Recruitment versus retention: why working to keep good employees is worth the effort.
The tight demand for medical professionals has many organizations lowering hiring standards in desperate hopes of filling long-vacant positions, but one physician recruiter cautions practice managers against making that mistake. Instead, maintaining high standards and working from the outset with a strategic plan to retain valued employees is the best long-term solution. Breaking down the time and cost investment, and looking at the consequences of both good and bad hires, there's no doubt that waiting longer for the right candidate beats settling for the next warm body that walks through the door.
