NEITA Offers Recruiting And Relocation Service
By David [email protected]
“What we basically do is we are like a concierge recruiting and relocation service. So, if a company has a candidate, they connect us with them right away and we - kind of in a nutshell - we take care of selling the lifestyle to the region here, while the employer sells the livelihood. They take care of selling the company, the job, the career, but it’s kind of separation of church and state because employers can’t discuss several different ... ‘protected classes,’ that they can’t discuss, but yet a potential recruit to come to our area needs to talk about really personal things in their life,” she said.
The potential recruit brings those things up to NEITA staff who tries to “overcome any of those objections that they’re worried about,” she said. “Maybe they have a child or someone in their family with special needs. Then we help with that. ... Usually, the employer doesn’t have the bandwith of time anyway to get into that level of recruiting.”
Reecer said they’ve been doing this a long time on the side, but just formed NEITA.
“The past two years, we’ve had a 75% success rate. So, if we can get that candidate here for the interview, 75% of the time we will get them to take the job and move here,” she said.
Monday afternoon, NEITA had a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce at 920 S. Main St. (Ind. 13), North Webster.
NEITA works in eight or nine counties in northeast Indiana. “So pretty much an hour radius around Fort Wayne,” Reecer said. “All the way up to Michigan and we can accommodate any of those areas.”
She said they’ve done a lot of medical work over the past 10 years, including physician offices, and right now are doing a lot of work for Parkview.
“There’s such a shortage of nurses and physicians,” she said.
It really is the employee’s market right now, Reecer explained. “They pretty much are calling the shots, we all know that.” While the salary is important, many of the potential candidates will tell Reecer, “I can get a good job anywhere, so I need to know that this community is going to be really a great match for my family and me.”
Typically, she said, job offers are pretty good everywhere. Candidates will evaluate those things, “but a lot of times, it may just come down to, if all things are equal, ‘what is the best fit for our family?’”
Reecer said, “We believe, this is really one of the best places to live in the country. Many of us are transplants, so I feel I have the credibility to say to them, I’ve lived in Dallas, Chicago, Indianapolis; Columbus, Ohio; Dayton, Ohio; and I wouldn’t trade this area for anything. I think it’s better than anywhere I’ve ever lived.”
Last year, NEITA Financial Business Manager Kate Leach said, they brought in 28 nurses, two physicians and two high-level executives.

“It works,” Reecer said. “If you are just in such need filling these job vacancies, you call us and there you go, we’ll have about a 75% chance of getting who you want.”
NEITA is offering a new service this year.
“We have a lot of sales and marketing background, so, for instance, tomorrow (Tuesday, Feb. 8) I’m going to a stroke conference to help our client put on a conference to help them recruit, and maybe even help them source there,” she said. “So what we’re doing is bringing the element of northeast Indiana with us so that when they’re there in the booth, there’s somebody there selling their hospital, but then we’re there as a concierge service to northeast Indiana. So we can talk to them and answer any questions they would have and sell them on just coming to the interview. Because if you can just get them here for the interview, three times out of four, in partnership with the employer, we will convince them to come here and take the job.”
