Ascend HR Corp and TMA Healthcare Staffing Announce Strategic Partnership

Ascend HR Corp, a nationally recognized HR services and talent acquisition firm, today announced that it has teamed up with TMA Healthcare Staffing in Canada to help enhance the recruiting results of U.S. and Canadian healthcare organizations. The first of its kind, this partnership will integrate Ascend's RPE (Recruitment Process Enhancement) technology, HR Maximizer, for collaboration across all client solutions offered by TMA.

"Having the ability to use our team to develop a specific solution to meet our clients' needs allows us to impact the industry the most," said Kevin Kirkpatrick, medical recruitment expert and the Director and Founder of TMA Healthcare Staffing. "Healthcare is an ever changing field, whether it is from increased need for care or the inclusion of technology. There is no longer a single approach that works for every client. TMA strives to provide excellent recruiting search services but we also want to be a trusted consultant and by offeringRecruitment Process Enhancement we can achieve that."

As many new recruitment innovations are being introduced, recruiting firms are becoming overwhelmed with spending time and resources to find out which ones are effective. New-age recruiting trends evince that the most powerful solutions are candidate-first, thereby requiring that HR professional are more productive and resourceful in their approach. As of 2015, more than 83 percent of recruiters and recruiting firms report that finding top talent is among the biggest challenge due to inefficient recruiting methods and technologies. As a centralized recruitment solution, HR Maximizer is suited to combat each of these concerns by integrating some of the most active, forward-thinking recruiting methods, such as list building, screening, top talent sourcing and job posting.

Rollis Fontenot III, President of Ascend HR Corp and the Business Development Executive of HR Maximizer, spoke to the partnership with TMA Healthcare, "Instead of being designed to 'replace' the recruiting and/or HR function within the organization, recruitment process enhancement services, otherwise known as RPE, are designed to enhance the organization's HR and/or recruitment function." Fontenot went on to note, "We are excited to have TMA Healthcare Staffing as a strategic partner to help more companies take advantage of the cutting-edge recruitment services available in the marketplace at a price point that makes sense for the organization. Hospitals and other healthcare organizations are under pressure to continue to do more with less, and a recruitment process enhancement service like the HR Maximizer is designed to help them do that."

This partnership is expected to enable more recruitment firms across the U.S. and Canada to shift the bulk of their efforts to developing and retaining top talent, and worry less about how they are going to overcome the challenges that commonly accompany recruiting. RPE services offer a mild form of recruiting intelligence that has, up until now, been absent from a large percentage of recruiters' strategies.
