Using Your Employees To Help You Recruit

Recruitment is the lifeblood of any hospital or company. Without a successful recruitment strategy, the company may struggle to find high-quality team members. Without these great team members, the quality of care they deliver can suffer and, consequently, so can their reputation and their bottom line. 

In our experience as a physician recruiting company, we have learned a great deal about what a good recruitment strategy needs. In order to achieve a successful recruitment strategy, you have to have great cooperation and cohesion between several different components. Your employees make up one of these key components, but many companies fail to maximize their current team members when devising their recruitment strategies. This week, the team at The Hire Connection, LLC is here to help you brainstorm some ways to get your current team members involved in the recruiting process.


1. Use Your Team To Create A Positive Job Atmosphere.

As the leader of your healthcare facility, it is up to you to set the tone of your corporate culture. However, it is up to your team to follow through and actually create the culture by following your example. If you get your whole team on board, creating an outstanding company culture is easy - and it be incredibly helpful when the time comes to attract potential candidates to your open position. After all, everyone wants to work in a great atmosphere!

2. Let Your Team Spread The Word That You're Hiring.

How are you marketing your open position? If you're doing it right, you should have your opportunity advertised everywhere - snail mail, phone calls, websites, social media, and word of mouth. Word of mouth is a particularly powerful way of spreading a message, because you can always count on the fact that people will talk to one another. Tell your employees when you have an open position, and let them spread the word. If you have created a great healthcare atmosphere, they will probably want to tell everyone about the job opening!

3. Get Their Opinions During The Hiring Process.

As the CEO of your hospital, you may not be intimately acquainted with the day-to-day routine your employees follow. How can you be sure if your new hire will fit in with the existing culture? Have a few trusted team members sit in on your interviews, and let them offer their insights on how well the potential candidates will fit. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a go-getter candidate who will break the rest of the team free from their current routine, your current employees can help you recognize the right candidates for the job.

Your Employees Can Be A Great Help, But Don't Let Your Recruitment Strategy Stop There!

As we stated earlier, a successful recruitment strategy requires the careful cohesion of several different parts. In addition to involving your employees, you should be advertising your opportunities online, in the mail, at career fairs, and more. Hiring a professional medical recruiting company to help you with this process can make a world of difference! The Hire Connection has successfully provided physician job recruiting and job placement services to hospitals all over the country.
