Frequenty Asked Questions

"Vendor-on-Premise" and the “Managed Services Program or Managed Staffing Programs” models focus on having one primary vendor fill most of a company's staffing orders. This primary vendor generally tries to fill every order with its own people, using sub-contractors only when it’s unable to fill positions this way. As a result, this model generally leaves secondary suppliers only with a small amount of hard-to-fill orders - and very little incentive to funnel their best people through their competitors to fill them.  There is also the risk to the suppliers that participate that their contract staff may want to sign up with the MSP directly.

On the other hand, because of its vendor-neutral model, RightSourcing acts as an unbiased facilitator of the whole process. The result is better candidates…and quicker filling of positions. We’re able to impartially manage multiple, qualified staffing suppliers who compete – on an even field - to fill each job order.  This vendor-neutral process ensures that the client’s existing (and often critical) staffing partnerships are not only maintained, but also nurtured.  In addition, because this system provides an equal opportunity to every staffing vendor, it encourages them to submit their best candidates, at their most competitive rates.

The result? You’re in the driver’s seat when it comes to getting the best candidates at the best prices.  

Our staffing model creates significant cost-savings for our clients, because of the competitive environment it creates for staffing vendors. This system incentivizes suppliers to provide their highest-quality candidates at their lowest possible mark-up. And when they do, it rewards them with more fulfilled orders.

In addition, this model is not only effective in supplying clinical workers; you can also save significantly through our experience in managing non-clinical contract labor. 

We’ve been using a VMS system longer than just about anyone in the business…and with greater effectiveness. Accordingly, we’re able to generate results that are above and beyond those of most traditional VMS providers.  These programs include real-time rate benchmarking, payrolling services, SOW Management capability, and a variety of other cost-saving models that can be customized for your specific needs. 

Our clients receive one consolidated bill for all labor provided by third-party suppliers, whether it’s clinical or non-clinical. And this bill is electronically audited to assure accuracy.

You can say “goodbye” to all the paperwork involved with securing temporary workers – because it will disappear. Our system is automated, and it’s transparent, including online resume and order submittals, interview-scheduling, timecards, and all approval processes. You’ll be able to consolidate potentially hundreds of suppliers into a single invoice.

Our clients generally request that we become the master vendor, with all staffing suppliers operating as sub-contractors to us.  RightSourcing assumes responsibility for driving consistent contracting terms, which will save you the time and resources currently involved in bringing new vendors into the program.   In addition, our clients can take advantage of the opportunity to leverage RightSourcing’s hundreds of proven local, regional, and national suppliers…without the need for a lengthy contracting process.

We put dedicated Program Managers onsite at most of our clients. This helps us better understand your requirements…and helps us present only the most-qualified resumes to you. But we don’t make the hiring decisions – you do. Your own hiring managers will make the final decisions about extending an offer to a candidate. But, because we’ve already done all the heavy lifting – the sifting to find qualified candidates, and the discussions with the staffing vendors presenting them – your managers are totally freed up from this time-consuming process. And this will give them – and you – a very precious gift - they’ll then have the time to concentrate on their core responsibilities.

RightSourcing’s onsite program managers all have the clinical or non-clinical backgrounds that allow them to "talk the talk" with both hiring managers and suppliers.  In addition, you’ll have the security of knowing that our online testing and clinical-staffing experience will ensure the right matches for your clinical positions.

Suppliers are measured, monitored, and reported through a rigorous quality management program based on best practices, and constructed to ensure that your specific goals are met. After years of experience at many of America’s leading hospitals, we know that the most effective program is one that’s measured by three main criteria:

1. Are your staffing suppliers providing the quality candidates you need?
2. Are they supplying them on a timely basis?
3. And are they supplying them at competitive rates?

We’ll be happy to show you how we accomplish this for our clients. 

The cornerstone of our program is simple: It’s our job to enable healthcare entities to more-effectively drive quality patient care. 

As such, RightSourcing audits and manages all healthcare records for both clinical and non-clinical staff.  With this process, we can make the entire system more transparent for you. You’ll be able to access critical information that’s traditionally been accessed only by staffing agencies.  All required documentation is scanned and uploaded, tracked and reported, to ensure compliance with state, federal, and other regulatory entities, as well as client-specific requirements.   In addition, RightSourcing also maintains a TJC-certified travel healthcare agency - which enables us to stay up-to-date on TJC requirements for staffing organizations.

Good question. In fact, we’ve asked the same question of the staffing suppliers with whom we work. They appreciate our program because it’s a fair one, and because it offers them the opportunity to expand their offerings to new divisions and new clients.  All staffing partners have an equal shot of filling each order; it’s a level playing field. This allows the best staffing companies – the ones who are best able to recruit quality candidates in a short period of time - to rise to the top. In addition, there’s another big benefit to staffing companies - the need to constantly sell to hiring managers is eliminated in our model, saving these companies a lot of time, and a lot of money.

We receive positive feedback from both the local and national staffing suppliers that participate in our program.  In fact, we have numerous letters of recommendation from these companies. And they’re the ones who often introduce us to new-client opportunities!

Our goal, when working with a new client, is not to re-invent the wheel (unless you want us to!). We know the importance of a healthy corporate culture; and we always work within a client's culture to provide a smooth transition for hiring managers. Every one of their preferred suppliers will have the opportunity to participate in the RightSourcing program. In fact, we'll work closely with these suppliers to help them get a better handle on their strengths and weaknesses, and even make recommendations for improvement, if needed. Our goal is to maintain the manager's key supplier relationships. Our clients tell us we've been extremely successful in achieving this goal - and that we've earned the respect of even the managers who were most resistant in the beginning.
