CultivatID: Proactive Healthcare Talent Identification
Evansville, IN's CultivatID helps healthcare systems cultivate and track local talent from their high school education through their professional careers. Their community-centered approach provides unprecedented visibility into the regional talent pool, allowing for proactive engagement and the development of a long-term talent pipeline. The healthcare talent management platform is designed to address the critical shortages of hospital staff, including physicians and clinicians.
CultivatID's platform tracks students in Southern Indiana at various educational stages, including high school, undergraduate, graduate, medical school, and graduate medical education (residency). By engaging with candidates early and monitoring their educational and geographic progression, Indiana healthcare systems can build loyalty and identify individuals with existing ties to the community who are more likely to stay long-term.
This community-rooted strategy leads to higher retention rates and reduced recruiting costs. The platform features a dynamic database, candidate identification tools, relationship tracking, geographic analysis, education mapping, and pipeline analytics. CultivatID aims to help transform a healthcare system's talent strategy, improve outcomes, and strengthen regional healthcare capacity.
A healthcare talent management database, no matter how well-organized, is essentially a passive tool. Users create profiles and hope to be discovered. Most platforms have value limited to the potential connections it might facilitate.
CultivatID is built upon a structured design thinking community. By incorporating workshops, events, and regular meetings with community mentors, the platform turns young professionals into active participants in their own career development. They become more involved and attached to a community and progress into contributors to their local healthcare landscape.
The Southern Indiana CultivatID community is currently tracking high school students, undergrad and grad students, medical students, and specialties within graduate medical education (residencies and fellowships). The team plans for a public release of the platform and its capabilities in mid-September 2025.
