The Problem
Tired of the Relief Staffing Struggle?
Expensive Recruiters
Traditional recruiters charge 15-25% of the candidate's first-year salary. For a $100K pharmacist, that's $15,000 - $25,000.
Hiring Gambles
You interview for an hour, check references, and hope for the best. But you won't really know if they're a good fit until they're already on payroll.
Bad Hires Are Costly
A bad hire costs 30% of their annual salary in lost productivity, training, and re-hiring. That's $30,000+ for a pharmacist position gone wrong.
Time-Consuming Process
Posting jobs, screening resumes, scheduling interviews — it takes weeks of your time that should be spent running your pharmacy.
Limited Candidate Pool
Job boards attract random applicants. You end up with 50 resumes and maybe 2 qualified candidates. Most of your time is wasted on unqualified applicants.
No Guarantee
Pay the recruiter, make the hire, and if it doesn't work out in 60 days? You're back to square one and out thousands of dollars.
The Solution
