How One Health System Filled Their Open Positions in Under 30 Days

Hiring challenges the organization faced

A four-hospital health system, part of a large national organization, located in San Jose, California needed a better solution for recruiting and onboarding registered nurses and nurse practitioners. Like many other hospitals, they were exceeding 70 days to fill open positions. The situation was especially difficult in Northern California where the competition is fierce and the cost of living high. The slow process and competitive market translated to a higher cost per hire, along with increasing overtime and traveler costs for the hospitals.

The solution Incredible Health provided

The health system chose to partner with Incredible Health to reduce inefficiencies, shorten the recruiting and hiring process, and improve results. Using its advanced automation, data and recruiting technology, Incredible Health was able to sort through thousands of candidate data points to more effectively screen and identify the best matches for both the hospitals and the registered nurses.

The organization saw results in under 30 days

The results have been quick and substantial. It took only 30 minutes to train and set up new users on the Incredible Health platform. Because the platform is candidate-centric, it presents the health system only nurses who are actively looking, reducing time they previously wasted targeting any nurse in a particular region. The health system’s recruitment team was able to hire new candidates within the first few days of using Incredible Health, including high-profile positions like trauma coordinators, emergency department supervisors, and labor and delivery staff nurses.

Other achievements Include:

  • 10% of open positions filled
  • 30 days or less to fill open positions
  • 50% reduction in cost to hire
  • Positive ROI

The health system was pleased with Incredible Health’s ability to dramatically reduce hiring costs, overtime, and traveler costs. They were also impressed by the high quality of candidates and customer service delivered by Incredible Health.

5 Creative Ways People Have Connected in Light of COVID-19

With COVID-19 confining many to their homes, people have had to get creative with their celebrations, announcements, and expressions of love. As elderly populations are especially vulnerable to the virus, nursing homes have been hit hardest with orders to quarantine. Many have made the decision to ban visits as they work to protect their residents. But social distance can’t keep these folks from showing up for their loved ones. We’ve collected the most viral stories of people expressing love in the time of coronavirus to help spread a little joy.

A photo of the two has been shared over 240,000 times since care facility worker Sandy Hamiliton shared the touching moment on her facebook page. 

2. Woman Announces Engagement to Grandfather in Isolation

4. Husband and Wife Celebrate Their 67th Anniversary

In a romantic gesture, Shellard stood on the lawn of his wife’s nursing home with a sign that read “I’ve loved you 67 years and still do. Happy Anniversary.” His wife, who could see the sign through her window, blew kisses in response. She told nursing home staff the gesture made her “feel like a queen.”
