How to place temp and contract medical staff without the complexities
The healthcare sector is historical - meaning it has a backlog of challenges. It’s also huge, so its challenges are vast and ever evolving. As an incredibly important part of the public conversation there are always changes and new developments that require recruiters to adapt and evolve quickly. In a 2015 government report it was anticipated that two million new workers will need to be trained and recruited into the sector between 2012 and 2022. As we approach the end of that time frame, and with new political promises to recruit even more nurses into the NHS, things are ramping up for healthcare recruitment agencies. However, significant challenges remain regarding attrition, onboarding, attraction, rates management, payrolling and software struggles.
Below we lay out some of the ways Access Recruitment CRM is designed to specifically help recruiters place contract and temp workers with ease and efficiency.
Rate Selection Module
The varying rates that apply to different positions, levels, hospitals, practices and trusts across the entire healthcare system are numerous and complex, which often makes assigning the correct pay a long, arduous process. With our new selection module, you can store as many NHS rate frameworks in one central area as you like, while simply allocating the rate to the candidate’s position or shift pattern. Correct rates are then put through automatically, eliminating the need for timesheet administration and giving consultants more time with their candidates.
Integrating tools
A disconnected recruitment cycle is often one of the biggest blockers to efficiency and smooth processes, which is why so much of our work centers on a joined-up way of working. Access Recruitment CRM allows you to streamline your temp and perm placements with other tools and platforms such as screening, pay and bill and your website, allowing candidates to move seamlessly through application to onboarding.
Compliance assurance
Compliance is never more important than in the healthcare industry. Recruitment agencies have a huge responsibility to make sure they’ve carried out the appropriate checks, and Access Screening covers all compliance needs such as DS/DBS, Right to Work and Referencing. With third-party integration more than 140 checks can be carried out with an easy, fully audible trail for inspections. 80% of reference checks are automated - once again reducing any manual admin and speeding up your time to hire.
Generating candidates
As part of our ongoing dedication to serve the industry, we bring together medical experience and expertise to create highly branded websites, bespoke to healthcare candidates and clients. A campaign or job site effortlessly integrates with Access Recruitment CRM, easily taking applications through to interview and screening stages. With unlimited job posting all your roles are covered, as well as optimizing your reach with SEO and Google for jobs. In addition, a candidate portal creates a unique and enjoyable candidate experience that maintains goodwill and trust among future employees.
The healthcare industry continues to undergo radical changes and updated legislation which shows no sign of slowing down. However, our specifically designed software aims to combat the challenges healthcare recruiters face, creating a process that benefits not just candidates and clients, but the entire industry.
