This Easy Solution Is Why Your Competitors Can Hire Faster

We’ve talked extensively about changes to healthcare delivery brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. In order to reduce the spread of the virus and protect communities as well as essential frontline workers, healthcare providers have drastically reduced the amount of face-to-face contact between staff and those seeking treatment.

This new approach has been managed in effective - and sometimes innovative - ways, but primarily through the increased use of telephone and online consultations between clinicians and patients. 

There has also been a massive increase in the use of interactive health monitoring apps since the beginning of the pandemic, with continued growth predicted in this market for the coming year. There’s no doubt about it: the age of virtual healthcare is no longer rapidly approaching, it’s already upon us.

What effect does this have on healthcare recruitment?

As in almost all other industries, we’re witnessing a major shift towards virtual technologies in the field of healthcare recruitment. Recruiters can no longer rely on first, second, even third rounds of face-to-face interviews, with interview panels consisting of clinical and HR staff present to question and assess the suitability of multiple prospective candidates. What’s more, the Covid-19 pandemic has taught us that in the event of a sudden and massive increase in demand for healthcare services, it’s essential that providers have a robust infrastructure in place to recruit and on-board staff:

• Quickly: eliminating lengthy delays often incurred when credential-checking
• Cheaply: without incurring additional agency costs every time, and 
• Reliably: Ensuring that all necessary steps are taken to ensure CQC compliance.
