UPDATE - Piedmont Healthcare Expands Relationship with InFlight to Support Ongoing Recruiting BlitzEASTHAMPTON, Mass., July 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- After over a year of navigating the Covid-19 pandemic, Piedmont Healthcare has expanded its relationship with InFlight Corporation, the award-winning employee experience platform enabling organizations to do more with existing software investments, to support their recruitment needs. With hiring a top concern for many leading employers, Piedmont Healthcare sought to differentiate itself in today’s competitive market. The integrated healthcare system continues to grow in size, making several thousand external hires in 2020 and anticipating several thousand more in 2021. Having initially selected the InFlight ProgrammaticPLUS job advertising solution two years ago to streamline processes for critical roles, Piedmont Healthcare is now leveraging additional InFlight products to improve the overall candidate experience. Piedmont Healthcare recently began removing friction from the ATS user experience across for all of its jobs using InFlight Apply Flow Enhancement as well as InFlight Candidate Scheduling, which enables candidates to schedule an interview with the recruiter in the flow of the application. Carly Fearrington, Talent Acquisition Manager at Piedmont Healthcare, shared, “One of the biggest challenges with Covid-19 is that it’s constantly changing the way we do business, the way we recruit. But at the same time, it changes and shifts the hotspot roles that we need to fill, and so we wanted a technology that would enable us to cater to candidates from start to finish, despite the circumstances. InFlight has been an amazing partner in this because their platform and suite of products enables us to come up with flexible solutions to meet our needs.” Recognizing that recruiting doesn’t end with the application or even the offer letter, Fearrington and her team looked to InFlight to enhance its talent experience throughout, including self-serve event scheduling and onboarding. For example, pre-pandemic, Piedmont Healthcare hosted “Walk-In Wednesdays,” where nurses could wlk into any facility and meet with a recruiter to learn about a role before applying. To keep these events going, the organization relied on InFlight to help take the concept virtual through a dedicated scheduling platform, a move that enabled the talent acquisition team to continue connecting with in-demand candidates, including many from out of state. Piedmont Healthcare also worked with InFlight to create an onboarding experience that reflects a more hybrid reality, noting that onboarding is an employee’s first impression of the organization. Fearrington added, “As conditions have evolved over the last year, we needed to know what was working and how it was resonating. InFlight has helped us move forward, giving us insight into our performance as we made those critical hires and kept our hospitals staffed throughout this challenging time.” Chris Gasparro, Senior Director, Customer Success, for InFlight Corporation, commented, “Having partnered with Piedmont Healthcare before Covid-19, we were able to recognize the new obstacles they faced, particularly with hiring essential workers. Through the work we’ve done together, across their apply flow, and with the addition of event scheduling and onboarding, InFlight is helping optimize their employee experience, focusing on their first experiences with the organization as a candidate and later as an employee.” About Piedmont Healthcare About InFlight Note to editors: Trademarks and registered trademarks referenced herein remain the property of their respective owners.
