Providing Critical Talent Solutions for a Hospital in Crisis

The Challenge

A major security breach at a leading teaching hospital left 25 critical security, privacy, and compliance positions vacant. With their internal team stretched thin and lacking specialized networks in Healthcare IT, the hospital needed to fill these roles quickly. The Chief Information Officer, familiar with LevelUP’s expertise, reached out for urgent support.

LevelUP's Solution

Leveraging a customized Project RPO model, LevelUP deployed a dedicated team of senior recruiters and a sourcing specialist, each possessing deep Healthcare IT experience. Our on-site lead recruiter managed the entire process, from interviews to offer negotiations, collaborating closely with hiring managers and HR to create competitive compensation packages and a seamless onboarding process.

Results and Long-Term Impact

In just six weeks, LevelUP successfully placed top-tier talent in all 25 positions. Our partnership delivered:

• 40% Recruitment Cost Savings: We delivered an efficient cost model that saved the hospital significant resources while securing the best talent.
• Rapid Response in a Competitive Market: Despite a nationwide surge in demand for Health IT professionals, we met the tight deadline and attracted the right candidates.
• Empowering the HR Team: By handling the critical IT roles, we freed up the hospital’s HR team to focus on high-priority clinical roles, leveraging our robust security and privacy network to attract top talent nationwide.

Lasting Impact

Four years later, these hires continue to thrive, contributing to significant improvements in the hospital's security posture. The hospital has since revamped its security and privacy departments, implemented cutting-edge security software, and effectively prevented further breach attempts. The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) we placed has become one of the most respected leaders in the industry.
