Frequently asked questions

How do I search for job openings?
Legacy Health has three external careers portals (all careers, nursing, or provider) on which you can browse our open positions and refer a friend to a specific job. When you sign in to a career portal you can create a profile, apply for open jobs, check your application status, and set up email alerts for jobs of interest to you.

If I used to work for Legacy, may I sign in using the "internal applicants" link?
No, former employees need to sign in using one of the external careers portals (all careersnursing, or provider).

I am receiving a message that my login access is restricted.
Are you a current Legacy employee?  If so, please be sure you are using one of the employee login buttons shown below.

I am receiving an error message when I try to save my profile. 

  • Are you attaching a resume, cover letter or other documentation to the profile?  If so, can you try creating your profile without adding any of those documents to see if it will let you save the profile information?  If the profile will save without the attachments, we can troubleshoot why it won’t let you upload the documents.
  • Are you copying any information and pasting it into the profile?  Sometimes a document will have special characters that causes the application system to error out.  Try manually entering the information and then saving the profile.  

I am receiving an error message when I try to upload a document to my candidate profile. Why is this happening?
The Legacy careers portal accepts the following document formats for upload: .pdf, .htm, .html, .jpg, .tif, .tiff.  If you are attempting to upload a document in other formats, including Microsoft Word, you may receive an error message. 

If I had a profile on the old recruiting system, did it copy over to the new system?
We need all candidates to create a new profile on the new system – we did not copy over information from the old system. Once you create a profile, you can login in as a returning candidate.

Do I need to complete a whole application every time I apply for a new position?
Once you create your user profile on the careers portal), any application you submit after that will automatically include the work history and education information from your profile. A new application is required for each position you apply too. 

Do I need to have a resume or a cover letter to create a profile or apply for a position?
Legacy Health does not require resumes or cover letters as part of the application process. Please note that if you upload a resume or cover letter, our recruiters and hiring managers will see only the most recent version.

After I have applied for a position online, should I also e-mail, fax or mail a copy of my application, resume or cover letter to Legacy?
Legacy Health relies on the information submitted through your online application. If additional information is needed, we will communicate this to you through the portal and the email address on your profile. 

May I send you my CV or resume to keep on file?
No. Legacy does not accept CVs, resumes or applications for positions that are not posted on our site. When you apply for a position you will have the option to upload your resume to your profile. 

I want to apply for a job I saw yesterday, but now it's not there.
Applications are accepted only for positions that are currently open. If you saw a position job yesterday, but it's not there now, that means it is no longer open for new applications.

Do I need an e-mail address to create a Profile?
You do need an email address as part of your profile as we use email for a lot of our correspondence, and it helps us maintain timely communication with you.  

I'm trying to apply, but I'm having trouble.
