Feeling the effects of the nursing shortage? Let FTE Connect help you find the staff you need without expensive fees or time-consuming ad placement!
FTE Connect is an affordable staffing tool, costing facilities less than any other single staffing initiative. However, cost is not the only benefit FTE Connect has as compared to other staffing options. Here are a few brief comparisons for you to consider.
FTE Connect vs. Staffing AgenciesWhether you have one full time equivalent of agency use or one hundred, FTE Connect will save you money. Unlike staffing agencies, FTE Connect allows its members to negotiate hourly rates instead of requiring standardized, marked-up fees. Facilities will receive many other benefits in addition to this flexible fee structure that are not provided by staffing agencies, further increasing FTE Connect's value. Staffing agencies charge exorbitant fees for the temporary use of their employees, and even more if a facility wishes to hire one of their employees full-time. These fees are often cost prohibitive for small facilities and can cost large facilities signifcant amounts of money per quarter. Isn't it time to get Connected?
FTE Connect vs. RecruitingWhether facilities use recruiters and headhunters, or handle recruiting internally via conventions, career days or direct mail, these techniques often result in wasted time and money. Finding the perfect staff member can take days, weeks or even months. Avoid the costs associated with recruiting by using FTE Connect's innovative online application to find exactly the staff you need.
FTE Connect vs. AdvertisingPlacing ads in Sunday papers and on general employment sites is very expensive and often provides inconsistent results. Unfortunately, you are required to pay for each ad you place, regardless of its success. Furthermore, newspapers and national employment websites are geared towards the general public, not healthcare professionals. By placing a job posting on FTE Connect, facilities are guaranteed that only local healthcare professionals are viewing their postings. Lower costs plus highly targeted ad placement equals better results.
FTE Connect vs. Shift Management SoftwareFTE Connect can supplement any shift or staff management software. These programs are often very expensive, require extensive training and implementation and are not effective if they are not used at all times. In addition, you pay for these programs whether you use them or not. With FTE Connect, however, there is minimal training and facilities can use the application as much or as little as they want with the same results. If your facility currently uses a shift management software and would like to learn how FTE Connect can assist in further reducing costs and improving patient care, just ask us how!
