With being one of the most vital professions in the world, a registered nurse is one of the top 3 hardest jobs to fill in America. It is extremely important to be efficient and strategic in your recruitment strategy. With the influx of the COVID-19 virus, the demand for nurses is larger than anything we have seen during our lifetime.
Between loss of services, recruitment, onboarding and contract nursing, the cost to replace or hire a registered nurse is estimated between $22,000 and $64,000. At Orange142, we have a number of solutions to assist with your recruitment strategy to find qualified registered nurses, while also building your candidate pool and employment brand.

Target potential candidates directly in their newsfeeds on Facebook & Instagram. With the ability to target by employer, recent nursing school grads, and even former nurses looking to get back in the field, social media is a great tool to reach prospects. Facebook in particular works well when setup with specific campaign goals such as driving direct response leads or generating web traffic to recruitment sites. Build your employer brand by driving likes to a customized Facebook Careers page with original content. - Connected TV

These personas can provide insights in to who your ideal candidates are as individuals including their lifestyle, interests, experience and needs. These provide actionable insights to influence creative strategy and paid media optimization. Additionally, the DMP allows for the ability to optimize and create look-a-like audiences for ad campaigns to help prospect NEW candidates that fit the persona and qualities of already converted recruits. - Email Marketing
Using the Orange142 database, we can target 1.6 MILLION RNs across the USA directly in their email with job opportunities.
