PHIG funding has improved the Metro Public Health Department of Nashville and Davidson County’s (MPHD) ability to recruit a strong public health workforce. It has allowed MPHD to hire a second recruiter, streamlining outreach and sourcing while improving application response times. This change has brought a measurable decrease in the time-to-hire metric and has allowed MPHD to expand recruitment outreach, including posting on the ASTHO Public Health Careers page. Additionally, PHIG funds have allowed MPHD to invest in targeted advertising to recruit for hard-to-fill positions, such as a Veterinarian for the Metro Animal Care and Control facility.
