Nursing Agency or Medical Recruiting Firm
by MrRobert
The healthcare industry is experiencing unprecedented shortages due to the baby-boomer generation reaching retirement age. Individuals are leaving the workforce at record pace, leaving hospitals nationwide short of staff. At the same time, retirees require three times the healthcare services. As a result, healthcare recruiting services are in high demand.
Placement of a nurse or imaging tech can generate $12,000 to $18,000 in recruiting fees, while a pharmacist or physician can bring in $20,000 to $30,000. These are not numbers we’ve created, but well known figures recognized across the industry.
