How to get through Registered Nurses?

My experience recruiting for IT consultants is very different from recruitin for Registered Nurses...with IT consultants you may either call them or by simply posting an add online- you get through them and they start calling you.

WIht healthcare though- speficically nurses..since they work odd shifts and lots of 12 hour shifts...I am not quite sure if they ever find a time to be online to look for jobs..not to mention- there's a lot of jobs for nurses which makes it challenging to recruit one just coz most of them would have jobs already...

So my question to you guys- if you can help me is..apart from cold/diretc calling..what other way can I do to get through nurses so as to increase my production/placement/hires?

I do cold calling and asking the people I talk to to refer friends they know..I would like to do a lot of job posting online..but not quite sure if that will be as effective..

would appreciate your advice!:)

Thanks and a good week everyone!:)

Comment by Lisa Offutt on March 4, 2009 at 10:02am: I've recently been working on a search where I could find lots of names and generally phone numbers as well online, but these folks really didn't seem to spend time online or have an online presence. I made *lots* of calls in the evenings and on weekends and mostly left messages; I'm guessing for the most part people don't pick up when they don't recognize the number.

When I email someone, even if they don't think they're interested at that moment, they still have all my contact and other information in a form they can come back and reference any time. My gut feeling was that that wasn't the case for my phone messages. We ended up doing a direct mailing, and *that* finally resulted in some response. So there's another idea for you, though of course I would follow it up with phone calls.

LOL Shally, there was a plumber in there! But very impressive nonetheless.

that was incredible. which of your webinars/courses would be best to learn this? I am pursuing a practice in recruiting and placing psychiatrists and need to build my network ASAP. your direction would be invaluable.

Comment by Shally Steckerl on March 5, 2009 at 8:31pm: Oops :) MASTER ERNST got in there somehow. I think maybe he nurses pipes LOL!!! These nurses show up in searches not because of their own online activity but rather because someone else put their name up somewhere. Its a misconception that finding people on the web always means finding people who themselves took an active role in putting themselves online. A majority of the best quality information is third party references. Think about it - if I talk about someone that information tends to be more accurate or real than if that person talks about themselves!

Gregg - this one technique in particular is part of our advanced sourcing curriculum but if you are interested I recommend you spend a couple of hours with me and I can help you set up some very precise search strings for just that skill set! Check out www.jobmachine.net

Comment by Steve Levy on March 5, 2009 at 9:42pm: Gregg- in addition to the strings my buddy Samurai Shally offers, it is important to remember that states license psychiatrists and as such, these folks are findable online. Let's take New York; here are the folks near you...
