The Challenge

This top-ranked New York health system needed to fill numerous clinical leadership roles without relying on contingent or retained recruitment agencies. The goal was to manage the entire medical staff recruitment effort in-house, controlling costs and maintaining quality. These high-impact roles required experienced leaders in nursing, advanced practice, and departmental oversight, demanding a targeted healthcare recruitment strategy that could compete with national healthcare executive search firms. In a competitive talent market, the system needed fast, flexible staffing support that delivered results without sacrificing candidate quality.

 

Our Approach

To meet urgent clinical leadership recruitment goals, we deployed a lean, tech-enabled RPO model, delivering cost-effective results with a two-person team and deep candidate engagement powered by healthcare-specific sourcing tools.

Targeted Leadership Sourcing

Using our CRM of 2M+ healthcare professionals, we segmented and sourced clinical leaders by specialty, experience, and geography. This allowed us to quickly identify nurse managers, department heads, and APP leaders aligned with the system’s goals.

 

Personalized Outreach Campaigns

Our clinical sourcer led targeted outreach using personalized messaging to highlight the health system’s reputation, leadership opportunities, and impact potential, boosting engagement from high-performing candidates across competitive markets.

Full-Cycle Healthcare Recruitment

With just one recruiter and one sourcer, we delivered direct hire support across the entire system. We streamlined interview coordination, improved candidate experience, and aligned with department leaders to ensure rapid decision-making and cultural fit.

 

Leadership Hires. No Agencies.

In just 18 months, our team filled 77 clinical leadership roles across multiple service lines, without using contingent staffing or outside search firms. With only a recruiter and a sourcer, we built trusted pipelines for nursing leaders, APP managers, and departmental supervisors. By keeping all recruitment in-house, the health system maintained full control and avoided more than $3.4 million in agency fees, while strengthening long-term retention and building leadership stability.
