The rapid rise of technological advancements in mobility, medical fitness applications and electronic data management has revolutionised the healthcare sector. With an estimated rise of 19% in newer healthcare staff by 2024, the employment rate is at a steady increase with numerous opportunities opening up to healthcare practitioners by the day.
That's about 2.3 million jobs!
But as the industry is tilting towards a candidate-centric economy, human resource agencies have to work twice as hard to prevent their recruitment efforts from falling apart due to the lack of team building and cultural fits.
Below are a couple of daunting challenges facing Healthcare staff recruitment:
1- Exodus of the Baby boomers
The current healthcare industry is dominated by the baby boomer generation. And unfortunately, they are retiring en masse at an alarming rate. That's about 2.5 million professional doctors with years of service serving the general public!
So how is this going to impact the healthcare industry?
With a growing size of retires, they’ll require more healthcare staff to take care of them.
How should Recruitment agencies handle this issue? Healthcare agencies have attempted to regulate the exodus by offering massive sign-on bonuses and higher salary packages. But will this work in the long run?
At Airmid, we believe that not all of the baby boomer generation of healthcare professionals who retire truly do. Out of every 10 that do retire, 2 always return to heed their call of serving mankind. And its upto us to successfully engage them.
2- Retention is key
Hiring a candidate does not necessarily imply he will stick to your firm years to come. A key area of success is not just in enlisting star candidates, but retaining them. At an age when staff are willing to jump ship citing work overload, poor salary, low organizational morale and work culture, how effective are your health care staff retention strategies?
To increase retention, your management needs to strive to create values for the employees to stay. Train your staff and attempt to add more skills to their roster. Provide a great work culture experience. And where possible, encourage them with bonuses.
