Start Looking Within Your Organization
The first place you should announce any job opening is within your company to see if anyone who’s already a valuable member of your team is interested. Still, training can be a problem since your senior staff members may not have the necessary time or skills to help.
That’s where online training through a reputable school like MedCerts can help. Your employees can get ahead in their careers by completing certification training online, while simultaneously helping you fill those difficult positions.
MedCerts trains candidates specifically for the work you need them to do, and it’s possible to specialize the lessons to focus on methods used in your company. This is an ideal opportunity to provide added incentives for growth within your team.
Create an Apprenticeship Program
Another way to find qualified EHR candidates is to partner with a school that’s already training and helping students gain the exact certifications you require. With an apprenticeship program, students are grateful for the opportunities for hands-on learning, and you can feel confident they’re a good fit for the team.
MedCerts works closely with its students to see what work environment is best for them and helps match them with the right professional settings for their personality. Best of all, MedCerts is a registered apprenticeship intermediary with the U.S. Department of Labor. That means you won’t have extra paperwork to fill out.
Get Creative to Fill EHR Jobs
These methods are much more effective than simply posting a job description online and waiting for the perfect applicant to show up. Every HR professional knows the feeling of being overwhelmed with applications from people who simply aren’t qualified. It’s more cost-effective and efficient to embrace new hiring methods – including finding internal talent or working with a training organization to build your talent pipeline.
By partnering with MedCerts through internal training initiatives and apprenticeship programs, you’ll overcome the shortage in healthcare staffing and fill positions with top candidates fast.
