Healthcare Recruitment
Healthcare recruitment is not simply about finding an RN, therapist, or allied health professional with the right title. The candidate has to fit the actual clinical environment and the facility’s requirements.
I provide hands-on recruitment support for healthcare staffing agencies, hospitals, skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, rehabilitation providers, outpatient organizations, behavioral health organizations, and home health providers.
My support covers the recruitment process from sourcing and initial candidate engagement through screening, submission, interview coordination, and pre-placement support.
The goal is straightforward:
Source the right healthcare professionals. Screen beyond the résumé. Submit candidates who fit the clinical need. And help keep them moving toward placement.
-
Before presenting a candidate, I look at the requirements that can determine whether someone is actually a viable match.
Depending on the position, this can include:
Active state licensure and required certifications
Clinical specialty and recent relevant experience
Experience in similar-sized hospitals, units, or healthcare settings
Patient population and nurse-to-patient ratios
Required clinical skills and competencies
EMR/charting system experience
Shift, schedule, weekend, float, and on-call requirements
Start date and availability
Required competency testing or assessments
Requested time off and other assignment considerations
These are specifically identified in the guide as important factors when reviewing healthcare candidates and determining whether they fit a facility's needs.
-
I can support recruitment across nursing specialties and care environments, including acute care, long-term care, rehabilitation, behavioral health, home health, and other clinical settings.
This can include RNs, LPNs/LVNs, CNAs, and nurses with specialty experience such as Med-Surg, Telemetry, ICU/CCU, Emergency, OR, PACU, Labor & Delivery, Behavioral Health, Oncology, and other specialty areas.
Understanding the specialty matters because healthcare facilities may have very different expectations regarding clinical experience, patient populations, certifications, unit size, scheduling, and required skills. The guide specifically emphasizes matching these factors rather than relying only on a candidate's job title.
-
My healthcare recruiting support also extends beyond nursing to allied health professionals.
This can include talent working in areas such as Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, Radiology/Imaging, laboratory services, rehabilitation, and other allied health disciplines.
For example, the healthcare staffing material distinguishes specialized imaging areas such as X-ray, CT, MRI, mammography, and ultrasound, reinforcing why sourcing allied health professionals requires understanding the candidate's actual specialty rather than grouping everyone under a general healthcare title.
-
A strong submission should tell the client why the candidate fits the opening, not simply forward a résumé.
I can help review candidate information before submission and make sure important details are captured, including relevant experience, specialty skills, certifications, licensure, availability, schedule requirements, and other position-specific qualifications.
In healthcare staffing, candidate profiles may also include a résumé, specialty skills checklist, references, and profile/cover information highlighting experience relevant to the facility's requirements.
-
Once a healthcare professional moves toward placement, I can also support the administrative side of getting the candidate ready to start.
This can include helping track and follow up on credentialing and compliance documentation, while keeping the candidate informed about outstanding requirements and next steps.
The healthcare staffing process may involve requirements such as physical examinations, immunization documentation, licenses, certifications, and other facility or agency-specific credentials.
