Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start the process with FCS?

It is best to start the process by sending in your CV to FCS. This may be done by emailing it to [email protected] or by applying to a specific job on our website. Please include your preference as to which state(s) you wish to locate in.

How soon should I contact FCS if I am interested in a position after residency or if I'm considering a new position?

There is not a set rule on this. Typically, six to nine months is sufficient time. Candidates with visa requirement should allow approximately one year.

Does FCS work with J1 and H1B candidates?

FCS has placed many visa candidates. Keep in mind that the opportunities available for visa candidates are typically rural or underserved areas.

When I interview for an open position, who pays for travel expenses?

This varies from client to client. Most hospitals and mental health clinics will pay for reasonable expenses associated with an interview, but this is not always the case. Your FCS account executive will find out this information and will notify you prior to the interview.

When I have accepted the open position, who pays for relocation expenses?

This varies from client to client. In some cases, a certain allowance will be given for relocation expenses. It is always important to ask this question in the interview.

I am not licensed in the state I am interested in relocating to. Who pays for the licensing for that state?

In most cases, all fees for licensing are paid for by the candidate. In certain situations, the client will pay for these fees.

Does FCS assist with the licensure process?

FCS is not equipped to assist in the licensure process but can direct to you people that can help.

Why isn't salary or pay information listed on the FCS website?

We do not list salaries on our job posting because most of our clients will pay based on experience, thus the salaries are flexible.

How long does the application process take?

FCS does not require an application. Once we have received a copy of your CV and have determined your needs, we will begin presenting job opportunities to you for your review.
