‌Partner With a Health Staffing Agency

‌Health staffing agencies can do a lot of the legwork for you. Working with a good agency gives you access to a deep pool of candidates, which goes far in simplifying the process. Some of the benefits of working with a staffing agency over traditional hiring include the following:

• It’s faster. Agencies typically have a wealth of candidates that have already been screened. That means no time spent advertising for jobs, conducting interviews or waiting for references or background checks, and no need to sift through applications to weed out unqualified candidates.

• It’s more flexible. If you need temporary or longer-term coverage, staffing agencies can meet a variety of requirements.

• It offers a diverse pool of candidates. Good health staffing agencies have a wide range of professionals with experience and training in many specialties. This is particularly helpful if you need to fill a specific role. Through traditional advertising, finding that person can be hit-or-miss at best.

• It can be cheaper. While you normally have to pay a commission when hiring through a staffing agency, you’ll often spend more than that when going through all of the steps on your own.

Partner With a Trusted Training School

Quality training schools are a treasure trove for healthcare staffing. Partnering with a good school, like MedCerts, brings all sorts of benefits:

• As a partner, you’ll know MedCerts well. No need to research schools or programs from a stack of applications because you’ll already be familiar with MedCerts’s quality.

• MedCerts prepares students for national certifications, so graduates have the necessary skills. MedCerts’s certification exam pass rates are 20% higher than the national average.

• Working with MedCerts’s recruiting team means priority access to the best candidates.

Partner With an Apprenticeship Program

Starting an apprenticeship program can create a direct pipeline for staffing. Partnering with MedCerts for apprenticeships simplifies the process. MedCerts is a registered apprenticeship intermediary with the Department of Labor, so they take care of the administrative burden. This means that you get the benefits without the headaches. Some advantages of apprenticeships include:

• You can train the apprentices to fit your specific needs.

• Apprentices will complete the program with an intimate knowledge of your organization and will be an asset on day one.

• The hiring process is very abbreviated.

• Apprentices build trust and relationships with employees during the program, so they will already be integrated into your organization’s culture.

Partner With an Internal Training Program

MedCerts partners with employers to provide internal training programs to develop current employees skills. The benefits of these include:

• You can tailor the training programs to fit your organization’s specific needs.

• You’ll make your current workforce more versatile through cross-training.

• Employees selected for training are much more likely to be successful because you’ll already know their existing skills, personality, and work ethic.

• Training current, experienced employees for higher-up positions ensures that you’ll have trusted employees in roles with more responsibility.
