Stanford Healthcare Achieves Zero RN Requisitions Over 90 Days for 15+ Months

Stanford Healthcare has had zero direct care RN requisitions open over 90 days for more than 15 months straight. Megan McCall runs TA and contingent workforce there, and she walked through how they got to that number on TAITT.

Her team built a Candidate Care re-engagement pipeline, keeping experienced candidates for high-priority roles on a structured waiting list. When a req opens, they have qualified people ready to move.

They also ran a Workday sprint: 30 days, 30-minute daily huddles focused on 30 prioritized action items in the system. Time to offer dropped 39% through fixing what was already there rather than adding something new.

The metric frame Megan runs her team on: aging reqs as the anchor. Watching aging reqs closely lets time to fill take care of itself. Only tracking time to fill ends up penalizing recruiters for finally closing the hard ones.

Where you put the attention shapes what the team optimizes for.

Megan McCall, two RogueHire awards in 2024, zero RN vacancies over 90 days. Appreciate you sharing the specifics on TAITT.

Do you think the aging reqs frame would shift how TA teams prioritize their week
