About People in Health Care Talent Management Summit
With patient care being their number one objective, no other industry has a more crucial need for top talent and management of that talent than health care. Succeeding in today’s turbulent environment demands a mix of strategic talent management and business know-how. The passing of the health care bill by congress drove long standing issues of staffing shortages, leadership capability and financial stability to the forefront of the health care argument. One of the biggest issues faced by health care organizations was how to staff & pay for patient care. The People in Health Care Talent Management Summit takes place from February 7-8 at the Crowne Plaza Houston.

Technology, Advanced Manufacturing/Energy, Financial Services and Healthcare Segments

BROOKFIELD, WI – January 18, 2012 – Pinstripe, Inc., one of the nation’s leading recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) firms, today announced record growth during 2011. The unprecedented number of client wins and contract extensions underscores a growing demand for Pinstripe’s customized approach, consultative style of working with clients, and service excellence.

Aberdeen Group’s research has uncovered that recruitment process outsourcing is one of the ways top performing organizations are meeting demand. In a recent announcement of its “State of RPO 2011,” Aberdeen took the position that, “companies are looking to RPO solutions to help them innovate the hiring process.” In addition, global consulting and research firm Everest Group identified RPO as one of the fastest growing outsourcing market segments in their 2011 RPO Annual Report.

“As the analysts predicted, business challenges have only generated greater awareness of RPO’s cost and scale benefits. As a result, our industry has seen strong growth and M&A activity in 2011. While employment overall remains high, the demand for skilled technical personnel is still a challenge for employers. There is still a war for talent, and there always will be,” said Pinstripe CEO Sue Marks.

“In this market, companies need a partner to help support and challenge them to attract talent that will allow them to do more, faster and better, than their competition. This is exactly where Pinstripe excels and why we have had such a transformational impact on our clients’ businesses,” Marks added.

Becker's Hospital Review: 4 Best Practices for Supporting Employed Physicians' Independence

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 12:44:00 PDT

Pinstripe Healthcare Vice President and Practice Leader, Mike Soisson, is quoted throughout this article on the importance of creating a team mentality within a provider organization, while still allowing some independence for employed physicians.

Physicians in private practice are accustomed to having a great deal of independence in their work. This independence comes at a cost, however; they are responsible for running the practice, which may take time away from their time with patients. For physicians looking for a relief from business management and a greater focus on patient care, hospital employment may be an attractive option. But, physicians should not have to completely sacrifice their independence for this benefit. Having complete control over employed physicians can reduce physician satisfaction and subsequently reduce their productivity, the quality of care and patient satisfaction, the opposite of physician integration goals. However, hospital executives can strike a balance between granting some independence to employed physicians and fostering a team mentality by adhering to the following best practices.

Pinstripe and Ochre House Host Global Think Tank | Human Resources Leadership Concludes Evolution is Dependent on Global Talent Capabilities

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:16:00 PDT

BROOKFIELD, WI – September 28, 2011 – Pinstripe, Inc. and Ochre House, partners and international leaders in recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), together announce the findings of their Global Think Tank. Hosted by client-partner VWR, the event brought together HR talent acquisition leaders from such well-known companies as Rogers Communications, QVC, Siemens Healthcare, Johnson and Johnson, and Moog.

In summary, the dynamic group discussion concluded that today’s HR leaders must leverage global standards and tools to meet the needs of local markets. They must move away from a transactional mentality and open themselves to implementing plans that account for longer-term hiring requirements and closely align to business strategies.

“Many of the topics explored during our discussion uncovered trends that we are seeing across our clients and around the world,” explained Courtney Cook, senior vice president of global business practices for Pinstripe. “More and more global organizations are seeking specialized partner organizations to bridge the gap between overarching HR strategies and nuanced local execution.”

Facilitated by talent management thought leaders from both sides of the Atlantic, the discussion explored the latest strategic thinking, challenges and opportunities related to global talent acquisition today and in the future. An opportunity for like-minded global heads of recruitment to share best practices and innovation, this gathering consisted of roundtable discussions about the future state of global talent acquisition and how to leverage global talent management solutions as part of organizational talent acquisition and staffing strategies.

Primary findings from the discussion included:

Global and multinational firms want the best of both worlds – the ability to have a global strategy, but local expertise with service delivery in each unique market;
Global capability must be based on consistent foundations and through centralized leadership – brand, technology, metrics, participant experience – but implemented, managed and executed locally;
Business leaders with international experience are a must, irrespective of their physical location -the barrier to truly global organizations and global HR functions is finding people who have an international mindset and global experiences; and
Organizations must cultivate and promote an employer brand that resonates globally; one that is authenticated throughout the entire employee experience.

Continuing the conversation for a broader audience, Ochre House and Pinstripe’s global experts will come together for a joint webinar on Thursday, October 20 at 4 p.m. GMT (10 a.m. CT) to present the findings in more detail and answer attendee’s questions about global talent acquisition and management.

Medicare cuts are likely, though details are unclear, and CEOs must build sophisticated plans on how to deal with this daunting change.

As healthcare costs rise and the economy struggles to regain balance, new leaders will emerge with sustainable cost effective solutions to provide quality care for seniors.

Pinstripe Announces Social Media Day Contest Winner

Thu, 30 Jun 2011 14:18:00 PDT

BROOKFIELD, WI – June 30, 2011 – Pinstripe, Inc., a leading human resources and recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) specialist and the second largest pure play RPO firm in the country, announced today that the winner of their Social Media Day contest is a recruiting manager named Lauren Haymond from Stamford, CT.

Asked to describe their best social recruiting success story, individuals submitted tweets and emails illustrating how they have leveraged their social networking skills to fill positions.

The winner described the challenge of being the sole recruiter for a boutique technology consulting firm that did not use outside search firms and had no access to job boards. Haymond focused on LinkedIn after determining that a large community of IT professionals use LinkedIn to manage their career information and market themselves. Using LinkedIn, Haymond was able to establish a solid network, build a community of IT professionals, make more than 30 hires, and increase the overall caliber of talent in the organization, without incurring search fees. “Through the use of LinkedIn, I was able to identify and network with candidates that would have never heard of my company. I used all of the basic search tools, joined groups, and consistently added contacts. Working the network I built through LinkedIn, I was able to make better placements faster,” Haymond explained.

“It’s a pleasure to congratulate Lauren for submitting the best social media story and winning our contest,” commented Sue Marks, CEO, Pinstripe. “As Lauren’s story illustrates, it’s all about figuring out how to meet your candidates where they are. Effectively, finding, and networking with people is what makes great recruiters successful, and social media provides the ideal forum for taking this practice to the next level.”

“I believe that the use of social media for recruiting and branding a company is a key to success and is the future of recruiting. I hope that my story leads other corporate recruiters to utilize all the capabilities of LinkedIn and maximize the opportunity of social media recruiting,” Haymond added.
