CVS Health is a critical resource for health care, prescriptions and other supplies in communities across the country, and we’ll continue to be here for customers, members and patients in these trying times.
We’re looking to fill more than 50,000 full-time, part-time and temporary jobs across the country to meet the surge in demand for health care and other services and help manage capacity for our existing colleagues as we help respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Roles include frontline store associates, warehouse workers and member/customer service professionals. Additionally, we are looking to hire many Pharmacy and Clinical roles, like Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians, Nurses, and others with healthcare training to support our patients’ increasing needs.
Approximately 47,000 positions are existing open full-time and part-time requisitions across the company (inclusive of CVS and Aetna systems). We are also recruiting to fill temporary roles that are due to a combination of increased demand and to provide coverage for our colleagues who are unable to work at this time, due to illness, family situations, or any number of other reasons. It is critical for us to provide healthcare support to our customers, patients, and members during this pandemic.
Fifty-five percent of the open positions are part-time; 45 percent are full-time (this is approximated as these numbers change daily).
The 50,000 jobs span across the country. In markets where we have large groups of stores, distribution centers and call centers, there are more openings.
We’re hiring immediately and are adapting our processes to manage through a complex operating environment. Through a technology-enabled hiring process that includes virtual job fairs, virtual interviews and virtual job tryouts, we can rapidly add to our workforce of retail and customer service positions, while creating opportunities for American workers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
For some roles, we may be able to make a hiring decision in just one to two business days, depending on the availability and number of candidates who apply.
For certain professional and executive roles, our time to fill can be longer, but this may depend on the number of qualified candidates in our pipeline.
Given that we are experience unprecedented volumes of interest, we ask those who apply for patience as we make every attempt to get to them.
