What to focus on

Ask about the role

Collect relevant experience, qualifications and availability through job-specific application questions. Keep internal screening questions separate.

Keep the team aligned

Review candidate profiles and notes together. Shape each vacancy’s hiring stages around the decisions your team needs to make.

Give candidates a next step

Publish a branded careers page, share interview availability and prepare an offer with a signing link.

A healthcare ATS for clinics and care providers

A practice manager recruiting a medical assistant and a care provider recruiting support workers need a clear view of applicants, feedback and next steps. Draft brings that recruiting work into one workspace, so a CV, an interview note and a hiring decision do not have to live in separate spreadsheets and inboxes.

Use it for clinical and non-clinical vacancies: nursing, allied health, care support, reception and practice administration. Choose application questions and stages for each role. For staffing agencies, Draft also supports client review and paid shortlist sharing; assignment management, payroll and shift rostering are separate requirements to evaluate.

Build the application around the vacancy

Start with a job page that explains the location, working pattern and essential experience. For a nursing vacancy, you could ask about specialty experience, the relevant professional registration and availability. For a reception role, focus on patient communication and practice administration experience instead.

Draft’s application questionnaires collect those answers alongside the candidate record. Your team can use a separate internal questionnaire for screening or interview feedback. An applicant’s statement about a qualification remains a declaration until your team completes the appropriate check.

Move from review to interview to offer

Set up job-specific stages such as Application review, Hiring manager review, Interview, Pre-employment checks and Offer. These are suggested stage names you can configure in Draft, rather than an automated healthcare clearance process. Keep notes about the next decision with the candidate.

Share available interview times and connect Google Calendar to coordinate a conversation. When you are ready, prepare an offer and follow candidate and company signatures. Paid workflow rules can move stages, add tags or send emails in response to supported application events; they do not verify a professional license.

Hiring healthcare staff in the United States

Define the profession, state and work setting before deciding which information to request. A registered nurse vacancy and a non-clinical practice role should not use an identical screening form. Use Draft to collect initial answers and organize the recruiting stages around your employer’s process.

Keep license verification with the appropriate issuing board or verification service. Nursys provides nurse licensure services; consult its current coverage and service terms directly. Draft does not currently provide a native Nursys integration, automatic license verification or credential-expiry monitoring. Evaluate data handling and contractual requirements with your organization before storing sensitive documents.

Hiring healthcare and care staff in the United Kingdom

Build questions around the vacancy, care setting and relevant professional registration. Name the person responsible for reviewing each step, and use hiring stages to make handoffs visible. Keep specialist checks in your established checking process.

For NHS roles in England, consult the NHS Employment Check Standards. For other UK employers and jurisdictions, establish the requirements that apply to that organization and role. Draft does not perform DBS, right-to-work or professional-register checks, and a completed questionnaire is not evidence that those checks have been completed.

A few useful answers.

What is a healthcare applicant tracking system?

A healthcare ATS organizes recruitment for clinical and non-clinical roles: job advertising, applications, candidate review, interviews and offers. Some specialist products also provide credential tracking or verification integrations. Check those capabilities separately rather than assuming every ATS includes them.

Can I use Draft for healthcare recruitment for free?

Yes. Draft Free includes 1 open vacancy, 2 recruiter seats, a candidate pipeline, team notes and a company careers page. Workflow automations, bulk candidate emails and candidate sharing require a paid plan.

Does Draft verify licenses or track credential expiry?

No. Draft can collect application answers and display qualifications from a candidate’s CV, but it does not currently verify professional licenses or provide dedicated credential-expiry tracking. Your designated reviewer or specialist service must complete and document the required checks.

Can US and UK healthcare employers use Draft?

Draft supports general recruiting workflows for employers in both markets. Configure role-specific questions and stages, and separately evaluate the professional checks, data handling and contract terms required by your organization. Draft does not claim NHS approval or healthcare-specific compliance certification.

Can different healthcare roles have different hiring stages?

Yes. Draft supports job-specific hiring stages and separate application and internal screening questions. A nursing vacancy can use a different review process from a medical receptionist vacancy.

Does Draft include staff scheduling or clinical credentialing?

Draft supports interview scheduling. It is not a staff rota, payroll, clinical privileging or primary-source credentialing system. Evaluate those requirements separately when choosing your recruiting tools.

Check the requirements at the source.
