How MASA improves the healthcare sector with its occupation nursing recruitment services

Following the impact of the global Coronavirus pandemic, healthcare providers have become more valued than ever, especially with regards to competent nursing staff who are on the front lines of caring for the communities which they serve.

As such, sourcing qualified and competent occupational nursing staff is essential to the functioning of any healthcare organisation today, however finding the best candidates can be difficult and time-consuming.

Measured Ability South Africa (MASA), which is at the forefront of recruitment in South Africa, has a long history of sourcing the best-in-class occupational nursing staff through its dedicated Greys Nursing Services division.

Here is a closer look at the comprehensive and tailored recruitment services which MASA employs in order to find the best nursing candidates in South Africa.

MASA’s nursing recruitment process

As a leading recruiter of nursing services in South Africa, Greys Nursing Services, which operates under the MASA umbrella, has successfully placed thousands of nurses in a variety of settings. These settings include medical facilities, residential care facilities, private practices and  residences.

MASA’s rigorous screening process, on-going training and large pool of candidates guarantee that only the most qualified, compassionate and capable employees are placed with their clients.

In order to participate in MASA’s benchmarking system, all of its candidates must first successfully complete the registration process, which is tailored to their individual skill sets.

This specialised recruitment process consists of the following comprehensive measures to ensure only the best candidates are sourced:

1. All candidates undergo face-to-face interviews, and their references are thoroughly checked, while background checks include that of criminal records and ITCs.
2. All RN/EN/ENA registration documents are vetted with the SANC, and further job-related medical tests are conducted.
3. Once successful candidates are hired, MASA provides a comprehensive orientation process that ensures the longevity of the candidates position at the company.
4. This process includes induction to company policies and orientation. Following this, the client provides orientation feedback to the MASA team to ensure that the candidate has fulfilled all the necessary requirements and that they are indeed a good fit.
5. Only when this full-scale recruitment and orientation process has been completed, and client feedback confirms that they are fully satisfied with their new employee, are candidates assigned to their position on either a contractual or ad hoc basis.
6. During the contract period, the candidate’s performance is managed, ensuring that they continue to provide their services at the performance level required by the client.

MASA’s unique service offering in the nursing sector

Each client at MASA is allocated a contract manager whose responsibility is to see to it that the client’s needs are consistently addressed within the parameters of the SLA. MASA’s exceptional service standards are  maintained by routine site inspections.

Site management is on call around the clock to address any urgent issues that may arise. Disciplinary actions implemented in response to poor employee performance are communicated to the client, together with the results of those actions.

Thanks to these dedicated post-recruitment services, MASA’s clients benefit from the positive results in the smooth running of their on-site operations, while the massive amount of administrative work is fully handled by the MASA team.
