The Challenge

With a significant number of hard-to-fill positions open in their Surgical and Neurological ICUs, our partner needed experienced RN recruiters to supplement their internal team, develop a strong talent pipeline, increase applicant flow, and reduce reliance on traveling nurses, thereby lowering contingency costs.

Our Solution

To address our partner’s challenges, Hueman Professional Recruitment designated two contract recruiter seats for this partnership. These recruiters became an extension of our partner’s team, seamlessly integrating into their ATS and processes.

With support from a Hueman Recruitment Director, the team worked with leadership to reduce open requisitions and attract more applicants. The success of the team’s work in the Emergency Department led to expanded recruiting for the Women’s Services department.

All requisitions handled by Hueman recruiters were deemed hard to fill.

Results

In a year’s time, our recruiters will have hired a total of 90 clinicians, both nurses and social workers, for hard-to-fill positions. We also saw over 750 applicants and conducted 200 interviews.

Our demonstrated results led to more opportunities. Our partner chose to leverage one of our recruiters over their internal team to lead recruitment for an Emergency Department transition program. That recruiter has since transitioned 5 nurses from other areas of the hospital to the Emergency Department.
