Healthcare Staffing and Employment Resources
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Jobs in Healthcare
Why does your online application ask for all of my information, including certifications, up front?
We’ve streamlined our online application process to make it simple and convenient for you, the candidate. Because there are many employment-related requirements, our online application enables you to upload your certificates, licenses, immunization records and more at the click of a button. This helps us to gather important information from you before you even set foot in our door, allowing you get a jump-start on the placement process for the healthcare careers we offer.
If you don’t have the necessary documentation at the time you begin the application, you can always return to complete the process at a later time. Our online application process saves you from making unnecessary trips to our office to collect required documentation before starting an assignment.
How quickly can I start working on assignment after I apply with Medical Resources Staffing Services?
Once you have completed the application process and a medical staffing consultant is able to match you with an assignment you are interested in working, he or she will call to inform you about the job specifications of the new assignment, including the start date, duties, hours and estimated length of assignment, pay rate and other information.
If you choose to accept the assignment and complete all pre-employment requirements, you can begin work on the date given to you, which may be as soon as the next business day. Your medical staffing consultant will make sure you’re up-to-date with the employer’s immunization and employment requirements and may host a facility orientation if necessary.
How many shifts can I expect to work on assignment?
We provide assignments that range from one day or same-day assignments to long-term temporary and direct-hire positions. The length of assignments varies depending on the needs of our client. Please ask your medical staffing consultant about any details regarding your assignment that are important to you. Be sure that you are able to commit to all of the requirements of the assignment before accepting it.
Do you offer referral bonuses?
We offer referral bonuses between $250 to $500 for licensed candidates who are placed in temporary, temp-to-hire or direct-hire positions through Medical Resources. You may be eligible for a referral bonus for referring a qualified candidate to work with us.
What types of benefits do you offer?
Through our partner, Eplica, Inc., we offer our temporary employees access to a group insurance program through payroll deduction. We also offer a number of other benefits, including medical liability insurance reimbursement, select membership discounts, direct deposit, immunization requirement assistance and much more. All benefits are available to employees immediately upon start of the first day of assignment.
Do you offer direct deposit?
Yes. Medical Resources employees can choose to have their paychecks deposited automatically into their checking account. All direct deposits will activate within 14 days of enrollment in the program.
What if I am injured on the job?
Medical Resources is committed to providing the safest work environment possible. If you are injured in an accident during your assignment, report the incident immediately by calling the Eplica Injury Hotline at 888.237.1223. All accidents and injuries should be reported even if they seem minor.
Once the injury is reported, Eplica will refer you to an appropriate clinic for treatment. Eplica must give authorization to go to a clinic before you’re admitted to prevent your workers’ compensation benefits from being compromised. If possible, return to your assignment after clinical treatment. Follow-up care should be scheduled during nonworking hours.
Who do I contact if there is an emergency with one of your clients after office hours?
Medical Resources uses emergency paging through an automated voicemail system to address immediate needs during nonbusiness hours. Emergency messaging can be accessed though prompts on the direct dial line for your medical staffing consultant.
How often will I be paid?
If you choose to opt out of direct deposit, paychecks can be picked up at our branch office on Fridays during standard business hours from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Paychecks that are not picked up by the close of business will be mailed to your address on file. Contact your branch representative for more details.
