A top mobile healthcare provider in the Southeast U.S. faced challenges from rapid growth. Poor alignment between recruiters and hiring leaders hurt the hiring process. The provider faced inconsistent hiring, which hindered its ability to scale effectively. Without resolution, these challenges risked damaging its culture and brand. High turnover, caused by misaligned placements, burdened core staff with additional responsibilities. This dynamic hurt morale, lowered efficiency, and jeopardized both productivity and revenue.
In 2024, Hire Velocity launched Hire Health, its healthcare talent arm. This new Hire Velocity subsidiary shows its full commitment to hiring in healthcare. It provides Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), executive search, and tailored talent solutions to healthcare and life sciences organizations.
Hire Health partnered with that top mobile healthcare provider and aimed to revamp its recruitment strategy. Specializing in mobile integrated healthcare, the company needed help to recruit EMTs, paramedics, nurse practitioners, and dispatchers to achieve mission-critical growth targets. Hire Health used a data-driven approach to streamline hiring and engage talent proactively.
Integrating within the client’s ATS allowed for the capability of enhanced candidate filtering. Qualified individuals progressed swiftly through the pipeline while unfit candidates were disqualified early in the process. The Hire Health team could then focus on nurturing the right candidates all the way through interviews and into their start dates. As a result, the candidate experience improved greatly. The new process fixed a key retention issue, inconsistent engagement during the hiring process, found in the team's due diligence. Overall the client's hiring and retention improved.
With streamlined processes and talent pipelining, Hire Health filled critical roles, achieving an 88% offer acceptance rate and reducing the time-to-fill to 72 days. Over 8,000 candidates were sourced, leading to 341 hires at a cost of $1,014.34 per hire. This approach helped the client meet their ambitious growth and staffing goals.
This partnership proves Hire Health aids fast-growing healthcare firms in finding talent. It also positions the client as a leader in innovative healthcare solutions.
Hire Health will empower healthcare organizations to tackle their biggest challenges," said Marques Smith, CEO of Hire Velocity. "This initiative underscores our dedication to helping both healthcare organizations and candidates thrive. In today’s demanding landscape, effective, results-driven recruitment strategies are critical to reducing burnout and enhancing patient care."
