“I’m sure we will be calling on your staff again for our recruitment needs” - Shelby Memorial Hospital

The Hire Connection Client Experience

Summary:

Shelby Memorial Hospital (SMH), Shelbyville, Illinois, the lone hospital serving Shelby County’s population of 5000; decided they needed more coverage for their area.

They needed a provider to cover their rural clinic that is critical to ensuring the viability of their organization. “This recruitment enables us to provide treatment to a lot of patients that would have gone to other facilities if we had not been successful.” This recruitment will also increase the hospital’s revenue.

Shelbyville is a small farming community and is most proud of their invention of the Pick-Up Bailer. It was designed, and also manufactured, in Shelbyville. This has made a huge impact on the community.

 

Case Details:     

Location: Shelbyville, Illinois

Service Area: Shelby County

Physician Staff:  4

Growth Plans: Due to retirement we are going to need to add physicians.

Recruitment Method: Outsourced Recruiting

Marilyn Sears is the CEO of SMH, a 30 bed not-for-profit community hospital located in Shelbyville, IL. They take a lot of pride in providing quality healthcare for the county and it has been a tradition for over 90 years. 

This small hospital stays busy in the ER with just over 30,000 visits annually. Marilyn Sears was born in this hospital, has experienced and embraces the hospital’s philosophy of ultimate excellence in patient caring and describes the hospital in two words…."totally compassionate”.

SMH provides a round-the-clock Emergency Department that is fully staffed by physicians and highly trained nurses. They also feature a full cadre of both in and outpatient services including a 24-hour lab and an imaging department that is fully digital. Another component of SMH is an advanced surgery department with an acute inpatient care unit.

Marilyn has worked with other contingent and retained firms in the past. She got really frustrated with previous firms because they would essentially submit every physician in their database without even trying to ensure they were a good fit. She said she called a candidate one night that had been sent over by a firm and learned during that conversation, the candidate was an Orthopedic Surgeon when she was recruiting a Family Practitioner. Marilyn received another candidate that was a Pathologist who just decided he was going to start practicing Family Medicine; that wasn't acceptable either.

Then Sears met The HireConnection

When we asked Marilyn why she selected The Hire Connection, she said, “I like that you are from the Midwest, and I get a different kind of feeling than other firms were giving me. I guess it was just a great vibe and Norma sold me on it”.


“Kathryn was great every step of the way. She is very knowledgeable and kept me so informed throughout the process. I was also very impressed with her communication.”


Marilyn indicated she would highly recommend The Hire Connection and she is very happy with her new physician. “I will be calling upon your services again.”

We made Pocahontas Family Medical Center very happy!

The Hire Connection Client Experience

“I liked the fact that we were both sharing in the risk”

Summary:  

Pocahontas is a one hospital town and the hospital has 50 beds with a Level 4 Trauma designation. Pocahontas Medical Clinic(PMC) is locally owned. They currently have 5 Family Practitioners and 2 Advanced Nurse Practitioners. This is a very busy practice in need of sourcing and securing a new physician due to a physician relocating.

Pocahontas is located in Randolph County and has a population of 6500. It is the only county in the US with 5 rivers running through it. They are very proud to be listed as one of the Top 3 Most Affordable Cities in Arkansas. PMC is located between three other communities with the closest being Jonesboro Arkansas, which is 40 minutes away. 

Case Details:           

Location: Pocahontas, Arkansas

Service Area: Pocahontas

Physician Staff: 5

Growth Needs: The city of Pocahontas has been awarded a new plant that opens in 2015 and will employ over 1000 people and consequently will increase the PMC patient visits. They will need to recruit additional physicians to meet the needs.

                                   Recruitment Method: Outsourced Recruiting

Anthony Pemberton is the CEO of Pocahontas Medical Clinic. Most of PMC’s staff, including the providers, were born and raised in Pocahontas. They like to describe the facility as “your hometown healthcare clinic”. PMC opened its doors in August of 1979 and, in addition to the 7 providers, they employ 40 supplementary staff. With the continued growth of Pocahontas, PMC plans to expand by opening a new clinic. At that point, they will need to bring in another physician as well as a Nurse Practitioner. 

When this recruiting process began, PMC needed one physician to start in 2014 and an additional provider for the new clinic that will open in 2015. “Their quick and timely placement certainly meets our immediate need and we are confident they will fill our next need as soon as it’s launched”, said Anthony Pemberton, CEO.

Then we met The Hire Connection

Anthony evaluated a few firms before arriving at his decision to move forward with THC. “It was an immediate need and I truly believed THC would deliver the best candidate and in a very expedient manner, and they did”. Anthony described the challenges to successfully recruit to Pocahontas, as their rural setting. “It’s tough to find applicants who want to live in this setting”. He has worked with other firms, while working in a similar position for another organization, and he was always frustrated with the lack of communication and wondering where they were in the process. He said, “every time he signed a contract with a recruiting firm---I never heard from them again”.

Anthony worked with Kira at The Hire Connection and loved that she always kept him in the loop. She was always engaged in the process. “I also loved that they came down to Pocahontas and did a personal site-visit. This was a chance for them to meet the medical staff and really capture what we were looking for in a candidate. The profile truly enabled them to represent our practice opportunity accurately”.


When we asked Anthony what he thought about THC and whether he would use them again, he answered with a resounding, “Yes I would!!! We are very pleased and very satisfied with the outcome.”

Traditionally, you have had two choices - Now you have The Hire Connection!

Break away from traditional recruiting models

The healthcare recruiting industry has two traditional approaches to the way recruiting companies will use for placement of healthcare professionals.  Let's take a quick look at each approach and then The Hire Connection approach!

Traditional Contingent Approach 

The contingent approach is sometimes considered a value, because no payment is required until when or IF, a candidate is placed.  Contingent agencies offer limited client services and sourcing ability, which can prolong recruitment efforts and have a negative impact on the quality of your outcome.

Contingent agencies represent the candidate...not you or your company!  How much incentive do you think they have to make a placement at  your facility versus others?

Traditional Retained Approach

The retained approach offers a comprehensive recruitment strategy that designates staff, resources and services to your search.   

Retained agencies are expensive, difficult to budget...and if the search goes unfilled, the client loses EVERYTHING they have invested in the search.  There also may be additional advertising charges and the average financial risk if the search goes unfilled is $28,000.

The Hire Connection Approach!

The Hire Connection was founded to provide a comprehensive recruitment solution that is financially safe and affordable.

We implement a full-service recruitment strategy with a unique money back guarantee to substantially mitigate your financial risk.  Coupling technology, expertise and accountability, The Hire Connection services are designed to source, screen, qualify, present and place providers to satisfy recruitment goals and provider retention.

Safe and affordable, our schedule fee is easy to budget and all advertising is included in total recruitment costs.  We also charge far less than other agencies in it's class, and our completion fee is contingent on successful placement!

Don't go the traditional approach route...The Hire Connection approach works!
