Concentric Recruiter Q&A with Zoe Mojica

Posted on by concentric

Working with a tech staffing agency can be a great way to navigate the hiring process more quickly. These agencies specialize in connecting job seekers with opportunities that align with their skills, interests, and career goals. When working with a staffing agency, you can expect to work closely with a recruiter who will get to know you and your background to match you with similarly aligned companies. They will also provide guidance and support throughout the application and interview process, helping you better prepare for future opportunities.

If you’ve spent time perusing our website or social pages, you’ll see that we describe our approach as personalized. To some, that may be a bit eye-roll-inducing. To others, it may prompt further questions. We sat down with Zoe Mojica, a Concentric recruiter, to learn more about what the Concentric process meant to her and further break down her perspective on hiring.

What would you say that you like most about working at Concentric?

We aim to build long-lasting relationships with our candidates and clients. We don’t just pitch jobs; we dig deeper and find out what our candidates define as “dream” careers. Then, we navigate the path with them to get them there.

Do you have a favorite aspect about working with professionals looking to advance and enhance their careers?

I love being an advocate for job seekers. When someone is thinking about taking the next step in their career, it can be a scary and daunting task to do alone. I can be that coach in their corner. I don’t want to simply find them a job. I want to find them the career path that fits their goals.

Can you walk through what the Concentric process looks like when starting to work with a new candidate?

Absolutely. It starts with a conversation all about the job seeker: their skillset, their job history, their hobbies, and where they want to be professionally. By asking about them as a whole person outside of the professional sphere, we can then find out what matters to them and their lifestyle. From there, we can define what a sustainable career looks like together and what steps to take to help get them there. 

Why do you think the Concentric recruiting process has proven so successful?

I think our process is so successful because we listen to what our clients and candidates want, not just what they need. Then we get to work to make the best match possible for all involved.

What do you think is the most challenging part of the job search process?

For job seekers, I think it’s hard to keep a positive momentum through multiple interviews. As a recruiter, the most challenging part can be building substantial trust and getting people to understand that they don’t have to do it on their own to qualify success. Companies like Concentric or our sister agency, Clarity, have teams that will advocate for their interests and advise them when they need. Working with a recruiter can be the best way to get in front of a Hiring Manager because we take you right to them.

Finally, at the end of the day, what is your number one goal when working with candidates?

My biggest goal when working with a candidate is ultimately to fulfill my role as an advocate and an advisor. I want to help job seekers navigate their job search and provide them with opportunities that will help them get to that elusive dream career.

Building Relationships that Lead to Results: 20 Years of Trusted Partnership Between RTG Medical and Concentric

Posted on by concentric

Through a shared commitment to strong leadership and clear communication, Concentric Corporation & RTG Medical have developed a winning formula that continues to set them apart from the competition. As a healthcare staffing agency, RTG is no stranger to a competitive market when looking for top talent. Like the travelers they serve, the executive and senior-level employees in this industry have a myriad of options when deciding what teams to join when openings arise. It’s more important than ever to provide a unique and compelling value proposition that sets an agency apart. This is where RTG’s partnership with Concentric Corporation comes in.

Who is RTG Medical?

Established in 2001, RTG Medical is a veteran-owned healthcare staffing agency of around 200 employees, based in Fremont, Nebraska. The company recruits and places professionals in Nursing, Radiology, Therapy, Pharmacy, and Laboratory in all fifty states.

In addition to being a six-time Inc. 5000 recipient for Fastest Growing Privately Held Companies, RTG Medical has been recognized by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) as a 2021 Largest Healthcare Staffing Firm in the United States, three-time Baird Holm LLP Best Places to Work in Omaha; sponsored by the Greater Omaha Chamber and two-time Excellence in Philanthropy sponsored by the Greater Omaha Chamber. Focusing on company culture and employee wellness, RTG Medical was also recognized as Merit Award’s 2022 Gold Medal recipient for Healthcare.

Concentric operates as more than a vendor

Hiring in any industry can be difficult and stressful. However, healthcare staffing is especially an overcrowded and competitive industry to work within.

“We know the demographic and even the more defined persona of what we were looking for most of the time. But we wanted an agent on our behalf to engage and vet candidates as we needed to remain anonymous to avoid counter-attention. From day one, Concentric has been a “remote” in-house partner. They understand and protect our interest and act more as an extension of our team than a vendor.  There have been times where we had no idea where to go to source candidates for certain positions, and Concentric has continued to find a candidate pool to address the need.”

RTG COO, Jeremy Guenther

The shared belief in creating strong foundations

One of the greatest perks of a partnership with a staffing agency is how well they know their industry. In most cases, this guarantees focus won’t go toward generic staffing needs. With a little effort, anyone can fill a job opening. But finding talent that truly fits—an employee who can grow and succeed at a company for the long term, and an employer who remains happy with that employee for years to come–that requires something more.

“If you have a void of genuine leadership and culture you won’t have productive teambuilding or sustained success,” Guenther says. 

Concentric’s core objective is to build mutually beneficial connections between companies and candidates so that all parties can grow toward sustainable success in whatever form that takes. While we work closely with job seekers, having a longstanding relationship with a company like RTG provides us with the unique opportunity to identify individuals that fit earlier on because we’re up to date with their current evolving needs.

Concentric builds communities

The team at Concentric is full of experts with decades of experience in the hiring process, aiming to connect quality companies and top-tier professionals to fill both permanent and contract opportunities. However, our roles go beyond the placement. By continuously engaging with the Concentric community, we can only get better at setting them up for hiring and career advancement in the information and technology spaces through transparent conversations and trusted referrals. While we’re proud of what we do, partnerships are about more than making promises— they’re about following through with results. Our process has provided an 80% retention rate of individuals we place after hire.

“If you want an agency to work on your behalf to solve a staffing problem and not just plug a current need, speak with Concentric.  If you want an agency that appreciates your success as a win of its own, speak with Concentric.  If you want a partner for the long haul, speak with Concentric.”

RTG COO, Jeremy Guenther
