The uphill battle of hospital staffing is only getting worse. The pandemic has created new challenges and exacerbated the old ones. Hospitals can’t maintain adequate staffing levels, and patient care suffers.
The combination of failing to convey compelling reasons to work for your company and a lack of understanding the candidate experience, directly impacts your offer acceptance, and dropout rates. Going forward, hospitals will need to focus more on candidate experience and engagement if they want greater – and sustainable – recruiting success.
Surf Search helps fill in the gaps by developing pipelines of qualified candidates. We educate and convince candidates of the benefits of working for your company and ensure their experience in the interviewing process is positive and welcoming.
Our hospital client had a terrible record with physician applicants. They simply had nobody applying to positions on its website and they couldn’t understand why. With a gorgeous website, they didn’t understand the problem. This market is just too competitive! You cannot rely on candidates finding your job opportunities and applying online. Healthcare workers, while they may be great at taking care of patients – are not great at job searches. Candidates need to be found and sold on working for your organization.
Surf Search worked closely with each hiring team within the hospital to identify specifics about what’s attractive about the role and why the candidate should come to work for them. Surf Search then reached out directly to our large database of healthcare candidates. We had direct conversations with candidates to learn their motivations for making a job change, and then had the opportunity to address those needs while talking about specific positions in our client’s organization. Think of Surf Search as a sales team for your organization. You simply can’t wait around hoping that qualified candidates will apply online. In this case, we were able to fill many critical positions by simply being proactive.
We are a rural hospital and it can be difficult to get employees to relocate to our area. We struggle to find good candidates. Surf Search has helped us fill several positions. We really appreciated the help and they are now our go-to firm.
