Case Study:
Fast-Track Hiring of 5 Occupational Health Nurses Across 5 States
The Challenge
A new client needed to hire five occupational health nurses across Texas, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, and Massachusetts ASAP.
During discovery calls with their HR and hiring leaders, they explained the urgency:
- Nurses had to be on-site ASAP to meet service level agreements with their customer
- Delays would impact ROI and service delivery
Strict role requirements:
Current onsite manufacturing experience
- Certified in Occupational Health (COHN/COHN-S)
- At least 5 years of experience in occupational/employee health
Greys Approach
To move quickly, Greys divided the roles across our team. We skipped advertising and went straight to our national talent pools and networks.
Timeline to Delivery:
- Days 0–5: Engaged candidates, screened for certifications, experience, and start dates
- Day 6: Submitted 5 qualified candidates per role (25 total) with detailed highlights, interview times, and start availability
- Days 9–11: Client interviewed 3 candidates per role
- Day 12: Before offers, Greys delivered candidate feedback, including impressions of the role, company, and long-term fit
- Day 12: Client made 5 offers — all accepted
- +3 days: Compliance completed. Nurses started within 4 days to 3 weeks of offer
The Results
- 5 roles filled across 5 states in just 12 days
- 100% offer acceptance rate
- High-quality candidates matched certifications and industry experience
- Client protected SLAs and ROI
Lasting Impact
Over the last 5 months, Greys has continued to partner with this client, successfully placing:
- 8 additional Occupational Health Nurses
- 6 Athletic Trainers
- 1 Occupational Health Physician
Greys also provided ongoing support to ensure retention. When one nurse raised concerns about the role, we worked directly with the client to resolve the issue, all five remain happy in their positions.
Conclusion
Greys delivered a fast, high-quality hiring solution that allowed the client to hit critical deadlines and strengthen their workforce. Our combination of strong industry networks and proactive communication helped the client avoid costly delays, protect service levels, and achieve ROI.
