The shifting demand and supply of qualified healthcare professionals is having a profound effect on recruiters and the organizations they represent. Recruiters are finding it harder than ever to fill niche positions with top talent, facing fierce competition and a job marketplace that favors talent. On average, 30 percent of positions stay unfilled for four months, with recruiters carrying an open position load that is 49 percent higher than recommended.
This often results in below-optimal staff-to-patient ratios and disrupted client satisfaction, along with increased operation costs due to overtime costs and decreased reimbursement.
