All of our clients are U.S. and Canadian hospitals,
long term care facilities or home care providers.
Our current clients
include facilities who have contracted us to recruit two or three applicants
as well as some who are working with us to recruit
one hundred or more RNs, PTs and other health professionals. We work
with clients of all sizes in urban and rural locations.
While many of
our clients have no experience with international recruitment, we also
work with clients who have used international recruitment in
the past. Perhaps they did not achieve their desired outcomes or they
have come to understand the superior benefits they will achieve using
the HealthStaff recruitment model.
Are any of the following statements true for
you?
“Our recruitment and retention efforts are OK but our vacancies
aren’t really decreasing.”
Another ad in the local paper
is likely to generate a handful of responses at most and there are only
so many job fairs that we can attend, but we need more direct hires.
“Our temp staff and travelers are more permanent than temporary.”
Using
temp staff and travelers helps us with our most urgent needs but we seem
to be using them all the time. Our budget can’t absorb these extra
costs forever.
“We are doing OK now but retirements are increasing and
we are thinking of expanding some programs.”
Our best recruitment and
retention efforts are just keeping up now and our recruitment needs will
soon be increasing.
Clients are likely to be successful working with us if they have the
vision and commitment to embrace a medium to longer term strategy that
can permanently reduce their vacancies as they increase their direct
hires using international recruitment. International recruitment seldom
provides relief to your urgent staffing needs today. However, those who
are overwhelmed by the stress caused by present needs and fail to plan
ahead soon find that their staffing crises of today continues on to the
next month, the next year and beyond.
When you work with us you can expect to see desirable
and sustainable changes.
You now have the ability to consistently increase
your direct hires and you can begin planning to reduce and eliminate
temp staff and travelers. You also have the ability to proactively deal
with future needs. Increasing retirements are a looming fact not to mention
any plans your organization may have to expand its programs or facilities.
Uncompromising ethics have been the bedrock of our recruitment practices
from the day we opened our company. An understanding of, and concern
for the ethical and moral issues related to international recruitment
is only a beginning.
We recruit only in developed countries and in developing
countries that have a surplus of qualified healthcare professionals.
Our
commitment is to respectfully treat each applicant as a professional. That
means we take the time to understand their priorities, provide them
with consistent and reliable advice and never charge them any fees for
the services that we provide to them.
This commitment extends to our clients
as well. Taking the time to understand your needs, doing what we say we
will do, and doing so in ways that are
transparent and accountable at all times are all things we consider to
be business as usual.
Results are what matters. And results are what we guarantee … literally.
The real measure of the success of any recruitment activity is not in the
number of applicants interviewed or evens the number of new hires.
Ultimately it is in how many of those new hires are productive members
of your facility two, three or more years from now.
Our clients pay for results … not for activity … for results! We provide a two year placement guarantee that is without equal in the
recruitment industry. This guarantee is real and not just some marketing
ploy; our recruitment fees are paid in increments over the full two year
guarantee period.
Have you ever used a professional recruitment service and been able to
pay for that service over two years? Well that is exactly what our clients
do.
When you’re looking for an international recruitment agency these
days there are a lot to choose from. What makes WorldWide HealthStaff
Associates Ltd. different from the rest? We think the difference starts
with our principal’s decades of experience in many roles within
healthcare in the United States and Canada. Add to these ten years of
international recruitment experience and you have a recruitment partner
who has been where you are today offering you tried and true recruitment
strategies that work. That is what we think but what our clients think
is even more important. We have many client references and we are always
glad to share these with potential clients.
We offer a broad range of recruitment related services
from a comprehensive program that includes all elements of the international
recruitment process to stand alone professional licensure and immigration
consultation services, a leading edge NCLEX-RN Review Program and international
relocation assistance and international money transfer services.
International Recruitment Program
We provide a one-stop, turn-key service that
includes each of the essential elements of the international recruitment process.
You don’t need to contract separately with a recruitment agency,
an immigration attorney or other consultants. We bring together all of
the required resources and expertise so that you have one point of contact
and one point of accountability throughout the entire recruitment process.
HealthStaff 's comprehensive program includes:
• Client consultation to evaluate whether international recruitment is
even appropriate
• Development of client specific international recruitment plan
• Candidate recruitment
• Candidate screening
• Candidate interviews by the client or by HealthStaff using client specific
criteria
• Professional licensure processing
• Immigration processing
• International candidate settlement and integration support
Licensure & Immigration Consultation - are you ever
contacted by highly qualified international candidates seeking to relocate
to your community and that would
be a great addition to your staff but you don’t where to start when it
comes to the related immigration and licensure issues?
One call to the HealthStaff office is all you need to do. We will
review each case individually and let you know whether the applicant
is a viable candidate. Beyond this we will work with you and the
applicant to facilitate the completion of the immigration and licensure
processes.
There is no cost for the initial applicant evaluation and we will
advise you on various approaches you can use to bring on-board
qualified international applicants that contact you directly.
NCLEX- RN Review Program – We offer a proprietary online
NCLEX ® diagnostic test to prepare internationally educated
RNs for the NCLEX ® licensing exam.
In addition to the convenience of being able to take the online
program on their own schedule, other significant benefits of the
HealthStaff NCELX ® Review program to applicants are:
• It’s highly personalized. Based on the results an
initial diagnostic test, our program automatically produces a detailed
and highly prescriptive study plan so that the nurse makes the
very best use of their study time.
•
It’s Affordable. This is likely the most affordable,
high quality NCLEX® review product in the market right now.
• It saves time and money. Upon completion of the program
the nurse will receive a written assessment of whether they are
actually likely to pass the NCLEX exam or whether they need additional
study. This assessment is based on the applicant’s online
review work and our extensive applicant statistics that we have
compiled with this program. This feature alone could save the nurse
several times the cost of the entire program if they don’t
write NCLEX before they are likely to pass!
International Relocation Assistance Program - to ultimately be
successful every international recruitment effort must provide
the applicant with appropriate relocation support services. This
program provides international professionals moving to the U.S.
access to products and services that are difficult or sometimes
impossible to acquire without an established credit record as new
immigrants in the United States.
• International travel reservations and bookings at the best fares available.
We pay attention to every detail from baggage allowances, special services
for children and ensuring sufficient time to clear U.S. immigration before
catching a connecting flight.
.
• Bank Accounts and Credit Card Opening a U.S. bank
account and obtaining a U.S. credit card without a Social Security Number
and an established
credit record can be daunting not to mention extremely frustrating. We
have partnered with one of the largest international banks with branches
in the U.S. to enable applicants to open accounts and apply for a U.S.
credit card before arriving in the U.S. It’s convenient and provides
the security that comes from having immediate access to bank facilities.
• Automobile lease or purchase. International applicants can arrange
to have a new vehicle waiting for them on their arrival in the U.S. The
U.S. is a very big country and in many locations public transportation
in not available or is not sufficient for persons working all hours of
the day, seven days per week. Finance and lease rates offered are equal
to or better than rates available to well qualified U.S. residents.
• Auto
and Personal Insurance these products may save an applicant $300 - $1,000 per
year. Click here for details.
• International Money Transfer Services one of the
primary reasons many international candidates immigrate to the U.S. is
so that they can return
a portion of their earning to their families in their home country. But
fees for securely sending the money are often high, especially when sending
smaller amounts. We offer a low-cost, secure international money transfer
service. CLICK HERE to request additional information.
Today we are recruiting for employers in twenty three
U.S. States and four Canadian provinces.
Our clients include facilities
and organizations of all sizes including one hundred bed long term care
facilities
in rural communities, district and regional hospitals,
large teaching hospitals and regional and local “chains” with
sites in multiple locations. We are proud to currently
be recruiting for several ‘Magnet Status’ hospitals
in the U.S.
Whether our clients employ a few hundred or many thousands
of staff the common traits that they all share is a clear
understanding of the shortage of workers in their local
markets and a willingness to embrace a medium and longer
term strategy to deal with the staffing shortages they
know will exist for the foreseeable future.
