Humana's hiring for its large remote clinical workforce (telephonic care managers, utilization-review nurses) runs through a heavily automated funnel: candidates first record answers to a scripted phone or on-demand interview, then meet a recruiter or hiring manager over webcam, and for care-manager roles may be sent an online job simulation that mimics a day of member calls. Live rounds are almost entirely behavioral and situational rather than clinical-knowledge quizzes, with screening on credentials (case-manager certification, Milliman/InterQual exposure) and, for the military/TRICARE line of business, tolerance for a multi-week security clearance. Non-clinical corporate hiring is much less documented publicly. The only first-hand corporate account found was an entry-level actuarial phone screen conducted by a panel of four at once.
