Cheryl Hooper,
president of
NursingExecutives.com
,
knows her way around the
healthcare industry. She has
spent more than fifteen
years in various
healthcare-related
capacities, including ten
years in the field of
medical staffing, and is an
active member of several
healthcare associations on a
local and national
level.
At a time of deep-seated labor
shortages in the healthcare
industry, Hooper’s
background helped her to single
out one segment of the industry
- nursing
executives - that was
chronically under-served by
existing career
services.
While
many recruitment firms and
career websites catered in some
fashion to the broadest
spectrum of nursing jobs,
nobody was doing anything to
help this specialized yet vital
group - nursing leaders.
Nursing
leaders include executive,
administrative, and middle
management nurses - and they
are a group that occupies one
of the most crucial positions
in the entire healthcare
field.
Nursing executives in every
sector of the healthcare field
are highly sought after by
employers and recruiters. Yet,
as Hooper knew only too well
from her daily interaction with
executive nurses, they were
largely overlooked in terms of
employment and career resources
aimed specifically at their
needs, as were the recruiters
and employers who are desperate
to reach
them.
Hooper’s company
and website, NursingExecutives.com,
set out to fill this void
with a unique and innovative
solution: not only bringing
together administrative
level nurses and employers,
but doing so in a way that
offered a real service and
value to both
sides.
NursingExecutives.com
offers an efficient,
confidential, and effective
procedure whereby nursing
executives can showcase their
expertise to potential
employers. For employers and
recruiters, the website offers
a unique, carefully-screened
pool of talent across a range
of specializations under the
“nursing leaders” umbrella.
It’s a win-win situation. As a
result, the website serves as
a destination site for those
seeking executive nursing
positions and those with
positions to
fill.
The complimentary feedback from
users of the site - applicants
and employers alike - is
testament to how Hooper has
successfully leveraged her deep
knowledge of the industry into
a unique website and
company.
“First of its
kind,” is the type of phrase
seen more than once, along with
comments like “different from
the rest;” “original;” very
helpful;” “thanks for this
resource;” “user-friendly,” and
“effective,” which all show up
in the voluminous feedback that
NursingExecutives.com has
received to
date.
By focusing
on the needs of both sides, and
by creating a website and a
service that seeks to
comprehensively meet
the needs of both employees and
recruiters, Hooper has
achieved an unusual measure of
success in the troubled waters
of healthcare
employment.
By
focusing tightly on one
problem, and offering a
carefully-crafted solution,
NursingExecutives.com has made
an important contribution to
the field of healthcare
employment, and one that may
well provide a blueprint for
others to follow.
