At this time we don’t utilize any HR Metrics. I keep some information in spreadsheets but have not analyzed it. I track outside advertising (job postings) costs, but other than informing our CFO of our expenses, we don’t have a budget. High dollar advertising costs are simply approved by our Director or CFO.
I could do a time to fill report, but have not had time to analyze the data I do track. The spreadsheet I maintain includes the date at which a job is opened; the applicants’ status in the hiring process; how they heard about the job; and the hired employee’s start date. I do the best I can in obtaining accurate data, but it is time consuming to maintain a spreadsheet rather than utilizing an Applicant Tracking System.Our HR Director wears many hats. He’s actually the HR Director, a clinic Site Manager, and Business Development Director. I handle all of the Human Resources day-to-day functions. He oversees the department from a high-level and handles the majority of the recruiting for Providers. (I’m still learning.)
We work with community members by maintaining relationships with area schools. We offer clinical rotations for students with local ties and participate in local recruiting or speaking events.
We attend events hosted by the state or regional healthcare associations and/or state workforce center. These groups are interested in helping us find solutions to our healthcare recruitment difficulties.
We coordinate personalized tours of the area in order to attract candidates with the amenities and recreational opportunities available. Our partners could include resort owners, administrative staff, high schools and churches as well.Our challenge is coordinating schedules for interviews and meet and greets between our providers (who are involved in the interviewing process), administration, and the candidates. The candidates schedule may be limited based on their current employment schedule, or their location if they are not local.
The question I get the most information from is, “Give me a little background on what you’ve done and what you’re doing now.”
Another one of my favorite questions is, “Why do you feel this position is right for you?”
