Ray, Dustin, and Erick shared a vision to organically build Enliven. This involved establishing a strong foundation which first meant building a core team of clinical nurses and nurse managers. This core team assisted in recruitment thus expanding Enliven's footprint in Arizona and Texas. While recruitment techniques have expanded, the philosophy of nurse referrals has remained to be Enliven's strongest recruitment method. As the agency grew, so did its partnership roster. Through persistent cold-calling and consistent maintenance, Ray, Dustin, and Erick found themselves establishing new business relationships.
