NOTICE to APPLICANTS:
Holy Cross Medical Center and Taos Professional Services, LLC personnel policies and requirements for employment are governed by federal law.  Please be advised that all candidates for employment are required to pass the federal drug screen for alcohol and cannabis.  This drug screen is very sensitive and will detect traces of cannabis for 30 to 90 days (depending on the amount of use) and alcohol for up to 48 hours. 

Although the recreational use of cannabis as well as alcohol is legal in the state of New Mexico, we are required to follow federal law, under which anyone who tests positive for TCH, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis that produces the high sensation, is automatically eliminated from employment with HCMC or Taos Professional Services, LLC for a minimum of 12 months.  The same is true for a positive alcohol test.   There are no exceptions. 

What does Per diem mean?
As a member of our Per Diem staff, you will be there when you’re needed most. You’ll adhere to a flexible schedule and be ready to hit the ground running during peak operation times, to cover vacations and for special projects. That’s because you may be called in to fill a shift the same day as needed. Many times, Per Diem employees may find themselves transitioning into Full-time or Part-time roles within a hospital.

How many hours does a per diem get scheduled?
Your role as a Per Diem employee lends itself to a flexible schedule with varying hours depending on department need and candidate availability

I have already filled out an application; do I have to fill out that information all over again?
We take your application seriously—and that’s why each is reviewed separately. So to be considered for a position, you must apply to it directly.

Will I be notified either way regarding an interview?
Here at THS, we want your application process to be as smooth as possible. If you appear to meet the qualifications of the position you are applying for, a director/manager may call you for an interview. If the position closed or we think you may be better suited elsewhere, you will be notified via email. Please take into account that we experience a large volume of applications, so this process may take up to several weeks.

What is a peer panel interview?
THS Peer Panel Interviews offer your potential colleagues a chance to get to know you. They typically consist of 2 to 5 employees from within the department of the position for which you are applying. Since your peers will be familiar with the job, they’ll consider your qualifications, experience, and fit within the department and STAR values to decide whether it’s the right match.

What is a leadership panel interview?
If you are applying for a management related position, approximately 3 to 5 employees from outside the department for which you are interviewing will take their time carefully reviewing your candidacy.

If I am having trouble applying what should I do?
For assistance about a job posting or career opportunity, you may call our Human Resources department at 575-751-5782 between the hours of 8:00 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday.
