What does it take to build a winning healthcare team? Healthcare organizations are using traditional interviewing methods and also being creative to attract the right talent. One of the main reasons why creativity works in the interviewing process is to overcome unique healthcare hiring challenges, for example, the right culture fit, talent shortage, and industry competition.
Here at KTE, we work together with our clients to identify and place candidates in the right environment to assure the proper culture and performance fit. The way we address these challenges is vetting our candidates appropriately and efficiently. When we interview we identify the right match, by conducting thorough interviews and building long-lasting relationships with each candidate.
Below you will find the best hiring approaches used to get winning results.
Behavioral Interview:
Analyzes past performance and the best predictor of future behavior, it allows you to probe previous experiences. By conducting behavioral interviews, you will know how the candidate handles these types of questions.
STAR Approach Interview:
When you listen for an answer, look for the Situation, how the Task was handled and what Action they took, and lastly pay attention to the Result.
Problem Solving Interview:
Allows you to evaluate the candidate’s ability and communication skills. Here you will present a real or simulated problem to solve. You are not looking for the right answer, but the ability for the candidate to break down a problem into manageable pieces and think clearly under pressure.
Stress Interview:
Does your organization have a high-stress level? Then you may consider a stress interview. The most effective way to conduct this interview is to purposely bring stress to the meeting, seem distracted, indifferent or contrary. Pay attention to the candidate’s reaction, and bring in some problem-solving questions to evaluate their ability to problem solve. For example, have the candidate shadow a live operating room to see how they react to real-time situations and questions. Take note, are they calm, cool and collected? Those are the indicators you should be looking for to choose the right candidate for the position.
In summary, traditional interviews seem to work, but if you get creative, chances are that you will overcome your hiring challenges and build the right team by attracting the right talent.
