Hire clinical staff who genuinely care.
Screen for compassion, clinical competence, and reliability — all before they start.
Bad clinical hires hurt patients. Your team has to work harder. Turnover drains your resources. You need a way to spot the clinicians who combine skills with genuine patient focus.
The Impact of the Wrong Clinical Hire
Clinical turnover costs $15,000–$40,000 per hire
Onboarding time, lost continuity of care, and the urgent hiring rush that follows. Your remaining team burns out covering gaps.
Poor patient care is non-negotiable
A clinician without genuine empathy creates patient satisfaction issues, complaints, and reputational damage. Your team culture suffers.
Clinical licensing doesn't predict fit
Just because someone passed their boards doesn't mean they'll thrive in your team culture or prioritize patient outcomes the way you do.

Clinical skills alone aren't enough

Turnover destroys your team culture
Clinical turnover is expensive and demoralizing. Our screening prioritizes reliability and team fit, not just credentials.
Patient satisfaction starts with hiring
Clinicians who prioritize patient outcomes and communication create better experiences, fewer complaints, and stronger reputation.
You reduce bias, increase diversity
Structured screening moves beyond resumes and gut feel. You see actual capability and fit, independent of background.
