The Hire Connection and Social Media

It's hard to believe that Facebook is now 12 years old and that Twitter has been around for over 10 years!  LinkedIn is the Facebook for professionals, and Google+ has 111 million active users and still growing.  YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world.  Many people now get their news only from social media.   They also get local news, sports, entertainment, gossip, and even the weather from their social accounts.  Luckily, businesses can also utilize these social channels to get their message out to their potential clients.  Each social media channel has a different set of demographics, and in order to reach the maximum amount of potential clients, you need to be on all of them.




How The Hire Connection uses Social Media


At THC, we are all in when it comes to using social media to reach our potential clients and to also reach potential candidates for our opportunities.  We provide insights into our corporate culture, talk industry news, provide motivational thoughts, and help with recruiting tips that we have found successful.  We try to communicate our unique culture, tell stories, and share useful and interesting news and insights.  

We also target our audience whenever possible.  We want fans that are truly interested in the medical recruiting world, and we strive to entice potential candidates to learn about our constantly changing opportunities.  For our clients, we also maximize the reach of their opportunities via numerous social media avenues.  Here's some examples of the demographic audience we have:

THC Blog - www.thehireconnection.blogspot.com


This is a critical piece of our social media campaign, as it allows us expanded content to explore many topics and showcase our opportunities.  We will go over 10,000 blog views shortly.


THC Facebook page - www.facebook.com/thehireconnection


Facebook is the undisputed King of social media right now.  We utilize Facebook to reach an older demographic and we target our audience via Facebook promotions.  Over the past 28 days, our posts have reached a total of 12,448 people and these people are engaging with our posts (likes, clicks to our website, shares, etc.).


THC Twitter account - www.twitter.com/hireconnection


We target the younger demographic (read Millennials) with this platform.  We send several short and sweet tweets each week that captures the attention of this growing pool of candidates in the medical world.

THC LinkedIn account - www.linkedin.com/company/the-hire-connection-llc


LinkedIn is very important in our social world.  We utilize this platform to reach not only possible candidates, but also the decision makers at medical facilities.  We use this platform to establish credibility, and reach the older, often more affluent professionals in the world!

THC YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/HireConXion


Video is now the place to be, and we leverage this social media option heavily.  We create custom videos that showcase our opportunities and hits potential candidates with all of the perks of the position, location and community info, and compensation options.  If you have not seen one of our videos, check them out!



THC Google+ page - www.plus.google.com/+TheHireConnectionOsageBeach


The joke goes "only Google executives are on Google+", but with 111 million active users, we don't believe this.  If Google owns the platform, and can affect our website ranking via active posting, then we are all in!

If you are looking for a medical recruiting company that knows the potential of social media and how to effectively utilize it for your opportunities, then we are a clear choice for you.  We can get you in front of thousands of perspective candidates, get the info to them that they want, and get the ball rolling to present you with the RIGHT person.  Contact us now to start your search.  You won't regret making THC your choice!

Honoring Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nurses

We talk frequently about the importance of hiring experienced physicians for your practice, but today we want to dedicate our attention to another crucial member of any medical health team: the nurses. In honor of National Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Nurses Day on September 8th, 2016, we thought we'd dedicate this blog to these specific nursing specialists.


Understanding Hematology-Oncology

MedicineNet.com defines Hematology-Oncology (or "hem-onc" for short) as the "diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of blood diseases (hematology) and cancer (oncology) and research into them." Examples of diseases that fall under the hematology-oncology classification include:
  • Hemophilia
  • Iron Deficiency Anemia
  • Sickle Cell Disease
  • Thalassemia
  • Lymphoma
  • Leukemia
  • Other Types of Cancer

Respecting Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Patients

Patients and their families are often grief-stricken when they hear of these particular diagnoses, and treatment is often long, grueling, and incredibly time-consuming. For example, cancer patients (even in the best circumstances) may expect to spend several weeks or months in the hospital during the initial stages of their treatment, followed by years of outpatient tests, treatment, and observation. Depending on the specific diagnosis and how advanced the disease was before it was discovered, some patients may never have any hope of recovery.

Considering this information, it's easy to see why a diagnoses in the hematology-oncology field can be so horrifying - especially for pediatric patients. Such a diagnoses is hard for anyone, but it is especially tragic for children and teenagers who would otherwise still have so much life left ahead of them.


Honoring Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nurses

Due to the life-altering and sometimes tragic nature of these diseases, it takes a special type of nurse to work in this field. These nurses must be able to treat and interact with patients who are actively engaged in their treatment and looking forward to getting better, but they must also be able to be provide empathetic care to patients who may never get to live another day outside the hospital. Skill and expertise is critical for a nurse to succeed in this field, but empathy and genuine caring for their patients are almost equally as crucial. 

Since they work primarily with children, pediatric hematology-oncology nurses must possess the added skills required to work successfully with young people. Young children process information and emotions differently than adults do, and it takes a special nurse to be able to create the type of environment a critically ill child can feel comfortable in.

Recruiting Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nurses

If you are preparing to hire a new pediatric hematology-oncology nurse, ensuring that you find the right candidates is essential. Our medical recruiting experts are here to help you with every step of the process, including advertising your opportunity, screening prospective candidates, designing your proposed compensation package, and negotiating the terms of employment with your chosen candidate.

The Cost of Hiring the Wrong Physician

Let's face it...you can hire the wrong physician for your opportunity.  Hopefully that does not happen, and at The Hire Connection, our success rate for placing the right physician in your opportunity is one of the main reasons you should call us.  However, if the wrong physician is hired, what is the cost to your organization?  Here are some costs associated with hiring the wrong candidate:

Poor hires are a drain on your resources in a big way.



Financial

Obviously, the financial cost of hiring the wrong candidate is reason #1.  Salary, relocation allowances, signing bonuses and compensation for school debt are all drains on your organizations finances if the wrong person is hired.  In addition, you may have to pay a severance package to someone that you have to let go.  The US Department of Labor estimates that the cost of a bad hire can equal 30 percent of the employees first year's earnings.  

Time and Productivity 

Hiring the wrong person invariably is a huge drain on the time of many people, from department heads to upper management and human resource departments.  If training is involved, immediate supervisors and trainers will see no return on the time spent trying to get the new hire up to speed.  If there is conflict involved, then even more time is spent to try to remediate the conflicts and supervisors can spend a large part of their day trying to manage poor performers.

Morale

Nothing can kill the morale of an organization faster than a poor hiring choice.  Having a poor performer can demotivate the team and your other employees can become disinterested or stop engaging.



Reputation of the Medical Facility

Your physicians are the lifeblood of the organization, and have the most face to face time with your patients.  Hiring the wrong physician can have a devastating effect on the reputation of the medical facility or hospital.  Social media makes this even more damaging. If a patient has the wrong experience with a physician, you can bet it will be on Facebook or other social channels very quickly. 

So how do I keep from hiring the wrong candidate?

Keep in mind that 80% of turnover is due to bad hiring decisions, so examine your recruiting processes carefully.  If you find that you are continually hiring candidates that are disrupting company culture, decreasing your productivity, and causing lost revenue, then consider hiring a professional medical recruiting company like The Hire Connection.   Our processes include:
  1. Constantly researching QUALITY candidates
  2. Keeping a current list of potential candidates
  3. Using technology to find and recruit top candidates
  4. Vetting candidates based upon your input about your culture and environment
  5. Working to ensure candidates' families know in advance about the community
  6. Much more!
Don't lose more time/money/energy or the reputation of your facility.  Give us a call and we will help you find the RIGHT candidate.

Recruiting 101 - Tell Your Story to Attract the Best Talent

Many experts believe that the United States faces an emergency in healthcare with a massive physician shortage looming. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the US will face a shortage of 90,000 physicians by 2020, and 130,000 by 2025. This prediction means that the available talent pool for filling your medical facilities opportunities is shrinking and that recruitment efforts for these physicians becomes even more complicated. With the private sector also competing for this talent (pharmaceutical, medical device, biotech companies as examples), your recruiting efforts need to be honed to new levels of effectiveness. At the best medical recruiting company in the US, The Hire Connection team has learned that "Telling Your Story" can make the difference in landing the right physician for your opportunity.


Telling Your Story

Doing this the same old way does not work anymore. Talking about upward advancement, higher pay, blah, blah, blah, is not the best way to tell your story. Most candidates already understand that if they stick around long enough, their career and pay will advance. These candidates most likely have heard the same stories from other recruiters as well. Tell your candidates a story that will resonate with them, and pique their interest in your opportunity.

Have a Compelling Voice in Your Story

Effective story telling is based on how well you can capture the attention of the audience and engage them on an emotional level. One way to do this is to have your current physicians tell their stories. How did they come to the conclusion that the particular hospital was right for them? What reasons were compelling to them? What struck a chord in them about choosing the opportunity?  Let your physicians do the recruiting for you!

Tell Their Family a Story

If you can tell the physicians family a great story about the opportunity, you are more likely to have the candidate say "yes". Talk about why your current physicians love the schools, the dining, the shopping, the recreational activities in the area, and why quality of life is so high. This quite often is more important to the candidate and their family than compensation or advancement opportunities.  


Consider the Millennials

Millennials think a little differently than older candidates. They often have demands for work/life balances and require more flexibility than experienced physicians. Millennials are much more motivated by having "fun" at work than older healthcare professionals. Tell your story in a way that will appeal to your younger candidates and you will find success. 

The Hire Connection is a premier medical recruiting firm that is well known for matching qualified physicians with employers and healthcare providers. We can "Tell Your Story" for you in an effective and financially efficient way for your next opportunity. Give us a call and we will tell you "Our Story"!
