Top Methods for Finding Healthcare Talent

Today’s successful healthcare staff searches often start in collaboration with reputable training facilities and academic institutions. It can be a mutually beneficial situation for healthcare facilities to find top students and provide opportunities they already seek.

Here are some ways to acquire new healthcare talent this year and beyond.

Use the Train-and-Hire Model

While traditionally, healthcare facilities have hired professionals already trained and often experienced in their careers, an increasingly common method of gaining new staff is to provide individuals with education opportunities and then fill open positions with this newly trained talent. Known as the train-and-hire method, it means the hospital, doctor’s office or other facility would partner with a training organization, like MedCerts, to bring in fresh, untapped talent.

If you are willing to help students gain experience while studying for certifications, you’ll likely find loyal, motivated individuals for your staff. If you have them sign up for remote learning, their training will be fresh and cutting-edge.

Find an Academic Partner

Collaboration with a training facility is best when you work with one academic partner rather than try to foster relationships with many different ones. MedCerts is an online training center for healthcare professionals that is dedicated to bridging the gap between students and employers. When their students are hired, everyone wins.

Participate in Apprenticeship Programs

Imagine having a consistent stream of recently trained professionals interested in playing a part in the healthcare industry. That’s basically how apprenticeship programs work. An academic institution such as MedCerts can supply your employees, and you’ll pay them as they finalize their training with clinical experience.

When the new professional becomes fully prepared and certified, you’ll already know if they’re a good fit for your team and be that much closer to having a full healthcare staff.

Train Your Current Employees

Another popular option for human resource professionals and leaders is to conduct upskilling and reskilling for current employees. Since you already know the strengths of your team members, you’ll know who is ready to advance their career to fill your gaps. When you work with MedCerts, you can develop internal talent and have them ready to go in as little as four to six weeks.
