Human Resources: Applications Are Online- Now What?

Driving all candidates to on-line applications was billed as the one advancement in healthcare recruiting which was going to transform the process. No more paper applications to be lost, copied or transported. Inputting massive amounts of information was to be a thing of the past and the promised efficiencies were staggering. Now, with 82% of all healthcare delivery systems, with virtually all applications on-line, has the promise been delivered? Well, no. Thousands of applications are going un-reviewed each year and many times the process is even slower. In this webinar, learn how to take control of the on-line process and how to work it in your favor. Delivering on the promise is still possible if you understand how the process should work from the candidates’ view as opposed to the view of Human Resources.

With the advent of on-line applications within healthcare delivery systems, came the promise of efficiencies and the ability to free recruiters from mountains of paper. But the promises have not been delivered. It is not that the technology has not been harnessed, but rather because the process reflects what Human Resources think they need as opposed to what is best for the applicant which has left the system broken.

Applications are too long and generally reflect the previous paper application. Filters are not being implemented and recruiters are overwhelmed with unqualified applicants. No one is getting back to applicants and thousands are not being reviewed. This insults the applicant, undermines both recruitment and retention and the consequences are growing more serious as Generation Y—the I want in now generation—becomes the largest and most sought after group.

In this session you will learn:

How to manage the five steps of recruitment so you can ensure the best hire and build a strong platform for engagement and retention.
What is needed to make sure all the applications are reviewed and sourced.
How to build a system that allows for 24-hour turnaround time.
How to control the process so the decision is yours and not the applicant who has hung around in the system long enough to get the offer.
How to work your budget so you never place an ad for a position when qualified candidates are sitting in your system. Don’t ask for more candidates if you don’t have time to screen the ones you have.
How to develop the return on investment business plan so you can speak the language of senior management.
