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

 

The Challenge

Our partner required additional recruiting support for their hard-to-fill roles, while their internal team focused on hiring for many high-volume positions. One of the more difficult roles to hire for our partner was that of CRNAs, and they were forced to use costly agencies and CRNA travelers to meet their system's needs. Our partner had not successfully hired a CRNA in over two years due to the difficulty of sourcing in their location.

Our Solution

After working with our partner for about 8 months, they asked our team to take on hiring for their CRNA roles. 

We applied tactics from our Travel Nurse Reduction Program and assigned a dedicated recruiter to focus on CRNA requisitions. Our approach included:  

  • Introducing innovative sourcing strategies tailored to these roles
  • Collaborating closely with hiring managers to generate referrals
  • Utilizing advanced tools and technology to find qualified candidates, including optimizing job descriptions for SEO and leveraging Indeed PPC

Our Results

In the first 4.5 months of exclusively managing the CRNA requisitions, our recruiter successfully made 7 CRNA hires (6 external and 1 internal). These hires enabled our partner to terminate some of their CRNA traveler contracts, resulting in savings of over 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!"
