fit for you. 

Anyone moving through the process should be open and eager to engage in meaningful dialogue, because we’re investing in you—and we hope you’ll invest in building a career with us.
