Two Best Friends Working at CHS: Benefits of Travel Nursing, Allied Health Professionals – Successful Staffing Referral Program

Travel nursing was in high demand throughout the majority of the pandemic. During this period, travel nursing became so lucrative many nurses left full-time healthcare positions to become travel nurses. By the end of December 2021, travel-nurse pay average rates were close to $4,000 per week. Since that peak, travel nursing salaries have stabilized, but experts expect temporary nursing contracts will continue to account for a significant portion of the healthcare labor workforce. For nurses considering travel nursing and allied health professionals seeking the right healthcare fit, understanding the complete picture of what’s involved is critical. Making the proper healthcare recruitment agency selection is paramount to having a good experience and maintaining longevity. On this episode of the Catapult Healthcare solutions podcast, host Michelle Dawn Mooney got first-hand knowledge of travel nursing with two best friends working with Catapult Healthcare Solutions. Danyal Kelsheimer, a Registered Dialysis Nurse, and Brandy Miller, a Certified Surgical Tech, were joined by Catapult Healthcare Solutions’ National Recruiter, Cody Mirander, to discuss the benefits of being a travel nurse and what’s involved with the process. Mooney, Mirander, Kelsheimer, and Miller discuss the following: • Things to know about being a travel nurse and an allied health professional • Benefits of travel nursing • What healthcare institutions look for in the ideal travel nursing candidate “Over at Catapult, our main thing is building relationships,” Mirander said. “We don’t care if you end up working for us, or if you end up working with another company. At the end of the day, as long as you’re happy, that’s what we’re looking for.”

Into the Mind of Sales

Salespeople are one of, if not the most important people in any business; no one will know your business, let alone make sales or sell anything to anyone without them. Recruiters are also equally important to any business, as they help match it with the best talents available and help the organization grow. Many people tend to use sales and recruitment interchangeably, even though they go hand in hand. They even say they are the same thing, but are they really the same? How do these two jobs differ, and how do sales relate to recruitment? On today's podcast by Catapult Healthcare Solutions, host Gabrielle Bejarano chatted with Tony Williams, Account Executive, Catapult Solutions Group, and Taylor Culbertson, also an Account Executive at Catapult Solutions Group, to shed some light on these questions, talk about and define what sales and recruiters do, and how they can work better together. "You can't have one without the other—the sales team can't succeed without the recruiters, and vice-versa. You truly need both sides of the business to keep the engine running," Culbertson said. "They go hand in hand. From a business standpoint, we lean heavily on the recruiting team to find resources for our client and also cover different things going on in the market, such as lead generation, etc.," Williams added. Bejarano, Williams, and Culbertson discussed: How recruiting and sales are two different jobs Major obstacles that come up when it comes to the communication between these two roles Perspective on reading the lines between resumes All recruiting is not sales, and all sales is not recruiting; they are two different jobs. Sales is actively going out, finding the business, and actively talking to clients, finding out what the market is on the business side, and not necessarily on the candidate side. Recruiting is about getting talents—asking where they are coming from, where they'd like to go, etc.—and that can be used as intelligence for the sales team. Bejarano asked Williams and Culbertson to talk about the friction between salespeople and recruiters and how they can communicate effectively: "It boils down to the communication. If your style is not like your sales partner's, then there can be challenges. You have to figure out who you are working with and what their styles are and not try to mimic them but just meet somewhere in the middle," Williams explained. "Find who you work best with; there are people you are going to work better with, and the communication styles are going to match. It's easy to get lost in email and virtual meetings. Meet face to face to really gauge what the other person is trying to communicate. Be as transparent as possible from the very beginning," Culbertson added. Culbertson is the Account Executive for Catapult Solutions Group. Her main job is to bring in more business and provide business development to Catapult. She focuses mainly on the oil and gas and energy sectors and the municipal space. Williams is the Provider of Solutions along with Connector of Dots at Catapult Solutions Group. He started as a recruiter, transitioned to sales, and now focuses on business development.

10 Years of Catapult Solutions Group

Since 2013, Catapult Solutions Group has strived to be the very best staffing firm it can be. While it started out small, it has since grown to become a top staffing firm, winning multiple awards between 2021 and 2022, including being named one of the fastest growing firms in the USA. On this episode of Hire Education, to celebrate ten years of Catapult Solutions Group, CEO & Founder Patrick Burke sat down with two of his co-workers—Chief Delivery Office Mitch Blackwell and VP of Delivery (as well as Founder) Chris Burke—to talk about this monumental achievement for the company. Patrick begins by saying “Chris and I, and a bunch of others, wanted to start our own company and do it our way” before going into the story of how the company came to be in San Antonio, TX. While it took some time to nail down what exactly they wanted to focus on, they eventually got there, becoming bigger than they ever expected to be. The trio also discuss: 1. The difficulty of starting a new business (and keeping the lights on). 2. Stories of moments and events that occurred in those first ten years. 3. The many employees who have come and gone. While spending a lot of time telling stories, Chris also wants to make clear just how much has changed in the last decade, and how large Catapult Solutions Group has become. “What I realize today sitting here…it’s bigger than all of us,” says Patrick. This is bigger than Chris, and Mitch, and myself. There’s a huge company out there with seventy-five to a hundred employees we have, we have people intentionally in Europe, and so it feels really good to see something that’s much bigger than who we are.”
