Challenge
Humanitas Health Services is a start-up hospice agency whose main need was finding the right talent and retention. Humanitas was looking for talent that would help them achieve their goals of getting the company off the ground. They were looking for serious candidates who were seeking a long-term position. Humanitas had difficulties searching for good people, especially because they were not entirely sure of who they needed and when. Additionally, Humanitas was looking for the most cost-effective way of finding the right candidates– they found that the recruitment process can become time-consuming and challenging. Humanitas reached out to SAFREST for help with their recruitment needs.
Solution
SAFREST went to work right away, sourcing and recruiting candidates for Humanitas Health Services. The placement process was fast and clear, and all expectations were clearly managed from the beginning of the search to the end. SAFREST and Humanitas collaborated in a professional manner, and SAFREST was respectful of Humanitas’ time.
All key positions were filled by SAFREST which included the Medical Director, Director of Clinical Services, Alternative Director of Clinical Services, and a Social Worker.
Results
The advice and help Humanitas received from SAFREST exceeded the hospice’s expectations they had for a recruitment service. Without the right staff at the right time, they would not have been able to achieve their objectives. SAFREST’s services reduced recruitment costs significantly for the hospice as well. SAFREST provided organization and helpful insight as well and showed that they understood the agency’s recruitment needs.
What is your advice to others who might be considering our service?
“Try it. You will understand quickly the difference between the personal touch SAFREST provides vs their competitors and if you are doing this yourself, you will quickly realize that the cost of your time to do this right will outweigh the fee coming from SAFREST.”
If you have used other recruitment services in the past, how did they compare to us?
“No comparison. The advice and guidance from SAFREST and Leo were invaluable. By knowing the industry they became a trusted advisor in all my staffing needs. The pricing is very reasonable as well.”
