Travis Schugg, Vice President of Staffing Services at VieMed Healthcare Staffing ("VHS"), joins Discover Lafayette to share how VHS utilizes technology to meet the burgeoning staffing needs across all healthcare specialties in the U. S. He is responsibile for steering the company's long-term strategic direction and day-to-day operations.  Travis moved to Lafayette in 2021 to join VHS after a meeting in Phoenix with VieMed founder, Casey Hoyt. The challenges of recruiting and retaining staff during COVID were issues everyone was trying to figure out, when all of a sudden you couldn't go into people's homes to care for their medical needs. Travis says that respiratory therapists and ICU nurses were the hottest commodities out there at that time. The two men picked each other's brains on this topic: Travis had fifteen years experience in recruiting, and Casey, along with Michael Moore and the VieMed team, were building the best in class respiratory therapy in the U. S. "Over the course of our thirty minute meeting, it became a chess match as to who could pick each other's brain best!" A few weeks after that initial encounter, Travis reached out to Casey Hoyt and jokingly said, "I think I can do some damage with you!" Casey asked him to create a business plan for VieMed to get into the medical healthcare staffing arena. Travis came up with a 50-page business plan and they were off to creating VHS. VHS is a complementary service for VieMed. Historically, healthcare systems, government agencies, and organizations like VieMed would recruit through their Human Resource departments, posting a job and hoping people would apply. "We flipped the script. Recruitment should be more on the offensive, it should be outbound. We promote our brand....we don't just sit and wait for people to apply." VHS started out by visiting every hospital in Louisiana and telling their story. Then they spread across the Gulf Region. Today, just a bit over two short years after inception, VHS recruits for positions open in Massachusetts, Ohio, Vermont, Washington, Colorado, Arizona, North Carolina, and other places across the U. S. VHS has staff in 15 states, and is building organically. Travis believes that VHS offers the best recruitment and workforce team anywhere between Dallas and Atlanta, South of Nashville, being based right here in Lafayette LA. The main specialties in which VHS currently recruits are in nursing, social workers (public and private sector), respiratory therapy, and physicians. VHS also recruits in the allied care fields for workers in pharmacy, imaging and lab techs. They serve employers needing assistance with locum tenens and correctional health positions.There are currently 2400 jobs and when you visit https://jobs.viemedstaffing.com/, you will see an incredible listing of jobs available. Staffing is a $170 billion industry and healthcare staffing accounts for $44-45 billion of that number. It is a unique niche that has been waiting to be met. VHS is growing as it helps their clients, both practitioners and health facilities, by getting to understand their clients' needs. The "why" behind a hiring allows VHS to recruit more successfully and meet the individual needs of each client. Travis explained that the health industry has changed dramatically regarding outside contract help. Fifteen years ago, people wanted a hospital with very few contract workers. The barrier has broken down and this mindset has flipped. Studies show that institutions with a more diverse workforce have better health outcomes for their patients. The contract workers have experienced more, worked in different settings across the country, and bring a plethora of skills to the job setting. Today, facilities are keeping 20- 30% of their workforce as contract labor, and thes health contractors fill in as needed, on weekends, nights, or other, which benefits everyone involved. A new dynamic is that many professionals want to tr...

Episode 20: Tips on Employee Time-Off Requests, Part Two of Two  Hey, everyone!  Welcome back to another episode of Leaving The Nest.  I'm your host, Kathleen Pellegrino from ROCS Grad Staffing. Our mission is to help you find a job out of college and thrive in the real world.  This is Part 2 of the Time-Off Requests mini-series. In the first episode, we spoke primarily about when to take time off, how to take it, making sure you know who to talk to, and general best practices. For this episode, we are going to assume you've been given the green light to take time off and I want to make sure you're setting yourself and your team up for success so you can enjoy your time away. Don't forget to share this episode with others you know who are just starting out in their careers —you might be able to coordinate your time-off requests together!  (Just don't forget to put that time on your calendars!)

[3:13] – This is what we should do as soon as we start planning to take time off. [4:35] – Everyone is a little different with their time-off requests.

[9:07] – What is an out-of-office reply and what should go in it? [11:37] – Kathleen shares what happened when she put her personal contact info in her out-of-office reply.

[15:59] – What do we do when our vacation is over and it's back to our work-life reality? [18:13] – Kathleen reminds us to allocate time to catch up with colleagues, catch up with what came in while we were out, and tackle our normal workload.

For many of us, life was so certain the week before. But in a matter of days, everything became so uncertain so quickly. Now imagine being a senior in college getting hired at your dream job only to find out you wouldn't be able to walk at graduation and your start date was pushed out to an unknown time in the future.

Our mission is to help you find a job out of college and thrive in the real world. I am joined today by a colleague and a friend. Her name is Darcy Grogan and she's been a member of our team since 2019. She has worked her way up from Associate Recruiter all the way up to an Account Manager. This is so awesome to see because I love seeing longevity in someone's career, and I love seeing others develop and grow and create their own story here at ROCS. And that's why I invited Darcy to join me on the podcast today. I wanted her to share her story with all of you because I believe it's a really important one. Before she started with us, Darcy didn't have any office experience. She graduated from Longwood University and then worked as a Restaurant Manager for a few years, so you can imagine some of the challenges she must have faced during her job search. And so if you're a job seeker that's in the same boat as Darcy, I'm sure you'll find her advice and experience very insightful and eye-opening. But if you're an employer listening to this podcast, I believe it's important to remember that sometimes when you're working with entry-level candidates, you should give them a shot based on just their potential alone. You might find that is how you can find some of the best people. Enjoy! In This Episode:[01:49] - An introduction to today's guest, Darcy Grogan. [03:03] - What brought Darcy to Longwood University?

Before we begin, I'd like to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for tuning in, for listening, for learning, and for reaching out to us with your questions. Saying thank you is a powerful tool, and people love to be thanked. It shows appreciation and affirmation, and it can make people feel happier. So how do thank you notes apply in the interview process? We recently chatted about interviewing over the phone, in person, and over a video chat. After each one of those stages, you should always be sending and following up with a thank you note to the contact(s) that you met. And you should be doing that after each one of those stages. It may seem repetitive to send a thank you note after each one of those stages, but it really is not. It really goes a long way. Not only are these employers taking time out of their busy schedules to meet with you and consider you for a role, but from your perspective, it is going to help make you stand out tremendously. Welcome back to another episode of Leaving the Nest. I'm your host, Kathleen Pellegrino from ROCS Grad Staffing. Our mission is to help you find a job out of college and thrive in the real world. In this episode, we'll address some of the biggest questions around sending thank you notes, including when to send them, how to show you were listening during the interview, and how to have your thank you note stand out from the rest. I'll even share a few ideas and templates you can use to get your next thank you note looking and sounding amazing. Thanks again for listening, and I hope you enjoy it! In This Episode:[00:39] - Kathleen introduces us to today's topic: thank you notes. [01:33] - This is how many job applicants aren't sending thank you notes, according to Career Builder.

In the age of technology and video calls, I'm sure the burning question on every job applicant's mind is “do in-person interviews matter anymore?” In short, yes! Even though in-person interviews have been less prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic, I'm confident they will come back stronger than ever. Truthfully, I believe most employers want to meet with job applicants in person. As a job seeker, it's important to get out there and meet the people you will be interviewing with. That's not to say technology and video interviews don't have their place. Video interviews can still help develop a valuable skill set and can give some great alternatives to the face-to-face interview, but there's nothing quite like the original in-person interview. Today, we will be wrapping up our discussion on interviewing. So far, we've touched on phone interviews, video interviews, and in this episode, we will be covering the good old fashioned in-person interview. In this episode, we'll be covering some of the tips and tricks every job applicant should know in order to make a great lasting impression for their next in-person interview.

To maximize profit in business, company owners and managers have to make smart decisions and look out for ways to save money. In such a scenario, if a company needs a workforce to fulfill the employee shortage of extraordinary talent for a particular or seasonal project, then they need to go for temporary staff instead of hiring a full-time staff.
