What types of roles do you cover in healthcare?

Doctors, nurses, physicians, aides, administrators and technicians to name a few. We also support other business units within healthcare such as commercial, HR, finance and so on.

Can RPO help me to elevate healthcare talent acquisition and improve patient outcomes at my organization?

Yes! RPO partnerships go beyond transactional hiring and provide strategic insights backed by talent intelligence data to ensure healthcare providers can attract, hire and retain the talent needed to meet their goals and ensure patient care isn't compromised.

Why is the healthcare industry affected so much by skills shortages?

The healthcare industry has grown at a rapid pace. Our aging population means there's more demand for healthcare services and many workers in the industry are due to retire, which is exacerbating the skills shortages that the industry has long faced. Demand for healthcare candidates, especially in nursing, far outstrips supply. There simply aren’t enough candidates to fill open roles in an already limited talent pool. And this is why many healthcare organizations have partnered with talent solution providers as they have the expertise, resources and technology to deliver robust talent strategies.

What if we need to expand our healthcare recruitment team at short notice?

We know healthcare recruitment needs can vary depending on a range of factors, including seasonality. For example, the winter months are typically busier for many healthcare providers. We can provide flexible healthcare recruitment support that can be scaled up or down based on your individual needs, allowing you to quickly adjust your recruitment efforts as needed.

The heart of healthcare talent acquisition is people-driven

Healthcare organizations are balancing persistent talent shortages, rising labor costs and changing patient demand, all while maintaining continuity and quality of care. When internal talent acquisition teams are already stretched, increasing hiring demand can quickly expose gaps in capacity.

Our approach combines RPO for scalable healthcare recruitment outsourcing, contingent solutions for flexible workforce needs, executive search for senior leadership appointments, and talent advisory, intelligence and technology services to help you plan ahead. Together, they help you build a permanent workforce and reduce reliance on agency staffing.

We help you:

Access hard-to-find talent across clinical, allied health, operational and leadership roles.
Reduce agency dependency and recruitment costs by strengthening direct sourcing and permanent talent pipelines.
Scale recruitment capacity around changing patient demand, service-line growth and facility expansion.
Make smarter workforce decisions with insight into talent availability, competition and labor-market conditions.
