Hiring Methodology
A usual trend in the healthcare industry was considered to be through personal references and through newspapers, but surprisingly the demand for right personnel has forced the healthcare industry to bank on electronic media like jobsites and emails.
The highest attrition is for Nurse and Duty doctors who are also high in demand. The finding of the report is startling and reveals the correlation between the hiring and attrition rate in organizations.
With the scarcity of healthcare personnel, even hospitals are finding it difficult to hire fresh candidates.
Unlike other Industries, there is no specific hiring period and almost all the healthcare organizations hire round the year.
Keeping these trends in mind and going further will maximize your potential towards the healthcare niche.
