THE CHALLENGE
Becoming the go-to healthcare employer
Croy wanted to establish CHRISTUS Health as an employer of choice. At the same time, he knew he needed to find a way to more effectively source and engage healthcare professionals. He was especially eager to better connect with the nursing community to meet the growing needs of the business.
THE SOLUTION
Hiring more medical professionals by building a brand
Once Croy discovered that LinkedIn was home to millions of healthcare professionals, he set out to build CHRISTUS Health’s employer brand across the platform. His team curated content geared toward nursing professionals on the CHRISTUS LinkedIn Career Page and sourced needed talent by investing in LinkedIn Recruiter, LinkedIn Jobs, and Pipeline Builder.
