In our last blog entry, we discussed 2 of the ways to attract anesthesiologists and CRNAs to your permanent positions faster will continue with the last 3 in this one: Working Interview Provision, Consistency, and Responsiveness:
Working Interview Provision
Having a working interview available for the right candidate offers many advantages. First, it helps to improve retention and mitigate the risk of making the wrong hiring decision by having the opportunity to observe firsthand how the candidate interacts with your clinical and administrative staff at your facility. Second, it opens your opportunity up to a wider pool of candidates who only consider opportunities that will allow them to do a trial or working interview before accepting the fulltime position. Third, it allows the hospital an opportunity to either make a modest profit or have net zero cost, if there is enough work available, since the hospital will most likely have the ability to bill for the services rendered by the candidate.
Consistency
It is very important that the position lists the same specifications and pay everywhere the position is advertised. It is not only confusing, but also can breed distrust in the validity of the opportunity when it is being advertised at different amounts of compensation, benefits, schedule, call, etc. This stands true regardless if one ad is through a recruiter and the other is direct.
