You thought you found the perfect candidate, only to realize during the in-person interview that they don’t meet the standards set by their resume. Recruiting can be a struggle at times, with repeated cycles of attract, interview and offer — or decline. 

However, it’s important to find the right candidate for the job to ensure strong business operations and maintain a positive company culture. This is where modern strategies can shine. Modern recruiting puts a new spin on IT and healthcare staffing solutions, bridging the divide and bringing employers and employees together.

Recruiting: Traditional vs. Modern Strategies

In decades past, recruiting was fairly straightforward. You might place a job ad on a job board or in the classified section of the newspaper, or you could contact a local employment office or temp agency. You’d then begin sorting resumes to identify the candidates to interview in person. 

All of these strategies have their place, and some can be effective in the right markets. But overall, a changing world with global connections needs a modern approach. 

Modern recruiting enhances traditional recruitment strategies, helping you find candidates with the skills your organization needs. Today, you’re more likely to succeed with strategies like the following:

• Artificial intelligence (AI): AI has become a common strategy for screening candidates, along with matching them to job vacancies. This technology can help you analyze key skills and see which candidates might need more training to meet your requirements.
• Mobile recruiting: Have you ever reached out to candidates via social media? You’re not alone. In fact, 98% of surveyed recruiting brands use platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook to connect with potential candidates. Mobile recruiting also includes apps, text recruiting and location-specific job ads. 
• Strategic partnerships: When you work with a partner like MedCerts Partner Solutions, you benefit from consistent education and proven skills. Whether through an apprenticeship, talent pool database or other model, partnerships are one of the best ways to get the right people for the job.
• Train-and-hire models: A subset of strategic partnerships, train-and-hire models ensure your chosen candidates receive full training and arrive prepared to work. You can specify the skills, identify your conditional hires and let the academic institution get them up to speed. These models focus your efforts and keep costs targeted.

Setting Up a MedCerts Partnership

MedCerts Partner Solutions brings a targeted approach to how to recruit talent in healthcare and IT. By collaborating with MedCerts, your workforce remains strong and fully skilled no matter what career stage they’re in. 

The first step to a MedCerts partnership is to work with the Partner Solutions team to identify your healthcare and IT staffing needs. If you’re looking for immediate support, you can tap into MedCerts students through the Career Center database, where skilled graduates are ready to join your team. 

For targeted partnerships without urgent vacancies, you could set up the MedCerts Train-and-Hire model. With MedCerts managing recruiting and screening, you’ll only need to focus on interviewing the top candidates. Then, each candidate enters the training program — which varies from 3 to 6 months, graduating with the critical skills your organization needs.
