As we celebrate National Health Care Recruiter Recognition Day, it’s important to note how the work our physician provider recruiter (PPR) team and National Recruitment Service (NRS) does to inform and impact every facet of VA’s mission.
Our recruiters are a wealth of information about VA and the federal hiring process, and are instrumental in bringing the most qualified candidates into our facilities to care for our Veterans.
To help us recognize our health care recruiters, we asked James Marfield and Larry Elliott, associate directors of NRS, to share their thoughts on this engaged and essential VA community.
“The quality of the PPRs coming to work for VA is off the charts!” said Elliott. “With a networked community of recruiters, sharing solutions and processes that fixed bottlenecks at another location, you can see the value of communication across local siloes.”
“It’s been impressive seeing people from all over the country and from varied backgrounds come together so quickly and enthusiastically to support Veteran care,” Marfield said. “Caring for America’s heroes is our country’s most important mission, and it is what drives our national health care recruitment consultants and PPRs in the field.”
