Frequently asked questions about healthcare IT recruiting
To nexus IT group, placement is an art—one that requires the proper alignment of talent with opportunity, experience with need, personality with environment, and aspirations with value. The Healthcare IT sector is a fast-paced, highly competitive recruiting environment that offers significant opportunities for candidates. Our full-cycle recruiting system is a 51-step touchpoint process from start to finish. Our engagement process starts with a discovery call to understand the needs of the role. With this series of questions, our healthcare IT recruiters are able to build a sales cadence that we will use to deploy a multi-touch recruiting approach precisely and accurately to hundreds of candidates that fit the expectations of the role. Once our targeted search is executed, we spend a series of 3 calls to get to know the candidates’ needs, wants, and future career interests. Once we’ve created a shortlist of qualified and fully vetted candidates, we will deliver our top 2 to 3 candidates to the healthcare IT hiring manager. Once the interview process starts, we work with the candidate and the hiring team to make sure communication is responsive and transparent. Once a candidate is placed, we stay in touch with the placed candidate for 2 years just to see how things are going.
Our candidate sourcing can be described in 3 words: Identify. Engage. Toolstack. Typically, the best job prospects are those who are passive. This indicates that they are not actively seeking employment. As a result, they are not surfing the Internet in search of online job postings. And because they are not viewing online job postings, we have developed a robust and 100% outbound recruiting strategy. We begin our sourcing strategy by creating a candidate persona. Once we have successfully created the candidate persona, we will then create a content strategy that will attract top talent in the healthcare IT space. Once we’ve developed our cadence, we will use a number of sources to scour the web to get our message in front of the right candidates. Strategies include searching our database, sourcing for referrals, sourcing from specific organizations, LinkedIn, Meetup, Angel List, Dice, alumni boards, and many other niche sites. We craft highly personalized messages that drive above-industry reply rates. Our recruiting strategy is to begin conversations with passive candidates to learn about their future career interests, needs, and wants and align those needs with future openings with a high-touch approach.
Quality of Hire is very important for nexus IT group and our healthcare IT recruiting team. Currently our healthcare IT recruiters hold a 96.08% quality of hire ratio. This is measured by any contractor who successfully completes their contract, and/or a direct placement candidate who is at our client for at least 6 months of duration.
Currently our 1-year retention rate with our healthcare IT clients is running right at 96.2%
The healthcare IT hiring space is fast-paced, so our team of healthcare IT recruiters are trained to work swiftly. The time required to send qualified candidates to the healthcare IT hiring manager varies on the position you are seeking to fill and the challenges we will face such as lower than market compensation, bonus concerns, slow feedback, onsite expectations, etc. We can deliver applicants on the day of contract signing, within a few days, or within a few weeks.
We’ve spent a great deal of time in early-stage recruiting and have had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with a number of innovative healthcare technology companies and leaders. From our perspective, healthcare IT represents the future of patient care and health system efficiency, and we are major believers and investors in healthcare technology. However, recruiting for emerging healthcare IT firms presents a distinct set of challenges unique to the intersection of healthcare and technology.
Healthcare IT recruiters specialize in a specific market sector. Every day, our healthcare IT recruiters contact a specialized set of healthcare technology candidates. When starting a new search, our team has a pool of personally-known candidates to call immediately. The point is that specialized healthcare IT recruiters sprint out of the gate more effectively than staffing firms that go back to the drawing board for each search.
When employers receive a resume from a healthcare IT recruiting firm, there is a high probability that they are familiar with the individual. Our clients trust that we have thoroughly screened the candidate over a series of multiple conversations, and that they will be worth the hiring manager’s time to interview.
Another benefit of using a specialized healthcare IT recruiting firm is you will experience less of a “resume broker” relationship and more of a “sector expert.” We spend countless hours every day conversing with healthcare IT prospects and healthcare technology employers, making us more “in the know” about the healthcare IT space. Healthcare IT recruiters can provide insight into the landscape of healthcare technology employment, equity, current pay, and the most recent candidate challenges.
Ultimately, healthcare IT recruiters have access to a concentrated pool of candidates, resulting in increased efficiency during the hiring process and the ability to establish long-lasting relationships with the industry’s top talent.
Though we have several different practice areas such as government IT staffing, digital marketing staffing, private equity staffing, devops staffing, cloud staffing, data science staffing, and software development staffing, our healthcare IT recruiters are hyper-focused on clients in the healthcare technology space. Our healthcare IT recruiting team has successfully worked with clients ranging from budding startups to Fortune 50 healthcare organizations.
Whether you’re recruiting for an Epic Analyst, Healthcare Data Analyst, EHR Implementation Specialist, Clinical Informatics Specialist, Health Information Manager, Healthcare Systems Analyst, HIPAA Compliance Officer, or HL7 Integration Engineer—our recruiting solutions have you covered. Our hires range from just about anything you can imagine that a company would need when hiring healthcare IT talent—including leadership roles like Chief Medical Information Officer (CMIO), VP of Health IT, Director of Clinical Informatics, and many more—with a niche focus in healthcare IT staffing.
Our healthcare IT recruiters use a series of stages to make sure we minimize candidate fall out during the recruiting cycle. Our recruiters will perform an in-depth conversation where they work to uncover the needs, wants and desires of their next career move. We ask candidates specific skillset questions. If the team feels that there’s a fit then another person from our team will speak with the candidate. If the 2 nexus reps feel that there’s a good fit then we ask the candidate to complete a 4-question feedback form so we can better understand if the role is a good or great fit. Once we receive the candidate’s feedback then we will perform a “Lockdown” conversation where we ask a series of questions around counteroffers, interview stages, target salary expectations, and much more. If this goes well then we will submit the candidate for client review.
First, it is incredibly difficult for healthcare IT hiring managers with little time to receive responses to job ads. Second, an increasing number of professionals do not respond to recruiters, particularly in the healthcare IT field. They prefer to hear directly from senior healthcare IT leadership, which brings us to the third challenge: recruitment is a full-time, highly specialized profession for which healthcare IT hiring managers do not have time.
Our healthcare IT recruiting fee is 22% to 25% of the candidate’s first year base salary. We do our best to find a payment structure that works best for your team.
Our healthcare IT recruiters are paid by the companies for which they place candidates. Your recruiter does earn a commission if you are hired, but the commission is paid by the company that hires you. Our recruiting fee isn’t taken out of your salary, and it doesn’t lower the salary that you would be offered. Another misconception is that if you are presented by a recruiter, and another candidate is not, that you would be at a disadvantage because you have a fee associated with you getting that role. In our experience companies are seeking the best person for the job, and they are not concerned about a fee being paid at that point. In fact, candidates that work with recruiters actually tend to make more than those who job hunt alone.
