Revolutionizing Healthcare Recruitment: The Power of PXT Select in Enhancing Hiring and Retention

The healthcare industry faces unique challenges in recruitment and retention, particularly when it comes to specialized roles like nursing. The high demand for healthcare professionals, coupled with the critical nature of their job, necessitates a hiring process that ensures the right fit between candidates and positions. Enter PXT Select, a tool that is changing the game in healthcare recruitment.

Understanding PXT Select

PXT Select offers a comprehensive assessment solution designed to help organizations make smarter hiring decisions. By evaluating a candidate's cognitive abilities, behavioral traits, and interests, PXT Select provides insights that go beyond the resume, enabling recruiters to gauge how well a candidate fits not just the role, but also the team and organizational culture.

The Impact of PXT Select in Healthcare

A case study involving a multi-billion-dollar healthcare operation with over 15,000 employees across several states highlights the transformative impact of PXT Select. Faced with high turnover rates and the steep costs associated with hiring failures, particularly in their Oncology Department, this organization turned to PXT Select as part of a strategic overhaul of their recruitment process.

By incorporating PXT Select assessments into their hiring workflow, the organization saw dramatic improvements:

  • A significant reduction in early hire failure rates by 50% for both RN and CNA positions.

  • A strong correlation between Performance Model scores and employee tenure, indicating the effectiveness of PXT Select in predicting long-term job success.

  • Remarkable retention milestones, with nurses matching 80% or higher on their PXT results showing stellar two-year retention rates.

Maximizing Compatibility and Mentoring with PXT Select

Beyond hiring, the organization leveraged PXT Select to enhance their onboarding process. Newly hired nurses were paired with mentors based on compatibility insights from the assessment, facilitating smoother transitions and fostering more effective mentor-mentee relationships. This proactive approach not only helped in reducing potential conflicts but also played a significant role in improving job satisfaction and retention.

The ROI of PXT Select in Healthcare

The implementation of PXT Select proved to be a cost-effective solution. With an initial investment in assessments, the organization saved significantly by reducing the costs associated with failed hires. The success of the pilot project in the Oncology Department led to the expansion of PXT Select assessments across additional hospitals, underlining the scalability and effectiveness of this tool in addressing recruitment challenges in healthcare.

Conclusion

The case of PXT Select in healthcare recruitment exemplifies how innovative assessment tools can transform hiring and retention strategies. For healthcare organizations grappling with similar challenges, adopting a data-driven approach with PXT Select can lead to better hiring decisions, enhanced employee satisfaction, and ultimately, improved patient care.
