With over twenty years of medical recruiting experience, Van Allen and The Hire Connection team are here to help VA hospitals overcome the unique challenges they face. Keep reading to learn more about how our physician recruiting firm can help the Veterans Administration overcome their recruitment challenges.
CHALLENGE: Limited Budget
VA hospitals offer a valuable resource to veterans in that they offer much-needed care at a much more affordable rate than other hospitals. However, this lower rate means that they have less money to pay their providers - a drawback that can seriously hurt their recruitment efforts.
SOLUTION: Other Recruitment Incentives
Fortunately, an impressive salary is not the only advantage that can be used to attract quality physicians. VA hospitals tend to have success recruiting when they advertise the desirable incentives they can offer their staff, such as a flexible workweek, extra vacation time, insurance, and student debt relief.
CHALLENGE: Recruiters Who Work 9-5
Most of the internal recruiting staff at VA hospitals work standard 9-5 or 8-4:30 jobs. They come into work in the mornings and spend eight hours trying to attract physicians. After they go home in the evening, they won't give much thought to recruitment until they come back into work the next morning. Unfortunately, it takes more than 40 hours a week to find quality physicians.SOLUTION: Hire An External Medical Recruiting Firm
As an independent physician recruiting firm, we aren't confined to the standard hours held by most in-house recruiting staff. Since most physicians search for new positions while still holding down their current jobs, they need to be able to talk to recruiters during irregular hours when they are not at work. Our team is available around the clock to recruit interested candidates.
CHALLENGE: Inexperienced In-House Recruiters
Physician recruitment is not an easy task. You shouldn't hire new recruiters, train them for a few weeks, and then expect them to successfully attract the nation's best available physicians and nurses. There is a large learning curve and a lot of moving parts related to the art of recruiting. There are several different strategies and tactics that can lead to success, but these must be learned over time. Expecting quick results will only lead to failure.
SOLUTION: Experienced Third-Party Recruiters
It takes a lot of dedication and an enormous amount of time to become good at recruiting. When we hire young recruiters, we are committed to training them for a year before they can be expected to be effective. By hiring a third-party recruiting firm, you can let someone else shoulder the responsibility of training recruiters so you can get straight to enjoying the benefits.
