How We Hire

Take a Look at the Process from Application to Decision

STEP 1: Applying to a Job

The first step is to apply to the job of your choice. Take a look at our open positions and see what would be a good fit for you. Once you send in your application, a member of our hiring team will see if you meet the qualifications and skill set of the job.

STEP 2: Talking with a Discovery Teammate

If your application indicates that you meet many of the qualifications we’re looking for, a member of our hiring team will contact you to speak more in depth about the position and ask some key questions. Depending on the role, they may ask you for work samples or proof of certifications/licensure.

STEP 3: Interviewing with the Team

When it’s established that you’re a good candidate for the position, you will first interview with the hiring manager, which is either in-person or done virtually. If the hiring manager wants to continue the conversation, you will likely do a second interview with other members of the team within the department or facility to which you’re applying.

STEP 4: Making a Choice

The last step is the decision-making process. This is when the hiring manager and their team discuss which candidate should join their department or facility. Depending on the number of candidates, it may take some time to decide, so we thank you in advance for your patience. If you are the candidate selected for the position, the DBH team will call you and an offer letter will be sent to you via email. Congratulations on your new job with DBH! If you end up not being chosen, we encourage you to apply again in the future. We may have another job that you would be great at.

This could include relevant education, licenses and certifications, skills such as familiarity with specific therapeutic approaches, EMRs, or assessment tools, professional memberships, trainings, or volunteer experiences.
