Does Sift verify nursing licenses or medical credentials?
Sift highlights what candidates list on their resumes, including license numbers and expiration dates if provided. You'll verify active status through your state board or NurSYS, but Sift helps you spot incomplete or missing information before you invest time in interviews.
Can I screen for specific EHR experience like Epic or Cerner?
Absolutely. Add EHR system experience as a custom criterion with the weight that matters to your practice. Sift will score candidates based on what they mention in their resumes and quote the relevant experience.
How does Sift handle candidates with gaps in employment?
Sift scores based on the criteria you set. If continuous recent experience is important, make that a criterion. Gaps will surface in the evidence quotes, and you can decide case-by-case whether they're deal-breakers or worth discussing.
