Health systems in Chicago and beyond are facing unprecedented challenges filling and retaining critical roles like Nurses, Physical Therapists, Radiology Techs, Respiratory Therapists, and CRNAs. At the same time, traditional, transactional recruiting tactics are falling flat with today’s students and early-career clinicians — who are prioritizing financial stability, flexibility, and long-term career growth over sign-on bonuses alone.

Clasp works with leading healthcare organizations including Northwestern Medicine, Boston Children’s, and Trinity Health to help employers reach talent earlier, connect more authentically, and retain clinicians longer – similar to ROTC. By bridging the gap between education and employment, Clasp enables health systems to invest in students while they’re still in school through student loan repayment and financial wellbeing support — turning early investment into long-term retention.

Clasp’s retention-driven recruitment platform helps organizations reduce turnover and contract labor, broaden clinical talent pools, and remove real barriers to entry for students  so new graduates can focus on building meaningful careers. 

On March 19th, from 12–1pm, join leaders from Northwestern Medicine and Clasp for a practical discussion on how forward-thinking health systems are:

• Moving beyond transactional recruiting toward relationship-based pipelines
• Reaching students through unique channels like TikTok influencers and online communities
• Understanding what this generation of clinicians actually cares about — from financial wellbeing and flexibility to career development
• Making early, targeted investments that pay off in long-term retention
• Using psychological nudges and gamification to keep clinicians engaged over time

You’ll walk away with concrete strategies to modernize your recruiting approach, build trust earlier, and create retention programs that work for both clinicians and health systems.

Who should attend:
Talent Acquisition leaders, recruiters, campus and early-career recruiters, nurse recruiters, and higher education leaders interested in innovative student financial support and workforce pipeline models.
