Every step starts from zero
Regina Maria: zero to 100,000 members
Romania’s leading healthcare network needed 2,000+ hires a year across nursing, medical, and administrative roles — without depending on job boards for every one of them.
The approach
A community, not a campaign
Specialty micro-websites for each role family. Healthcare education modules that nurses actually want. Gamified engagement with points and rewards. Regular virtual and in-person career events — all feeding segmented talent pools connected to the recruitment pipeline.
“At scale, the community becomes a strategic workforce-planning tool — a warm pipeline of tens of thousands of engaged professionals we can activate the moment a role opens.”Talent acquisition team, Regina Maria
