Like any other business, recruitment is prone to ups and downs. One of the downs that will be significantly highlighted in this article is a challenge every recruiter faces: handling problems brought about by Healthcare providers during the recruitment process.
From my four years of healthcare recruitment experience, I have seen and experienced a lot. This ranges from the market dynamics change to handling several healthcare providers and working with them directly. It has been fun and challenging at the same time, I treasure the experiences that all come with it.
The recruitment process has various steps, but the initial process dramatically matters. This involves screening a candidate for a specific position. To avoid conflicts, a recruiter must provide adequate information about the position they are about to submit a candidate. This includes accurate information on the location, shift, pay details, and general expectations of the assignment. This will ensure the candidate is well informed and agrees to the terms and conditions before being sent to the manager. Again, this will minimize the cases where the candidate backs out upon offer, citing that they were not informed about the requirements.
Proper interaction with healthcare providers is also an essential factor. It involves always being there for them and taking care of their needs as soon as possible. This will ensure they feel valued and appreciated and can rely on their recruiter. Taking care of them well will also earn the recruiter loyalty with the HCA.
