Six steps to hire a nursing

  1. Set the pay range first. Today’s 32 nursing postings that state a yearly US-dollar range offer $92K to $155K for the middle half. Three quarters of them offer more than the lower figure. 18% of the postings state pay; in several US states and EU countries the law requires it. See nursing pay in detail.
  2. Write the description. Start from the nursing job description template, then check it with the job description checker: the pay, the place of work and the must-haves should be clear before the second paragraph.
  3. Decide where the person can work. 31% of today’s nursing postings are remote and 1% hybrid. If yours is remote, name the countries or time zones; “remote” alone brings applications you cannot accept.
  4. Post it where people look. Post the job free on this site, add it to your own careers page and send it to people you know who do this work.
  5. Screen for the work, not the titles. Ask each candidate to describe a result from similar work, with a number. Score every candidate on the same points with the interview scorecard; the nursing interview questions show what good candidates prepare for.
  6. Decide quickly. Half of today’s open nursing postings have been up more than 78 days: a candidate who waits for your answer may be talking to other employers meanwhile. Tell every candidate when you will decide, and keep to it.
