The company was founded in 2006 as a healthcare recruiting firm under the name, Ideal Resource Group. The focus was on recruiting clinical pharmacists and we quickly began having success working with several companies in the home infusion industry. Through our work with these firms, we discovered a strong need for recruiting within this field. Many infusion therapy providers were frustrated that recruiters often did not understand the unique requirements and characteristics needed by a pharmacist working in this arena. In addition, nursing positions, sales personnel, and even reimbursement specialists were sometimes difficult to fill because specialized skills and experience are needed.
Ideal Resource Group soon began to focus its attention on alternate-site infusion and began building a database specifically made up of individuals in this field. This was key to our success as no other recruiting firm has a deep recruiting pool made up of home and ambulatory infusion professionals. Through our efforts to reach out to this group, we now have an opt-in email list of over 1000 professionals nationwide within this field. And that number is growing daily.
Because of our unique understanding and experience in home and ambulatory infusion, we are able to convey the passion and excitement of a career in this industry to potential candidates. We build strong relationships with candidates in this arena because we understand this business and can talk intelligently with them about their jobs.
In 2008, we launched an offshoot company, Infusion Careers, which focused all of our attention, marketing, operations, and the work of our 6 regional managers on the alternate-site infusion field. We have successfully placed candidates with many national infusion therapy providers, including Coram, Optioncare, Amerita, and Critical Care Systems. In addition, we have placed professionals with smaller regional providers, such as Home IV Care of Bend Oregon and New England Life Care. We look forward to continuing to strengthen the service we provide to the alternate-site infusion candidates and service providers. |
