Corporate Vision Founded in 2015, Healthdaq is a leader in modular recruitment services for the healthcare industry, believing that every healthcare organisation is capable of managing their own temporary, permanent, and international recruitment. The company is built upon the solid foundation of its core values, comprising innovation, speed and efficiency, customer-andcandidate-centricity, transparency and trust, collaboration and partnership, empowerment, reliability, excellence, and compassion. For a decade, the company has allowed these values to drive its mission of empowering customers, providing them with modular in-house recruitment services that enables them to achieve recruitment independence. At its core, Healthdaq is a multi-award-winning recruitment service provider that is dedicated to supporting organisations in their efforts at transforming their in-house recruitment and delivering exceptional value. “Our goal is to disrupt the monopolistic and stagnant multi-billion-pound healthcare staffing market in the UK and Ireland,” says Stephen McLarnon, Founder and CEO “by offering employers unlimited recruitment for a fixed monthly fee regardless of volume, occupation, or source market of the hires.” To achieve this mission, Healthdaq has spent the past two years piloting its innovative subscription-based recruitment model. This model includes unlimited branding and design services, paid digital advertising, recruitment events, and unlimited user licences for Healthdaq Cloud™ - a cloud-based recruitment platform specifically designed for the healthcare industry with input from five NHS Trusts during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to McLarnon, “Healthdaq Limitless, our subscriptionbased recruitment service delivers real value and savings for our clients. One of our clients refers to us as the agency-slayer because we have helped their organisation save over £10 million in agency staff annually.” Healthdaq’s subscription model comes with a variety of advantages to the user, which includes having access to specialised expertise on demand; being better positioned to compete with recruitment agencies for top talent; controlled recruitment costs through the service’s fixed fee; receiving support during moments of peak demand without having to permanently increase an organisation’s headcount; freed internal resources to work on higher-value and more strategic matters; and boosted efficiency across the entire recruitment lifecycle. “We have identified a gap in the market to provide modular, costefficient, and even cost-certain recruitment services,” McLarnon explains. “In its simplest form, our business helps employers to be better at recruitment; it is a business that is marketing-led, technology-enabled, and managed by humans. We help HR and internal recruitment teams to be better at in-house recruitment. We help our customers to re-imagine their recruitment, starting The healthcare recruitment market in the UK and Ireland is virtually unrecognisable from the Covid boom. Post-pandemic, the urgency has diminished, and organisations are no longer recruiting at the pace and scale. Instead, they are operating with significant financial pressures, focused on ensuring patient safety with a reduced headcount, and tasked with lowering their temporary agency spend. For healthcare recruitment companies, new opportunities for innovation and collaboration are emerging, alongside unforeseen challenges to be deftly navigated. One such company upending the healthcare recruitment market and creating a storm with its new subscription-based recruitment model is Healthdaq, a global provider of innovative recruitment services for the health and care sector. Remarkable Recruitment to Redefine Healthcare with attraction and process optimisation, while supplementing process-driven work that clogs up their desks and increases their time to hire.” Driven by innovation, Healthdaq’s subscription-based recruitment model is effectively creating a new category within the recruitment industry. Some HR Leaders are initially sceptical of the service and view it as an outsourcing method, which McLarnon explains is quite the opposite. “What most HR leaders don’t realise,” he says, “is that by using recruitment agencies, they are already outsourcing their recruitment. This has left their HR and recruitment teams bereft of knowledge, experience, and even capacity. We’re helping to rebuild internal capability.” Unlike traditional recruitment services, Healthdaq does not place candidates; the company provides modular services across the recruitment cycle, from attraction through to onboarding, to give employers a reliable and consistent way to manage in-house recruitment. Since the launch of this service, Healthdaq’s clients has seen significant reductions in their recruitment agency spending, alongside improved quality and speed with much greater transparency. The primary driver of increasing temporary agency usage at significant cost to public health and care organisations is their slow and inefficient in-house recruitment processes. Healthdaq and its innovative subscription-based recruitment model strives to change this. Visit Healthdaq’s website for more information on its new subscription service.
