Step 2
If you are selected for a first-round interview, you will receive an email or phone call from an LSI representative.
Step 3
Background checks and references are completed following your interview. LSI completes background checks including, but not limited to, criminal convictions, Medicare/Medicaid fraud, child abuse, dependent adult abuse, sex offender, and motor vehicle records.
Step 4
If you successfully complete the background checks and you are selected for another possible round of interviews, we will be in touch.
