What does an open seat cost you every week?
An open role costs you more than the recruiting fee. Someone covers the work, waits for care, or stops a service. We ask what is falling behind and who is carrying it. Use your own figures to compare the cost of waiting with the cost of hiring.
The seat is costing you every week.
Overtime, diverted patients, a stretched team and a schedule held together by favors.
The posting brought the wrong people.
Applicants arrive, but the person who has done this exact work is employed and not looking.
You are the one chasing.
Screening calls, no-shows and follow-ups land on the desk of someone with a facility to run.
What does this hire really come down to?
An Epic training vacancy can leave onboarding classes uncovered while your application team handles build questions. We recruit for permanent Epic Credentialed Trainer positions by checking application experience, teaching work, and credential status. You define the learner groups, training schedule, and local approval process before we begin the search.
Start with the work this person will teach. Registration staff, inpatient nurses, and ambulatory clinicians need different exercises and explanations. A trainer familiar with one application may need substantial preparation for another. Ask which workflows the candidate taught, which learner groups attended, and who approved the lesson plans.
Separate classroom instruction from curriculum ownership and system build. Principal Trainers may own curriculum and training preparation; analysts handle assigned configuration work. Titles vary by organization. Your posting should state whether this trainer also revises exercises, supports practice sessions, or provides go-live floor support.
What do we check before you see anyone?
Credential status: Ask, “Which Epic application were you credentialed to teach, through which organization, and when?” A useful answer identifies the application, assessment process, and supporting records. Confirm what your organization will accept and what local assessment remains necessary. Teaching demonstration: Ask, “How would you teach a learner who repeats the same documentation error?”
- Look for a clear explanation, a guided practice task, and a way to check understanding without completing the exercise for the learner.
- Workflow accuracy: Ask, “What did you do when classroom instructions conflicted with a department's practice?” Strong answers describe recording the discrepancy, contacting the curriculum owner, and using approved guidance rather than inventing a workaround.
- Class preparation: Ask, “What did you check before learners arrived?” Listen for exercise access, training logins, sample records, equipment, and lesson sequence. The candidate should explain how they handled a broken exercise without losing the learning objective.
- Learner assessment: Ask, “How did you distinguish attendance from demonstrated learning?” Useful evidence includes observed tasks, documented assessment results, remediation, and communication with the training lead when someone needed further practice.
- Issue routing: Ask, “During floor support, how did you distinguish a training question from an access or build problem?” Look for specific examples of issue logging, escalation, and follow-up that stayed within the trainer's authority.
Where do we find them, and why would they move?
We look at hospital and health-system Epic education teams, ambulatory organizations using Epic, and implementation consulting backgrounds. Internal trainers may bring experience with recurring onboarding and refresher classes. Implementation trainers may bring concentrated classroom and go-live experience. We ask about both recent teaching volume and continuity after launch.
Some candidates may consider moving for a predictable teaching schedule, a permanent position after project work, or a better match with their application experience. We discuss travel, evening classes, onsite expectations, and support assignments early. A candidate's reason for moving should fit the actual schedule you can offer.
Which mistakes stall the search?
A common mistake is treating any Epic experience as teaching experience. Someone who used Epic daily still needs to demonstrate instruction, assessment, and accurate explanation of approved workflows. Another is advertising classroom work while expecting curriculum ownership. State who maintains lesson plans, approves changes, and prepares training exercises before candidates compare the position with their experience.
Assuming an outside credential transfers automatically. Identify your local credentialing process before setting a start plan or assigning independent classes.
How would we run the search for this opening?
Tell us the applications, learner groups, class formats, and expected support duties. We review credential records, work history, application exposure, and schedule fit. Use a teaching demonstration and a discussion with the curriculum owner to compare finalists. Identify your training lead and local credentialing steps.
Define the teaching assignment
We also clarify whether the position includes course revisions, attendance records, or travel between sites.
Screen the evidence
Our questions focus on delivered classes and learner problems. You complete your own credentialing and teaching assessment, including any clinical assessment relevant to the assigned instruction.
Select for the actual schedule
Confirm preparation time, class assignments, and escalation contacts before the offer. No upfront fee. You pay only if you hire.

Does Epic user experience establish trainer readiness?
No: ask the candidate to teach a short workflow and check whether the learner understood it. Daily system use does not show that someone can explain approved steps or assess performance. Credentialed Trainers commonly deliver approved materials and assess learner performance.
Should we ask for certification or trainer credentialing?
Match the credential to the assignment. Epic certification and trainer credentialing are not interchangeable; verify the candidate's documented status and your organization's acceptance process.
Can this trainer change course materials independently?
Set that boundary with your curriculum owner. Ask how the candidate proposed corrections and obtained approval, rather than assuming every trainer previously owned lesson plans.
How should we assess go-live floor support experience?
Ask for a specific issue the candidate encountered and where it was routed. A useful answer separates instruction from access, configuration, and clinical decisions.
What should we disclose about evening or multi-site classes?
Describe the expected schedule and travel before interviews. Ask how the candidate prepared between sessions, since teaching hours alone do not capture the workday.
What should you send us about this role?
Send us the role, where the person will work and what needs to change with this hire. We will ask about the work, not just the title. Share any license or schedule limits that could rule someone out before we begin the search.
Share your Epic applications, learner groups, and teaching schedule with Healthcare Headhunters. We can help you compare candidates against the classes and support work you need covered.

What do you get at each step of the search?
Our process for every search: calibrate the seat with you, map the market, research the real people, reach out to each one personally, qualify them in live conversation, then hand you a short list with a written brief on each person and support through the offer.
Search Calibration
You get an agreed brief: the work, reporting line, credentials, schedule, and offer you can make.
Market Mapping
You get a search aimed at relevant backgrounds, including people working now who have not applied.
Professional Contact Intelligence
We check appropriate ways to reach the people identified for your search. You do not have to chase them yourself.
Persistent Personalized Outreach
We explain your actual job and follow up with people who may consider a conversation.
Live Candidate Qualification
You see people we have spoken with about the work, interest, and practical fit, not an unread resume pile.
Candidate Intelligence and Process Support
You get a written brief and support through interviews and offer discussions. You make the hiring decision.
How long will it take to see a short list?
That depends on the job, schedule, available people, and what your employer can offer. We discuss those constraints before outreach and update you as candidates respond. We do not promise a fixed shortlist date. We check the job brief before arranging interviews. Tell us which parts of the role you can change.
What if a candidate receives a counteroffer?
We ask why the person wants to move and discuss competing decisions before an offer. A counteroffer can still change their choice. Keep the duties and offer clear rather than assuming more money settles every concern. Tell us early if parts of your offer cannot change, so the candidate hears it from us first.
What are the replacement terms?
We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement. Ask us to walk through those terms before you sign, so you know how a replacement would work for your opening and who would start it.
What do we not do in a standard permanent search?
We do not bill standard contingency search by the hour or simply repost your job. Temporary coverage is a separate arrangement. Any retainer or different engagement must be agreed, not assumed. Tell us early if you need coverage while the permanent search runs.
