Healthcare Recruiting

Hospitals are struggling to recruit and retain qualified staff, particularly nurses, physicians, and other clinical professionals. This is leading to increased stress on existing staff and impacting the quality of patient care.

HR technology continues to revolutionize and streamline the entire employee life cycle, including recruitment, background screening and employee management.

The healthcare industry has evolved in recent years as technology continues to provide innovation for workers and patients alike. And like many industries since the beginning of the pandemic, healthcare organizations increasingly need to find qualified talent.

The healthcare industry is facing considerable challenges in recruiting and retaining top talent. With an aging population and a growing demand for services, healthcare organizations are seeking qualified professionals to meet patient needs. At the same time, high turnover rates and burnout are causing financial and operational disruptions.

Millions of Americans have changed or quit their jobs in recent years, leading to a movement now known as the “Great Resignation.” Over 38 million U.S. workers quit their jobs in 2021, and about 20 million quit in the first five months of 2022.

Workforce shortages and the COVID-19 pandemic have transformed the healthcare recruitment landscape. Many healthcare organizations are building world-class recruitment models to meet the demands of job seekers, compete with healthcare agencies and help staff feel valued.

Explore how your organization can rise to the challenge and create an exceptional recruitment model.

A labor shortage in the healthcare industry, from front desk workers and medical technicians to doctors and nurses, means that healthcare organizations are fiercely competitive in this new talent acquisition environment.  Successful healthcare talent acquisition requires a strategic and comprehensive approach to ensure that the right employees are hired and retained.

In 2022, it’s a prospective employee’s world, and never more so than in healthcare.

There is constant pressure to fill vacant positions in healthcare systems at all levels, from executives and physicians to nurses and support staff members.

More than two years into a pandemic, healthcare continues to face workforce challenges. High burnout and turnover have contributed to a continued shortage, and healthcare is working to find solutions.

While the COVID-19 pandemic wasn’t the only cause of healthcare labor shortages nationwide, it certainly exacerbated the situation. Now, two years later, healthcare recruitment has transformed into an almost entirely new landscape.
