Whether you’re a professional healthcare traveler or a top agency staffing recruiter, there are job market barriers you face. From a saturated healthcare market to slow speed to placement, it can be a struggle for travelers to secure an assignment that aligns with their career priorities, as well as an uphill battle for healthcare staffing agencies to sign-on and place the right travelers.
Marketplace was made to benefit both healthcare travel workers and healthcare staffing companies alike. In one convenient online platform, travelers can compare available jobs from nationwide staffing agencies and staffing companies can gain access to hundreds of fully qualified candidates.
“Our mission is to improve the lives of everyone that we touch,” said Marketplace’s CEO, Steve Koesters. “Marketplace serves that purpose by providing healthcare professionals tools, transparency, and choice, making it easier to navigate career decisions. By making the process easier for healthcare professionals, facilities are able to source candidates quicker to meet patients’ needs.”
Did you know that the healthcare industry is the country’s largest employer? In fact, by 2029, the industry is projected to grow 15 percent from 2019 and with about 2.4 million future jobs on the horizon, healthcare workers must set themselves apart from their overwhelming competition.
With a traveler profile, healthcare workers can market themselves as professionals and leverage their profile to help enhance their speed to placement. A personal profile stores all of your important information such as licenses and certifications, job preferences, and more to help streamline the application process to get you to your next assignment even faster and with less paperwork.
Once you’ve completed your Marketplace profile, you’ll unlock the power of total transparency with job comparison, travel location, pay package details, company benefits, housing options, and more. To see the fine details of a job opening, simply click on the posting to assess the important information or to apply.
You can also effortlessly apply to more than one job at a time to increase your chances of landing that one that you want. After your application has been received, a recruiter from the staffing agency will call you to learn more about you and your travel career. From there, your recruiter will work with you hand-in-hand to ensure you wind up in the placement that’s right for you.
With more job transparency and advanced search capabilities, healthcare travelers can find career opportunities that are tailored to their personal and professional interests with this one online tool. Enjoy the view from the driver’s seat of your professional healthcare career as you embark on your perfect assignment.
If you’re experienced in the industry, then you already know that the healthcare recruiting system is slower than necessary. Most recruiters scrounge through various job sites in search of the ideal healthcare traveler and with too many hoops to jump through, it can feel exhausting for agencies to find quality healthcare talent. Marketplace simplifies traditional hiring to accelerate the process for both the staffing agency and the traveler.
For healthcare agencies, the most important aspect of the hiring process is connecting people. Marketplace makes that easier on you by merging healthcare career opportunities, staffing companies, and professional travelers onto one platform. With everyone in the same room, agencies have the potential to network with healthcare workers in search of their next job quickly and easily.
