Hueman RPO Saves Partner $610K by Eliminating CRNA Travelers

Our Partner: One of New York's premier academic medical systems providing healthcare services for more than 2 million patients

The Challenge

Our partner needed additional recruiting support for their hard-to-fill roles, while their internal team focuses on hiring for many of the volume roles. One of the more difficult to hire roles for our partner has been CRNAs, and they have been forced to use costly agencies and CRNA travelers to meet their systems needs. 

Our Solution

After working with our partner for about 8 months, they asked our team to take on hiring for their CRNA roles. For some perspective on the level of difficulty sourcing CRNAs in their location, our partner had not been able to make a CRNA hire in over 2 years. Based on this level of difficulty, we had one of our recruiters focus on the CRNA requisitions leveraging the following:  

• Bringing new ideas to the focused sourcing for these roles
• Collaborating with the hiring managers to elicit referrals
• Leveraging new tools and technology to find qualified candidates from Indeed seats to optimizing job descriptions for SEO, and Indeed PPC.  

Our Results

In the first 4 1/2 months of exclusively owning the CRNA requisitions, our recruiter has made 7 CRNA hires (6 external and 1 internal). These hires have enabled our partner to eliminate some of their CRNA traveler contracts, resulting in a savings of over a half a million dollars. 

“Filling 6 CRNA positions so quickly has made a tremendous difference and has saved the organization a tremendous amount of money. We are very grateful to the recruiter. Keep up the great work!"
