Back in May, we launched our first online clinic for healthcare recruiting called Self-Service Retained Search.
 
The concept was pretty simple:
 
Globetrotting online search and sourcing guru – and one of our RCI Center of Excellence practice leaders I might add — Shally Steckerl hosted a really informative 90-minute session with a handful of healthcare recruiters who had difficult positions to recruit for: speech language pathologists in rural communities, Director-level Neurological Nursing professionals in Middle-America, bilingual pharmacists in the southeast, physical therapists in “where!” – you know, the kind of jobs that seem impossible to source for.
 
We made a simple proposal, rather than commit to paying an upfront fee for a retained search or running ads for these positions, a limited number of recruiters could log on for a practical step-by-step tutorial, that walked them through some advanced deep web mining techniques which resulted in actual leads and resumes for the positions being recruited for. These leads included everything from contact information and work history to the physical location of similar sources actually plotted out on a map!

Each participating employer could bring as many people to the event as they could comfortably accommodate around the table. The cost of the clinic was $1590.00 which in some cases worked out to around $53.00 per lead. What’s more, if any of the participating members didn’t think the session was worth every penny, they could have the price of admission refunded in full.

Well, no one asked for their money back and we don’t expect any of those attending the next clinic on Thursday, August 30th at 1:30 EST to ask for their money back either.

What are you going to be doing on August 30th? Do you want to be one of the organizations submitting your impossible-to-source reqs? If so, contact me to submit your positions ahead of time and start recruiting immediately once the session is done. Most importantly, you’ll know how to do it for the impossible-to-source positions in the future .

Cost: $1590.00 per position submitted for sourcing/lead-generation. Want some?
