Making a Difference

Quality is the driving force for change

Welcome to hirestaff.

hirestaff was founded after we noticed a gap in the healthcare sector. In 2021, the turnover rate for nurses was 38.1%, one of the highest staff turnover rates in the UK. A driving factor is the recruitment market’s emphasis on “filling in seats” quickly, which often ends in poorly matched representatives.

Welcome to hirestaff.

hirestaff was founded after we noticed a gap in the healthcare sector. In 2020, the turnover rate for nurses was 38.1%, one of the highest staff turnover rates in the UK. A driving factor is the recruitment market’s emphasis on “filling in seats” quickly, which often ends in poorly matched representatives.

There’s evidence that a high level of turnover has an impact on care quality. One issue is around continuity of care. If a patient or a care home resident sees a different nurse every day, that’s going to affect the quality of their care and emotional and physical wellbeing. Many of those in care are vulnerable and have complex needs and an understanding of them is built up over time. When healthcare staff are changing constantly, the chance to build personal relationships is missing.

Our Approach

We put relationships first.

We’re a recruitment specialist committed to providing a relationship-centered approach for the healthcare sector. We create and deliver bespoke solutions, recruiting for all roles from health care assistants to nurses to doctors, midwives, allied health professionals, social care workers, managers, and directors.

We believe when we build strong relationships with our candidates (representatives) and clients (partners), we get a better understanding of your needs which ultimately improves the quality of employment decisions.

We’re a recruitment specialist committed to providing a relationship-centered approach for the healthcare sector. We create and deliver bespoke solutions, recruiting for all roles from health care assistants to nurses to doctors, midwives, allied health professionals, social care workers, managers and directors.

We believe when we build strong relationships with our candidates (representatives) and clients (partners), we get a better understanding of your needs which ultimately improves the quality of employment decisions.

Our approach is collaborative and consultative. We work with our partners as strategic advisors, focused on fully understanding your organisational requirements, analysing the candidate landscape and identifying opportunities for talent acquisition.

Working with our representatives is similarly founded in our deeply personal process. We’re here to work in partnership with you and help you make your next career move, offering support and advice through the journey.

Personal relationships are an important part of living, working and visiting the hospitals and care homes. The quality of interpersonal relationships with staff has been found to be the most important aspect of quality of care for the patients and residents and, in turn, the most rewarding for healthcare staff.

Our relationship-first approach to recruitment builds on this and focuses on providing compassionate, dedicated care staff who want to make a difference to patients and residents’ lives and get joy in building quality relationships with them.

Creating A Meaningful Partnership

Staff retention starts from the beginning of the recruitment process, from identifying the job requirement and profile with our partner, the application and screening process, to selecting who to interview. It begins with knowing what aspects of culture and strategy to highlight and then seeking them out in our representatives.

We invest considerable time in getting to know our partners and understanding your company ethos and culture in detail. Based on our in-depth conversations, we develop a bespoke recruitment strategy that reflects the values and emotional behaviours most important to you. This is used as a blueprint to identify and select representatives who are well-matched to your values and emotional culture.

In 2021, nurses had one of the highest turnover rates at 38.1%

Building Strong Foundations

Great relationships are built on honesty.

We provide a transparent and personal experience for our partners and representatives throughout the entire recruitment and selection process and know the importance of actively keeping in contact after a role has been placed. Our After Care service is designed to help us regularly engage with our partners and representatives and ask for open and honest feedback.
