A county hospital's residency rule requires nurses to live inside the county, and qualified regional applicants will not apply. What recruitment-strategy move should the CHRO take to the board?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If the "must live here" sign is turning away the only nurses who can staff the floor, the sign is the strategy problem. Widen the gate—or take it down—before buying more ads for a locked door.
Full Explanation
Policy barriers are recruitment-strategy problems when they shrink a scarce licensed pool below operational need. A residency requirement that excludes regional nurses is a self-imposed labor-market constraint, not a sourcing tactic. Repealing or narrowing it is a board-level strategy recommendation, not a recruiter workaround. Signing bonuses for residents, wholesale travel-agency substitution, or longer postings leave the gate in place and will not restore yield.
