MLS Global will find international candidates for your laboratory from the Philippines and sponsor them directly via an H1B Visa. For the first three years these candidates will work as employees of MLS Global in your laboratory. After the 3-year period these candidates will convert to your direct employees via green card sponsorship
Candidates will sign an initial 3-year work agreement to work for MLS Global at your laboratory in exchange for MLS Global sponsoring their H1B Visa. The candidates would then sign an additional 3-year work agreement with the hospital to be a direct employee in exchange for the hospital sponsoring their green card. MLS Global guides hospitals on how to go about sponsoring green cards for candidates.
The reason we do not sponsor candidates on green cards while being our employees is because this would only guarantee them at your laboratory for 3 years. Our focus is on long-term retention; by having the client do the green card sponsorship it allows them to set up an additional 3-year work agreement.
By having a green card, candidates become citizens of the United States. This is every candidate’s goal and allows them to accomplish their American dream.
Our immigration strategy is based on immigration rules set forth by the U.S Government that give special advantages to hospitals that are non-profits. Laboratories that are for profit have to abide by different rules when utilizing international recruitment.
Will my hospital be involved in the initial sponsorship and relocation?
MLS Global has a program to ensure that candidates will have all the resources to be set up for success once they arrive to the U.S. Within a few days of their arrival, they will be set up with bank accounts, housing, transportation, along with all the other necessities so they can focus on being successful in your laboratory.
As long as your current staff is welcoming and accepting of them there are very little to no issues. These candidates all speak fluent English, but they may quiet at the start as they perfect their English-speaking skills.
Our candidates all come with a minimum of 5 years of experience, along with ASCP certification. We can find candidates that are generalist or specialized in departments such blood bank, microbiology, or histotechnology.
This is the people business and there is always a chance a candidate may not work. In the case this happens MLS Global has a performance improvement period before they are terminated. Once terminated clients are no longer billed and MLS Global handles the responsibility of dealing with a terminated candidate.
There is no upfront fee and candidates work on an hourly bill rate for their 3 year contract working at MLS Global. See our video for an explanation on pricing here:
The Philippines has a tremendous talent pool of Medical Laboratory Scientist that work in hospitals with similar equipment and standards compared to laboratories in the U.S.
MLS Global pays candidates’ wages that are similar to your internal staff, we do this to ensure pay equity in the laboratory and this is a great way to increase retention. Candidates receive a generous PTO plan from MLS Global to allow them to take trips back when needed. In addition candidates receive a competitive benefits package as well.
Yes, we are always in touch with our candidates to make sure they are successful inside and outside of the laboratory from day 1 and onward. We like to have quarterly meetings with supervisors to ensure they are being successful in the laboratory.
