Recruiting radiation therapist for your staffing agency requires some special ingenuity.
Why?
Well, the truth is a radiation therapist can quickly become your financial stability for any new medical staffing agency, it can bring in a lot of contracts and promote huge billable hours.
The trick is finding a qualified and talented individual willing to work for your staffing agency.
A therapist usually works Monday through Friday and rarely on the weekends and never on call.
Why? They sees patients on a schedule.
So, marketing your staffing agency in such a way to align yourself with a therapist means two things.
One: You must be willing to pay, pay, pay for the privilege of hiring them, don't think they will come knocking on your door. You must offer them money and perhaps a finder's fee. know they are valuable and the only way you will attract a therapist is to pay them a good wage.
Second: Begin building relationships with the schools that graduate radiation therapist. Although schools means they don't have a lot of experience that does not mean you cannot use them. Make it a habit of visiting the schools every six months. One student will be interested in working with you, especially if you offer good money.
But, in the event you are already marketing to cover a hospital for a radiation therapist, or if a hospital has asked you if you can cover for a radiation therapist, make sure you secure the contract by making them sign a contract that they will use your staffing agency for at least 13 weeks. That means you secure a position for your therapist for 13 weeks.
The hospital may extend the contract and keep your radiation therapist working.
