COVID-19 Resources For Candidates

At Syneos Health, our priorities continue to be protecting the health and safety of our employees, candidates and partnering with our customers, sponsors, and investigators to deliver life-saving medicines with commitment and compassion to sites and patients worldwide.

We will continue to provide communication about the steps we are taking in response to the COVID-19 crisis, to ensure that the vital work of delivering new therapies to patients remains. For our candidates, we are here to help support you with questions you may have about our open positions, statuses for applications, and any changes to our hiring processes. If you have any questions, please reach out to your recruiter or send us an email.

  • Is Syneos Health still hiring?

    We are hiring across all areas of our business including Clinical, Commercial and Corporate, and we continue moving forward with a completely virtual hiring process to ensure the safety of our employees and candidates. Please continue to check our careers website for updates on open positions.

  • My hire date is coming up, will I start by working from home?

    Prior to COVID-19, more than 50% of our employees worked remotely. Now, across our entire business, from our Clinical to Commercial operations, most of our teams are conducting all business-related engagements virtually. We are also offering New Hire Orientation virtually when possible to help you get onboarded and settled. Please communicate with your hiring manager for further updates about regional and country guidelines for work from home updates. We are here to support you and ensure you have the necessary materials, supplies, technology and tools for successful, effective virtual work.

    We continue to follow strict quarantine rules in alignment with the most up-to-date government guidance for colleagues who may have been exposed to someone diagnosed with COVID-19. Our remote work protocols reinforce WHO and CDC guidelines to help prevent the spread of respiratory disease and support the practice of social distancing. We are advising employees who feel unwell to follow guidelines from their local authorities for testing and treatment. If you feel unwell prior to an interview, please contact your recruiter or hiring manager to let them know and work with them to re-schedule.

Video Interviewing Guide

Tips to help you in preparing for your upcoming virtual interview:

 

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time to make sure your system is working properly.

 

Your virtual interview will be as close to the real interview as possible, so please prepare accordingly.

 

Try to find a quiet location.

Quick Tips:

  • Dress professionally, but keep the camera in mind. Solid colors are always safe. You will be able to make any needed adjustments to your appearance once you see yourself on camera.
  • Ample room lighting is needed to ensure good video quality. Light sources should come from behind the webcam (with the light shining on your face) and not from behind you. Try not to sit with your back to a bright window.
  • The height for the webcam should be roughly at eye level. Make sure the webcam is the appropriate distance away from you so that it is displays your head and shoulders.
  • Whether you are using VoIP or a conference call line, we recommend you are hands free to have a more natural conversation. If you are using your cell phone for the interiew, make sure your battery is fully charged.
  • Be on time! Connect to the interview early and be prepared to greet other participants.
