There are various fields and positions within the healthcare industry, as well as a constant cycle of change. The changes occur within system processes, procedures, policies and technology, often changing the way we work and our workforce models. As a healthcare recruiter<\/a>, it\u2019s critical to stay current with the field and industry changes to ensure optimal chances of hiring top-notch candidates for your departments. A couple relativity simple ways to stay current in industry and field news are through rounding, reading and shadowing<\/b>.

1. Define a Scheduled Time For Your Rounding Session<\/strong>. If you don\u2019t already have a rounding schedule with your hiring managers, you should!\u00a0Rounding sessions are pre-planned meetings. where a set of questions asked of the recruiters and then discussion from that point about upcoming changes that will impact staffing.\u00a0I\u2019ve tried impromptu rounding sessions, however defining a meeting time schedule with your hiring managers<\/a> is the most effective. The commitment to meeting every quarter will ensure the meeting occurs, and more importantly, the communication occurs. Rounding is a simple, fairly quick and highly effective process to keep the lines of collaboration and communication open.<\/p>\n

2. Ensure the industry content you select to read is valuable and reliable.\u00a0<\/b>Reading is another simple and excellent way to stay current in the field and industry news. This method also offers a great deal of flexibility, because you can read this information at any time of day. Start with industry and field related societies, associations and affiliated organizations. Follow well-respected bloggers in the subject matter of interest, or Google the topic to find industry and field trending news. I suggest building this into your rounding scheduled. A great process is to read the information prior to your rounding session. This will impress your hiring manager and help lead a meaningful dialogue.<\/p>\n

3. Shadowing is another method to learn about the positions in a detailed and realistic way<\/b>. While this is a more time demanding method, it does offer the recruiter<\/a> first hand knowledge of the position they are recruiting for. Shadow positions as they become available or complete a mini-shadow session of the entire department. The significance of changes to the positions involved will determine your time frequency of shadowing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a perfect world, a recruiter would round with leaders daily, attend conferences and seminars regarding the fields for which they recruit and directly shadow every position but we are living in a fast-paced, minute-to-minute work world. The simple methods above will ensure the best possible chances of continuing an open line of communication between the recruiter and hiring manager<\/a> to guarantee the recruiters are adding as much value as possible to the recruitment and selection process.<\/p>\n
