"We have gotten feedback from managers that they like the tool as it gives them the opportunity to evaluate strengths and weaknesses and adjust orientation & training around the non "deal breakers" with lower ratings. In six months we avoided hiring potential "bad employees" totaling 54. Even with an average salary of $35,000/yr and the estimate that it is at least a years salary in cost to employers for the wrong hire, that would equate to a potential savings of 1.89 million dollars."

"Our number one priority is patient safety. SkillSurvey is a highly efficient and effective process that has allowed us to make more informed hiring decisions. I would recommend the service to any organization that is serious about quality hiring practices and especially so for healthcare organizations. SkillSurvey is an integral part of enabling us to acquire talent that best matches our needs."

Few Industries can Claim the Degree of Responsibility for Peoples' Lives and The Well-Being of a Community Than Yours Does

We know that you take that responsibility very seriously. Who you hire affects not only your overall productivity and patient satisfaction, but it also affects your compliance with health and safety regulations. That's why over 400 leading hospitals and health systems rely on SkillSurvey’s reference-checking, reference-assessment, and sourcing solutions to screen job candidates for competencies, behaviors and values that support high-quality care.

SkillSurvey improves your quality-of-hire and:

Improves patient satisfaction that influences HCAHPS scores
Lowers the risk of making an inappropriate hire
Complies with regulations and accreditation guidelines
Reaches elusive candidates for hard-to-fill positions, such as an occupational therapist or a cardiac care nurse, avoiding agency and advertising fees
Improves the efficiency of busy recruiters

Through our focus on the healthcare industry, we’ve developed surveys specific to 50 healthcare job families. So, you can assess candidates on the exact skill-sets required in your healthcare setting.

Clients Report Strong HCAHPS Scores

A sample of SkillSurvey’s 23 most-tenured hospital clients scored above-average in measures of patient satisfaction. In the sample, 75-percent received the highest possible score in the HCAHPS category of “Recommend to Friends and Family.” This is seven-percent higher than the national average, in a category that resonates strongly with prospective patients. SkillSurvey clients also ranked above-average in measures for “Nurse Communications,” “Responsiveness” and “Explaining Medications Clearly.” For more on HCAHPS, download the brochure: click here.
