Healthcare Staffing Service

Healthcare staffing service is no different than any other staffing services, the key to maximizing your efforts is to understand your target audience. So let's first take a look at healthcare industry and healthcare professionals.

According to BLS, healthcare was the largest industry in 2002, providing 12.9 million jobs. There are nine segments within the healthcare industry:

• Hospitals, public and private
• Nursing and residential care facilities
• Offices of physicians
• Offices of dentists
• Home healthcare services
• Offices of other health practitioners
• Outpatient care centers
• Other ambulatory healthcare services
• Medical and diagnostic laboratories

Healthcare professionals include nurses, physicians, pharmacists, dentists, medical assistants and many others. These professionals have the following characters:

• They are part of a 24-hour profession
• They tend to be older than workers in other industries, due, in part, to the high level of education and training required for many health occupations.
• They are more likely to remain employed in the same occupation and tend to passive in nature when it comes to seeking new opportunities.
• When considering a new position, healthcare professionals look at the facility and its location, shift, compensation, employee treatment and benefits.
• 90% of all healthcare job openings are not advertised.

Once you understand the nature of this industry and the professionals, you'll see that there's no difference working in healthcare staffing service than in other industries.

Now, there are several ways that a healthcare staffing service firm can make a placement:

• An old-fashioned recruiter may pick up yellow books and cold call hospitals or physician offices to see if they have a job opening and who's the hiring authority.
