Time-to-Place
The best staffing agencies are having time-to-place challenges in healthcare, an industry where talent is scarce and demand is on the rise. For example, recent analysis finds that the unemployment rate among RNs is at a miniscule 0.4 percent — that’s about seven times lower than the national average.
As healthcare organizations struggle to attract and hire top talent, their reliance on staffing agencies is growing. Lowering your time-to-place — without sacrificing the quality of your placements — can help an agency stand out in a crowded field and win more business. But decreasing time-to-place is a complex undertaking that requires a strategic approach.
Chances are, your time-to-place problem is characterized by one or more of these underlying conditions:
- Ultra-competitive labor markets
- Poor employer brand, or lack thereof
- Slow and inefficient order intake
- Lack of visibility into spend efficiency
Risk Mitigation
Amiga plays an important role in connecting qualified talent to the hospitals, healthcare providers, and senior living facilities that need them most. But, unlike staffing in other industries, the results of a poor placement can potentially be deadly and have legal ramifications. Understanding this, Amiga can put numerous safeguards in place to avoid such risks.
Credential validation, clinical competency assessments, and skills checklists all help recruiters do their jobs more efficiently without sacrificing quality or opening their agencies to risk. However, unless you have the right technology powering these capabilities, tasks like validating credentials or assessing important clinical competencies become time-consuming and inefficient.
When this happens, recruiters can feel overwhelmed and start taking shortcuts that could put the agency at risk. Chances are, your qualified talent risk mitigation challenge is characterized by these underlying conditions
- Lack of credential validation, clinical competency assessment, or skillset verification technology
- Spending too much time matching talent to reqs with too much room for error
- An inability to get qualified talent through onboarding efficiently, leading to incomplete paperwork and potential legal issues
Data & Benchmarks
The Issues:
Order intake happens outside our talent tracking system. Our temp staff doesn’t have the ability to provide their shift availability in our scheduling system. We validate skillsets and competencies in a different system than we use to track worker profiles, adding an extra step to the process.
The Amiga Source Way:
Amiga gathers a wide range of data and information when they evaluate candidates and make placements. If, however, these critical insights are housed in disparate systems, it can be difficult for recruiters to pull it all together efficiently and accurately. At Amiga we believe that data should be a tool, not a chore. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for recruiters to get the information they need, fast and from within a single system
