Weekly Nugget on Global Recruitment Trends Across Industries - 2: Healthcare & Life Sciences

🏥 Healthcare & Life Sciences – Urgent Demand & Complex Compliance

📈 Trend: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global healthcare sector will face a shortage of 18 million workers by 2030. Post-pandemic, the demand for healthcare professionals—including nurses, specialists, allied health workers, and technicians—has surged. However, the hiring process remains slow due to the sector's strict regulatory, credential, and compliance requirements. Sources: WHO Report

• In the U.S. alone, healthcare job openings reached 9.6% of total employment in 2023 (U.S. BLS).
• 72% of healthcare employers report difficulty finding qualified, credentialed candidates.
• Time-to-hire in healthcare averages 49 days, compared to 36 days across other industries.

⚠️ Challenges:

• ❗ Credential & license verification (RN, MD, PT, etc.) is time-consuming and often manual
• ❗ Compliance-heavy documentation across local, national, and international hiring standards
• ❗ Slow hiring cycles lead to staff shortages and patient care delays
