attaching your resume, cover letter and other required documents (see application requirements
below) or by completing the on-line application. You can apply for multiple vacancies in one
submission.
We require that you apply through our on-line system. However, if you do not have access to our
system and the closing date is imminent, please send your application documents to
rcuhhr@rcuh.com.
We do not accept unsolicited resumes. You must apply for a specific job vacancy and all
application documents should be labeled with the recruitment ID#. Do not send your application
to the project conducting the recruitment.
Applications must be submitted by the closing date of the job announcement.

application up until 11:59 p.m. HST on the closing date. You must include the recruitment ID# of

What is an ID#?
Every job vacancy is associated with an identification number (e.g. ID#12222). You must include
this number on each document/attachment of your application materials. If you apply through erecruit, the system will automatically note the ID#(s) of the job vacancies you are applying for
when you select it. This number is required to process your application and respond to your

Some projects will require all application materials at the time of application. Most projects will
accept your transcripts or diploma after application. You may submit them separately by noting
the ID# of the position(s) you are applying for. If you are contacted for an interview, you should be
prepared to provide your transcripts or diploma at that time. Transcripts and/or diplomas
confirming your credentials for the position are required before an official job offer can be made.
What happens after I apply?
If you provided your email address on your application you will receive an email confirming your
receipt of application for the position(s) you applied for.
Applications received are forwarded to the project conducting the recruitment to review and
conduct interviews. If the project is interested in interviewing you, they will contact you directly
some time after the closing date. If you need any special accommodations to participate in the
interview process, you may request it at that time.

Specific questions about a position should be directed to the inquiry person noted on the job
vacancy announcement.

You can check the Current Job Vacancies to view an updated listing of the current job
vacancies and apply for any new positions you may be interested in. Our on-line application
system allows you to apply for multiple positions in one submission. Each time you apply through
