Attracting top-tier talent is crucial for any successful facility or hospital, especially when it comes to hiring nurses.
Nurse recruitment continues to be a sore spot for the Healthcare industry, post-COVID. The 2022 NSI National Health Care Retention & RN Staffing Report says the average cost of turnover for one staff RN is $46,100, up 15% from 2020. This cost can be mitigated by providing more detailed and transparent job descriptions, and nothing provides detail and transparency quite like a video.
Why Video for Recruitment?
Videos are easy to share and consume quickly, which means they receive more traction on social media than text- or image-only posts. Text-based job descriptions do little to convey the priorities and culture of a workplace. A recruitment video not only immediately establishes a connection with the hiring team and leadership, but also attracts the attention of professionals who could make a huge impact with both staff and patients.
5 Tips For Successful Recruitment Videos
- Be authentic! The way you present yourself and your facility will determine the types of candidates you’ll attract.
- Transparency will help ensure you hire the right fit for the position. Don’t be afraid to talk about the good and the bad.
- Express what makes your organization unique. Share your mission statement and what that mission means to you.
- Highlight special employees, especially any that the applicant would be expected to work with or report to.
- Empathize about the job search. It’s just as (if not more) stressful for applicants as it is for recruiters.
