Anyone who works in healthcare is well aware of the shortage of nurses in the United States. According to leading consulting company Mckinsey & Company “by 2025, we estimate the United States may have a gap of between 200,000 to 450,000 nurses available for direct patient care, equating to a 10 to 20 percent gap.” https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/industries\/healthcare-systems-and-services\/our-insights\/assessing-the-lingering-impact-of-covid-19-on-the-nursing-workforce<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the above stats point out many Health systems struggle to keep open with lack of nurses. This resulted in a very large Southeast Health system contacting me to help them fill their massive need for nurses. For this 1 client I did many recruitment projects and initiatives, the biggest being a massive project of hiring 200 nurses in only 120 days for one of their biggest regions. This following case study will explain in detail how I was successfully able to hire 200 nurses in only 120 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the leader tasked with hiring 200 RN’s in only 120 days, I cannot take full credit for this herculean sized project. It took a huge effort and teamwork of many different stakeholders’ cooperation for the project to work. Below is a list of the stakeholders I worked with to ensure the project would be a success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The more critical group to ensure the project would be a success was the C-suite of the hospital system There was some pre-buy in as these executives had heard I had already hired 100 nurses in 100 days for another division within their health system. There were still doubts that we could almost double the results. Also, if it would be a worthwhile investment in terms of ROI for such a huge recruitment project. To get the buy-in of the executives I presented a detailed plan on how it would be possible to achieve the goal of hiring 200 nurses in 120 days, which the C-suite agreed to. That strategy included the following: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this key step it was explained in much detail to CNO’s, Nurse manager and Director in the region that they would need to hire fast. It was explained that longer decisions to hire could result in nurses taking offers from other hospitals. For this strategy the following recommendations were made and agreed upon by nurse leadership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In total these recommendations cut between 9 to 18 business days from the hiring process and resulted in losing less candidates in the hiring process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recruitment team for this project had to also work fast like nurse leadership with very strict SLA’s which included the following agreed upon recommendations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In total these recommendations cut between 2 to 6 business days from the hiring process and resulted in losing less candidates in the hiring process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My team, the sourcing team, was tasked with direct sourcing nurses both locally and across the US. It was calculated that in order to hire 200 Nurses we would need to do the following ratios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sourcing team used the following key sourcing tools and techniques in order to contact 8800 nurses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
