Our 16-member Human Resources staff is headed by Kathleen Arlinsky, a professional with more than 25 years of experience in all aspects of human resources management. The following features make CRA-staffed healthcare facilities among the best in the United States:  

  • A variety of outreach strategies designed to generate a large number of candidates from which to choose
  • A standardized screening process that includes a telephone interview and preliminary verification of references
  • Meticulous credentialing supported by Intellicred™, a proprietary software program
  • A competitive compensation package and positive corporate culture that fosters excellence and longevity
  • Maintenance of databases of pre-qualified candidates from which CRA draws for current and future needs      

 Recruitment
Our recruitment process focuses on local labor markets or expands to include the region or nation as needed. Outreach tools include internal databases and Web sites, newspaper ads, professional publications and job links, direct mail, job fairs, conferences, military networks, educational institutions, and local employment agencies. (For information about our employment opportunities and application process, click on Employment Center).

 Credentialing
CRA guarantees that every employee presented for privileging is fully credentialed per the position requirements. Skilled personnel independently verify every element of the applicant’s credentials. CRA uses a proprietary software tool, Intellicred™, to manage the process by creating files and timelines, generating correspondence, and flagging files for timely renewal of licensure and other credentials.

 Retention
Our low-turnover rates reflect a successfully designed retention plan. We conduct in-depth research for every staffing contract to establish labor market benchmarks for the required positions. CRA also offers a competitive benefits package, including health and disability insurance, paid days off, opportunities for professional advancement, and access to corporate and project management.
