About Me
I have been in the Healthcare recruiting space for over a decade. I have extensive experience sourcing candidates and have a proven track record of working both with candidates as well as hiring managers, CEO’s Clinical Directors, and Founders. For the past 4 years, I have worked with healthcare startup companies working arm and arm with them and their teams to support their hiring efforts and in return grow their company.
Prior to Healthcare Recruiting, I have done full-life cycle IT recruiting as well as Healthcare IT recruiting. I have owned two prior companies and have a knack for working with hiring managers and Founders directly and matching them with not only qualified candidates but candidates that are a good match for their companies’ culture.
Over the years I have been able to pivot and adapt to industry demands and changes, and today I feel I have the perfect win/win situation for both you and your company as well as me and my company.
I pride myself in being a relationship builder, and vested partner in helping Founders grow their business.
My Approach
My model is a bit different from a traditional recruiting firm. I work with start-up companies who have many or ongoing provider needs in order to grow their business. When we determine that we are a good fit for each other, I jump in with both feet. You will be able to consider me a part of your team. I will be there to support you and your team in whatever manner you need with respect to recruitment. I only work with 2 clients at a time, therefore, having the time needed to get the job done.
Benefits of working with me!
I work with no more than 2 clients at a time so you have me as much as you need me.
I have a network and relationships with the Providers you are looking to hire, and a proven process to find your ideal target market.
My financial model is ideal for healthcare start-up companies with many or ongoing NP hires to fill.
You have a designated recruiter without having to pay big salaries, benefits, healthcare, vacation, or taxes (I work as an Independent Contractor).
What are you waiting for? Schedule a call with me today to see if we are a good fit.
How It Works
Set Up a Discovery Call
Here we will get to know each other, learn about each others backgrounds, goals, and needs, and then determine if we are a good fit to work together.
Sign a Service Aggreement
Next, we will sign a Service Agreement that I will provide to you, to be sure we are on the same page as well as make our time together binding.
Get to Work
Finally, I get to work. I will schedule an in-depth call with you and your team to learn as much as I possibly can about your requirements and the culture of your company, as well as what your ideal candidate looks like. I will begin outreach and qualification process and provide you with a steady stream of qualified candidates.
Testimonials
“It has been my pleasure to work with Shana Cannon when CareSpan Integrated Network hired her to help us establish a National Network of Nurse Practitioners who owned or aspired to own an Independent Practice. This was a new emerging field with various levels of state-regulated practice options available to Nurse Practitioners in each state. There was no single entity or compiled list to identify who these individuals were. The complexity of this task was daunting—except to Shana. In the time that Shana has shared her expertise with us, we have gone from zero to 80 practitioners, and the numbers keep growing.
Shana has an exceptional work ethic, a moral integrity and a virtual presence that offers both candor and respect in a manner that generates trust in the person who calls. She has a great way to ‘hear’ what is important to the clinician seeking information on what to do or where to go. Further, after almost 12 years in the healthcare field, she understands the context and complexity of the working environment in a way that helps them see more clearly what it is they are really aspiring to, as well as what it would take to get there.
Mid-point through her tenure with us, the company invested in a company called Sales Leap, designed to enhance recruitment by linking the process to the automated system – HubSpot. She put in untold hours attending teaching seminars and individual company coaching sessions to master the full capacity of the system. Then she proceeded to develop an integrated system to capture inquiries and calls, send forward information and encouragement in a timely fashion, all done automatically until the contact had another question for her to answer.
Ms. Cannon is a great team player. She works closely with others who do sourcing, make discovery calls, and post new content. Shana maintains a dynamic FaceBook page whose membership is growing exponentially. This is due, in large part, to the style with which she engages with the field – supportive and informative vs marketing and hard-sell driven. This is the preferred way to interact with the nursing profession that is so relationship-oriented.
Our company has been well served by the skills and capacities that Shana has shared with our company. American-APN is now a viable and vibrant company, thanks in large part, to the expertise she shared with us when we were a small start-up company. I can see that the size of the company, the maturity of the field being recruited into, and the amount of resources available are not a barrier to an expert like Shana. Your company would be well-served by her contribution.”
“YHA and ATC Consulting entered into a partnership in 2014 and have maintained a business relationship since then. ATC has sourced hundreds of nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and physicians for field clinician openings in over 25 states across the country. Our main representative, Shana Cannon, has always worked diligently to provide us quality providers in a swift manner to meet our annual goals. YHA (Humana at Home) values the partnership that we have formed over the years as long-time business partners and we look forward to our continued working relationship..
“We recently hired ATC Consulting for our recruiting needs and their services are absolutely phenomenal. We were able to hire an absolutely great Mid-level. Our interviews were very successful, as the people sent to us were all great. Honestly, it was hard to pick which candidate to hire.
The process was smooth and very efficient.
We would highly recommend ATC Consulting to anyone needing excellent recruiting services..
“We have been working with ATC consulting for the past few years and have been able to share an amazing experience by working with their team. Shana Cannon and her team of recruiters are very knowledgeable about the Healthcare market and did a thoughtful and thorough job of gathering information about the roles we needed to file and our organization before the search even began. They also managed the search in an organized and efficient way. We’ve been very happy with ATC Consulting and will not hesitate to continue using their services..“
