Fulfilling careers, not just filling positions

PS&D’s senior recruiter, Nick Boring, built a strong partnership with Island Health, a rural health system needing lasting physician placements. By visiting their team in Anacortes, nurturing candidate relationships and providing proactive recruitment strategies, Nick helped them overcome specialist shortages and improve retention. His dedication led to multiple long-term hires.
