In 2023, MLS Global partnered with a 257-bed hospital in Maryland. This hospital laboratory was suffering from a high reliance on travel staff and had few to no applicants applying. The current laboratory staff were burnt out and management was under constant pressure to keep the lab running while also trying to fill roles.
MLS Global worked with the hospital to develop a 6-year retention plan for these international recruits and within 6 months the first of five staff arrived.
See what the laboratory leadership team had to say:
"Our international recruits from MLS Global came with experience from as little as 5 years to up 15+ years in the laboratory. They each had prior experience working in multiple areas of the laboratory and felt ready to take on any challenges they may encounter. We are fortunate to already have a strong sense of community in our laboratory and also have several employee that are Filipino. I think both of these attributes helped make our new international recruits feel more comfortable."

In 2023, MLS Global partnered with a 327-bed hospital in Maryland that was suffering from severe short staffing in their laboratory. Due to this hospitals location that was over an hour from a major city it was extremely difficult to find new applicants. The laboratory had a high reliance on travel staff with little to no applicants.
MLS Global was able to help them put into place a 6 year retention program and helped them bring in 5 medical laboratory scientist, all of whom arrived with 6 months.
Human Resources Leader for the lab Scott speaks to our process: "Our healthcare organization engaged MLS Global to support the hiring of international Medical Lab Scientists, and we were thoroughly impressed. During our initial discussion, Shawn and Cristito outlined the sourcing strategy, H1-B sponsorship process, and potential timing of our first hire. Each and every step of the process was thoroughly explained, and they provided regular updates on each candidate and eventually each new hire. MLS Global aided in solving our labor shortage by providing a pipeline of qualified candidates, making the sponsorship process easy for us, and ensuring that we had individuals in place for years to come. Equally important, MLS Global assisted the new team members in identifying housing options and in assimilating to the market and organization."
