Scaling a National Virtual Nursing Program
Recruiting 180 experienced telehealth nurses across all 50 states.
The Engagement
A nationally recognized healthcare system needed to build a virtual nursing team from the ground up — hiring 30 experienced RN triage nurses every month for six consecutive months to support its expanding telehealth division.
The hiring requirements were demanding. Every candidate needed at least five years of nursing experience, multi-state licensure, strong technical skills and the ability to work independently in a remote environment. The combination of high volume, tight monthly targets and specialized candidate requirements made this one of the most complex nursing searches the organization had undertaken.
The health system needed a recruiting partner with the reach, technology and process discipline to deliver 30 qualified virtual nurses per month — consistently, for six months — without sacrificing candidate quality.
The Recruiting Challenge
Building a national virtual nursing team at volume required overcoming several compounding challenges:
High-Volume Monthly Targets
Hiring 30 qualified virtual nurses every month for six months required a recruiting engine capable of maintaining consistent pipeline depth and quality across a sustained period.
Specialized Candidate Requirements
Every candidate needed at least five years of nursing experience, multi-state licensure, strong technical skills and demonstrated ability to work independently in a remote environment.
Nationwide Sourcing Scope
Sourcing across all 50 states required a recruiting infrastructure with national reach and the ability to identify candidates in markets where virtual nursing talent is not concentrated.
Remote-Work Readiness Assessment
Beyond clinical qualifications, candidates needed to be assessed for communication skills, technology adaptability and the self-direction required to succeed in a fully remote nursing role.
The health system needed a recruiting partner that could maintain a consistent pipeline of highly qualified virtual nurses across all 50 states — month after month — without missing a single monthly target.
