A recent study reveals that companies in the healthcare industry are turning to temporary staffing and recruitment to meet staffing needs

The number of online job ads for healthcare and nursing professionals in Germany has increased over 26% in the last two years. It achieves the largest increase in demand compared to the UK, France, the Netherlands and Belgium. This is the result of a recent Textkernel-study, for which more than 1.4 million online job advertisements were Jobfeed were recorded and analyzed without duplicates.

Who posts more job ads: Recruiters or direct employers?

The analysis shows that the majority of published jobs (56.11%) come from recruitment agencies. The share of jobs from direct employers is only 43.89%.

This indicates the great importance that staffing service providers have today for filling positions in the healthcare industry. More and more hospitals and nursing homes are relying on professional support for recruitment and staffing.

An important reason is the Cost savings: Recruitment through various media and channels is very expensive today. The long-standing shortage of skilled workers in medicine and nursing has exacerbated this situation.

For clinics and nursing homes, competent service providers represent a efficient, external reinforcement of the personnel department present. The intermediaries and temporary employment agencies know the market and are constantly looking for applicants through various channels. In addition, the customer has the advantage of being able to get to know applicants first within the framework of employee leasing before deciding to take them on. Of course, he can also hire employees introduced by the service provider directly for a fee.

The decisive advantage: The HR department can concentrate completely on internal matters and saves itself the time-consuming and tedious recruitment of barely available applicants.

However, it is important when selecting an efficient personnel service provider to pay attention to its Experience in the healthcare industry to pay attention. Franz & Wach Personalservice, for example, has been active in this industry since 2007 and places nursing staff with a large customer base throughout Germany.

Clear. Smart. Competent.
