Reassess Needs Regularly

Field Nation recommends that your team use our maps feature to track your progress and identify areas in which you need more coverage. Look for areas in which you have many locations, but very few providers. Then, re-publish those locations so that providers in those areas will be notified that you are recruiting in their area. Alternatively, find providers who failed your recruitment process or did not complete your recruitment process but are in areas that you need coverage. Contact them directly and help them to complete your recruitment process. We recommend that you reassess your needs quarterly or bi-annually.
