SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
NMC utilizes Spin Recruitment Services to assist with its advertising efforts as a result of Request for Proposal (RFP) # 9600-78. NMC requires the assistance of an advertising agency in identifying highly qualified candidates for various hard to fill healthcare positions within NMC. The agencies selected to perform these services have a significant number of years of experience specific to the Health Care Industry. NMC has hard to fill positions such as Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Nurse Practitioners, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists and other various clinical positions which require extensive advertising outside of our local area. As a result of the number of active recruitments, and the difficulty of filling them, NMC has utilized significant online, newspaper, and direct mail campaigns to find qualified candidates to meet the needs of the facility and provide quality patient care.

The Office of County Counsel has reviewed and approved this amendment No. 4 as to form, and the Auditor-Controller has reviewed and approved as to payment provisions. The amendment No. 4 has also been reviewed and approved by NMC’s Finance Committee and by its Board of Trustees on August 12, 2022.
FINANCING:
