Healthcare Hiring Has Never Been Harder

Recent industry research shows that staffing challenges are not just persistent — they’re escalating.

THE SOURCING PROBLEM

The Hidden Cost: Unqualified Candidates

Critical roles such as RNs, CNAs, MAs, phlebotomists, dental hygienists, behavioral health specialists, and allied health professionals remain some of the hardest-to-fill positions in the U.S. Rising competition, burnout-driven attrition, and aggressive hiring incentives from large healthcare systems have significantly reduced candidate availability.

The Impact on Recruiting Teams

To keep pipelines alive, healthcare providers are spending more than ever on job boards, yet still facing low apply-to-hire ratios and unpredictable applicant flow. In fact, well over half the job-ad spend produces no-hire applicants. And for roles with limited supply, even premium ads struggle to drive meaningful traffic.

The result?

  • Recruiters chasing candidates who don’t respond
  • Ad budgets rising with no guaranteed ROI.
  • Hiring managers frustrated by empty pipelines.
  • Vacancies that risk patient care and operational stability.
