-: My name is Faiza Hassan.
I work in Human Resources in healthcare
specifically at Regions Hospital.
Well, our hospital hires
about two thousand employees.
So, we get a lotta questions
about how to apply
'cause I specifically work in recruitment.
I don't do benefits although we do get a lotta
questions about that.
There's a lot of compliance
when working in a hospital.
So, I make sure that people's background studies
and everything is clear
'cause they're working with patients
and vulnerable adults or children.
You essentially wanna make sure
that you vet your candidates
to be able to work at a hospital.
That's essentially our main goal.
A busy week would be
if I have a nursing orientation
coming up the following week
that entire week is spent
making sure that everyone is cleared to start,
and when I say cleared to start
I mentioned earlier we're big on compliance,
which another way to look at that
is we make sure that we're within the rules
for the state and what our hospital's
governed to do.
So, you wanna make sure there's
no criminal issues happening.
You wanna make sure that everyone's got
their right certifications.
For example,
if their position is a nurse
they require a CPR card.
You wanna make sure all their licensure
is in check.
If they're a PCA
are they on the nurse registry before they start.
Another part of my week would be
when we're selecting candidates
you want to find out who qualifies the best
and is a good culture fit for the hospital
'cause we're very diverse.
So, you'd be checking their references.
You'd be scheduling interviews
whether that's a panel interview
or just a simple interview
with the nurse managers.
Then there's the part of when I'm doing an offer.
My colleagues will set up an offer,
and I'll process that offer
and make sure that the candidate
who is now a new hire
knows what next to expect.
You always wanna give them a clear plan
so that they can plan too.
