COMMITTED TO DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR THE RIGHT REASONS, IT'S GOOD FOR THE SOUL

Our Story

Our 20-year commitment to the healthcare community (formerly founders of The First String Healthcare) is deeply rooted from our personal experiences of extraordinary care and uncompromising compassion during life’s most challenging times. We fell head over heels and committed ourselves to a profession that would allow us the privilege of spending our days advancing healthcare professionals causes and careers.

We are absorbed in the intangible benefits of giving back and measure our success accordingly. Our history of providing financial, educational, and professional assistance to healthcare individuals, associations and organizations is unparalleled.

From the very beginning, we have remained very challenged and uncomfortable with the traditional self- serving delivery and fee model of our industry.

We set our sights on change, innovation, and the path to create true lifetime partnerships. Our approach is continually validated through significant outcomes and years of industry leading reputation.

OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM

Lucy

Lucy Pantoskey

Chief People Officer

By the time I decided nursing was the career for me, I had five children and could not find a clear path to achieve my goal. I am in awe of healthcare workers and the difference that they make in every community. Because of this, I generate great personal happiness by being able to support professionals and the facilities that they work in by taking some stress off so they can focus on the care of patients and families.

30 years ago in a Post-Operative room, my life’s priorities changed by witnessing the unconditional goodness of others. Thereafter, my professional happiness has stemmed from volunteering on healthcare boards and committees, donating portions of our annual revenue to healthcare causes, and providing healthcare related educational opportunities to those in need.

I am passionate about the healthcare industry simply because of the people I
get to work with. Not just Lucy and Brad, who I have learned so much from, but the Nurses – Especially. I am truly inspired and humbled of what these incredible humans do day in and day out. I believe in giving back to this community and showing my appreciation by creating a warm, supportive, personal and quality experience for both our candidates and our clients.

They say that when you are doing what you are meant to be doing, it doesn’t feel like work! For me, every day is different. I meet, learn, and problem solve with creative, smart people – and I’m inspired by a healthcare community that serves others selflessly. At Hireup, we want to do things differently and enhance the client experience by being industry disruptors. I really believe in our approach – we help hospitals deploy their resources efficiently, advance and champion the best in class leaders, and give back to healthcare causes that we value.

Giving back has always been my happy place. I am blessed that my chosen career provides me with the opportunity to make a difference beginning with the healthcare community that I support all the way to the patient outcomes at the bedside. My passion of volunteering at Children’s Hospitals has only deepened the level of respect I have for the healthcare industry as a whole. Each and every day I strive to help others and make as much of a positive impact on each and every person I encounter.

I think gift giving is pretty awesome!! “After becoming a new mom, I decided to leave my corporate job in the entertainment industry to be home with my little ones but quickly realized I was missing a creative outlet. I am humbled and honestly, still pinching myself, to be working with this amazing team where I have the opportunity to recognize and show appreciation to the incredible healthcare professionals for the essential role they play. Now more than ever, I feel extremely passionate about delivering thoughtful, memorable and motivating gifting experiences to our candidates because each of these recipients deserves to feel as special as they truly are!!

Director Leadership Recruitment

There are few professions that impact the community so directly, and healthcare happens to be one of those careers. I feel so grateful to wake up every day and get the opportunity to work with the leaders and clinicians that are impacting communities across the country. We’ve all had our personal ties to healthcare and remember those that have helped us in our times of need, just like we remember our teachers growing up. My goal is to be a recruitment partner, providing honesty and transparency to our candidates as they navigate the process. I find so much joy in the ability to form lasting relationships with these leaders and find inspiration in their accomplishments.

It is truly rewarding to work with healthcare leaders that inspire me on a daily basis. I love building connections and helping leaders find their dream jobs! I lost my mother to cancer at a young age and always have wanted to give back to the healthcare community. I am so grateful that my career allows me to make a difference!

Lucy and her team have always been my go to. Quality candidates, Integrity, responsiveness, cost and unparalleled customer service has always been consistent deliverables.

The [Hireup] team has saved my life many times over the years when I had a critical leadership vacancy. They listened to my needs, communicated transparently, and provided fast and high-quality candidates - and they always took the time to make the right cultural fit. I have often thought about their unique and personalized recipe for success, and I think it is because of 3 main ingredients - consistency, reliability, and authenticity (with an emphasis on authenticity!). And I am sure there are several other secret 'ingredients'. They have never disappointed me!

It has abundantly clear throughout this pandemic that expert leaders are essential. We will continue to require expert leaders as we navigate a dynamic and complex healthcare environment post- pandemic. At BJH, our goal is to attract talented leaders skilled at supporting our exceptional caregivers, leading change, supporting innovation, while making sure the unique needs of our patients, their families, and the community are met. This is an exciting time for us! And, because we are clear about where we are headed, we need partners who understand our strategic direction, will listen, consult, communicate, and be agile as we accelerate our growth and value to the community. Hireup Leadership is that partner for us.

Right leaders in the right positions has always been critically important for hospitals but even more so now as hospitals determine their new normal following a traumatic and difficult prolonged period of dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. When key leaders leave their roles or the organization, expectations, responsibilities, and deliverables remain.  Quick transitions or unplanned vacancies are no match for the Hireup team! They are available, communicate intentionally and honestly, and provide a consultative approach that I truly value. Having the right leaders in place is critical, and so is having the right strategic partner. I am always pleased by who they deliver - and how!
