Do you want to cast a wider recruiting net?
That’s where a medical staffing agency steps in. From travel contracts to permanent placements in nursing, healthcare management, and the allied health industry, a good agency can find the right candidate for the right position.
But not all staffing agencies are the same. It matters who you partner with within the hiring process. We’ve outlined 4 key attributes of a solid staffing agency.
4 Benefits of Hiring the Right Staffing Agency
1.Substantial Database of Candidates
You may be contemplating a partnership with a medical staffing agency because you’ve run into some roadblocks in the recruitment process. One of the biggest struggles for independent healthcare agencies is finding the right candidate for the job without having to settle for semi-qualified candidates. When recruiting is totally dependent on your job posting efforts, your reach can be limited.
So, would you settle for an agency whose candidate pool is also stagnant? Of course not!
When choosing a medical staffing partner, ask about the size of their database and how they screen candidates. This should give you a good indication of their bandwidth and allow you to determine if their database exceeds your current hiring efforts and meets your needs.
Hero Medical Staffing LLC provides staffing solutions for travel allied health contracts, permanent placement, and locum tenens. Our team of seasoned recruiters places hundreds of travel healthcare workers each month.
2. Competitive Benefits for Travel Health Professionals
When it comes to hiring temporary positions, some employers are cautious, worrying that these short-term workers won’t blend well with the existing staff, won’t be invested in the success of the team, or will resent not having the same advantages as long-term employees.
When considering these scenarios, it’s important to remember that those who apply for travel contracts want to explore new places and get to know new people. They thrive off building new relationships and having friendships across the country. Starting a new job, albeit a short-term one, is not daunting, but exhilarating to them. In fact, you may find that these travel health professionals bring renewed energy to your team and fresh eyes for your facility.
Regarding benefits, it’s imperative to partner with a medical staffing agency that offers a competitive package for those carrying out travel contracts. This will doubly ensure that morale is boosted and relationships between internal and contract staff thrive.
3. Streamlined Hiring Process

First, healthcare and medical professionals appreciate being matched to an opportunity that meets their qualifications and career goals rather than independently searching for their next healthcare job. Second, they know that well-established medical staffing agencies have partnerships with sought-after healthcare systems that would otherwise be difficult to get a foot in the door.
