Healthcare recruiting

Recruitment in health care is an ever changing process and happens in many different forms and by many different means. There is no industry that is more primitive in recruiting than healthcare. This is not to say that all healthcare organizations are awful at recruiting; those who have mastered 21st century recruiting approaches achieve phenomenal success. The most two commonly known reasons why recruiting is such a weak point in health care are that too many healthcare organizations are putting doctors in management roles, and nurses and other healthcare professionals in the recruiting and HR positions. Health care organizations put doctors into management roles because they have more education under their belt and have the credentials to carry out the organizations charter. Unfortunately doctors aren’t trained in management, so they aren’t equipped with the proper management tools to handle issues like unexcited employees and incentives. Nurses being assigned positions in the HR department and as recruiters are also an issue because these professionals aren’t properly educated or trained in these specific areas of the health care organization. The solution for both issues would be to hiring employees who specifically specialize in the HR department and recruiting. This is a more costly option for the organization at first but eventually will save a lot of money in the end when the turnover rate is down
