Flexible RPO solutions from Cross Country Search help healthcare facilities maintain hiring momentum and fill talent gaps during the holiday season.

<p>The holiday season in healthcare brings unique challenges: higher patient volumes in some service lines, year-end operational priorities, and employees taking well-earned time off. For many healthcare facilities, this also means Talent Acquisition teams are operating with reduced capacity just when hiring demands remain high.</p>

<p>Unfilled positions or slow recruitment cycles during this period can create costly ripple effects, from staffing shortages that impact patient care to burnout among remaining team members. This is where flexible Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) solutions from Cross Country Search can step in to keep your hiring pipeline moving.</p>

<h2>Keep Hiring Momentum During Peak Vacations</h2>
<p>With key TA team members out for the holidays, recruitment efforts often slow down. Our RPO experts work as an extension of your in-house team, ensuring job postings stay active, candidates are screened quickly, and top talent doesn’t slip away to competitors.</p>

<h2>Scale Support Up or Down Based on Need</h2>
<p>One of the biggest benefits of our RPO model is flexibility. Whether you need short-term coverage for one recruiter or a team to handle multiple requisitions, we tailor our support to match your seasonal hiring demands—without the overhead of adding permanent staff.</p>

<h2>Maintain a Positive Candidate Experience</h2>

<p>A lag in communication or interview scheduling during the holidays can cause candidates to lose interest. With our dedicated RPO team, you maintain consistent candidate engagement, ensuring a smooth and professional experience from application to offer.</p>

<h2>Reduce Time-to-Fill, Even in Q4</h2>
<p>Our RPO specialists leverage advanced sourcing strategies, an extensive healthcare talent network, and proven screening processes to shorten your hiring timelines—so you can secure the right talent faster, even in a season where speed matters most.</p>

<h2>Seamless Integration with Your Processes</h2>
<p>Cross Country Search RPO teams embed into your existing workflows, ATS, and culture. You get immediate support without disrupting your internal processes, so your hiring continues at full speed with minimal ramp-up time.</p>

<p>The holidays shouldn’t mean hiring slowdowns, especially in healthcare where every role impacts patient care. With flexible RPO support from Cross Country Search, you can bridge Talent Acquisition gaps, maintain hiring momentum, and enter the new year with the right people in place to achieve your goals.</p>
