MedHQ, a Chicago-based provider of technology-enabled expert services, has launched Talent Portal, a centralized platform to hire difficult-to-find talent, specifically within ambulatory surgery centers.
The Talent Portal is designed to connect health care businesses with recruiting specialists nationwide to recruit, schedule, and manage clinical and non-clinical staff including contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire. Through the platform”™s desktop application, users can schedule interviews and manage candidates, and all employee timecards are kept in a centralized hub to easily manage payroll. Users receive real-time data to make informed hiring decisions, allowing control of staffing via one centralized platform.
“The average time-to-fill for health care positions is 49 days, which is longer than the average for all other industries,” said Renee Becker, executive vice president of staffing and recruitment for Becker Health, a division of MedHQ. “Our new Talent Portal helps solve the staffing challenges health care leaders are facing while providing the data and reporting they need to plan, control costs, and run their ASC, clinic, or hospital department efficiently.”
“The demand for health care professionals is expected to grow, with roughly 2.4 million new jobs being added before 2029,” added MedHQ CEO Tom Jacobs. “Traditional methods of recruiting and hiring are falling short. Technology will play a critical role in helping health care leaders find the talent they need and make data-driven decisions, but client service will continue to be part of our solution at MedHQ.”
