The Gibson Area Hospital in Gibson City, Illinois can chalk up another win for The Carlisle Group as they welcome a second physical therapist to further service the residents of the rural community. The successful placement marks the second physical therapist provided to the facility, and the third placement in as many interviews. In the world of physician recruiting, that kind of consistent success is unheard of, much to the delight of Gibson Area Hospital CEO Rob Schmitt.

“I’ve been in this industry for a long time and have been burned more than a few firms before,” Says Schmitt, who at one point had to endure over 8 months working with a firm without a single lead. “The Carlisle Group provides my facility with the most consistent success I have ever experienced.”

At The Carlisle Group, it is just as important to find the right opportunity for healthcare providers as it is discerning the right candidate for the employer. Such was the case with Gibson City’s newest physical therapist that was looking for an opportunity within close proximity to Chicago, but with practically half the cost of living. The opportunity is also a fantastic learning experience for the newly minted physical therapist, as she will be working with other physical therapists with over ten years of experience.

Schmitt’s dedication and passion for his facility and community has also made the opportunities at Gibson Area Hospital irresistible for healthcare providers searching with The Carlisle Group. “He is extremely confident in what he has, that is why everyone who is interested in their opportunities take the jobs,” Said Search Manager John Collmer. “There are a thousand similar jobs out there, but they choose Gibson City because he says it is the best out there and truly, deep down, believes it.”

Gibson Area Hospital strives to deliver the best healthcare service possible, and three placements as a result of three interviews allow them to focus on their community. The Carlisle Group will continue to provide the facility with the highest quality and most efficient procurement in of the physician recruitment industry.

The Carlisle Group is a healthcare placement firm that offers a unique structure to clients seeking to attract healthcare professionals and physicians to their communities. Utilizing a variety of resources and strategic partnerships to determine viable searches nation-wide, The Carlisle Group is a rising star in the field of physician recruiting.

CareerPlug, a recruitment marketing firm, recently launched the latest version of its personalized recruiting campaign service for employers with high-volume recruiting needs. The company attributes the success of its email-based campaigns, which often produce response rates that are more than twice as high as the industry average, to its personalized recruiting microsites. These employer-branded websites, personalized to each handpicked candidate, allow top professionals to explore a specific career opportunity and, if it is a good fit for them, submit a brief form expressing their interest. With the new version of their service, CareerPlug will provide an even higher level of personalization by tailoring the message to each candidate based on his/her experiences.

“One of the challenges in high-volume recruiting is establishing a personal connection with candidates. CareerPlug’s recruiting microsites add a personalized touch to a recruitment email campaign that engages top candidates and differentiates the employer from its competition,”

said Clint Smith, founder and President of CareerPlug. “This certainly gives companies an advantage as they compete for top talent.”

CareerPlug has developed technology that analyzes candidate resumes and references their specific experiences as part of the recruitment message. If an employer was looking for sales candidates who have had a specific type of training (Solutions Selling, for example), CareerPlug would target these candidates with a specific message referencing their Solutions Selling experience. This level of personalization immediately engages candidates, particularly those who are a good fit for the opportunity.

The personalized microsite technology would not be nearly as effective without the front-end effort that CareerPlug puts into each of its campaigns. Unlike most recruitment marketing firms, CareerPlug handpicks each candidate to be included in a campaign based on predetermined criteria provided by the employer. This high level of flexibility and personalization has led employers, including both regional companies and Fortune 500 corporations, to rely on CareerPlug for their high-volume recruiting of sales and customer service professionals. In addition to the value of attracting qualified candidates for their open positions, CareerPlug has been able to save time for recruiting teams whose budgets and personnel have been stretched thin by internal cost-cutting measures.

“At a time like this, recruiting teams are looking for ways to do more with less,” said Smith. “Employers are receiving lots of applications, but the quality is generally low. CareerPlug offers employers a way to target and attract top talent for their open positions at a great value compared to traditional hiring resources.”

CareerPlug is currently offering a one-month trial for new clients to evaluate its services. Please visit http://www.careerplug.com for more details.

Employment Screening Resources (ESR), a leading U.S. background checking firm, announces the release of a 36-minute training DVD on how to avoid negligent hiring lawsuits.  Presented dramatically, the viewer gets to see what a trial for a “Bad Hire” case is like so that they never have to really be hauled into court and face a jury trial that could result in a payout of millions of dollars.

The DVD of a negligent hiring trial, filmed in an actual Los Angeles courtroom, features opening statements, cross-examination of an HR professional, testimony from an expert witness, closing arguments, and jury instructions.  The DVD even includes re-enactment of a crime as  caught on a surveillance camera.  Part of the training process is for viewers to act as jurors and to deliberate in order to reach a “verdict” based upon the DVD.

“Lawsuits for negligent hiring are among the fastest growing area of personal injury litigation today,” said Lester Rosen, an attorney and founder of Employment Screening Resources. ”This type of training may well help employers avoid multi-million dollar verdicts that can occur when a business fails to exercise due diligence by hiring someone with an unsuitable criminal record or false credentials.”

The DVD is available at http://www.backgroundchecktraining.com/, a new website sponsored by Employment Screening Resources that provides books, training courses, training DVD’s, and free resources on background checks.  The companion book is the “Safe Hiring Audit,” by attorney Lester Rosen.

A preview of the video is available at: http://www.backgroundchecktraining.com/Safe-Hiring-Trial …
