Description: Healthcare recruiting and medical staffing business, locating and placing medical professionals for either a substantial recruiting fee or a portion of the profit of an ongoing staffing contract. Owner/Operators take an "Agent" approach to healthcare recruiting and medical staffing by first identifying candidates interested in changing positions, and then locating employers in need of practitioners with those skills. Demand for Healthcare Recruiting and Medical Staffing is High. Healthcare worker shortages are well documented with more than one million practitioner openings today. They include vacancies of: 126,000 nurses 10,000 pharmacists 13,000 lab techs 13,000 imaging techs With 79 million aging "Baby Boomers" it will only get worse-or in the case of healthcare recruiters and medical staffing companies, better. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the so-called Baby-Boomers are just now beginning to hit retirement age. This fact will create even more demand for healthcare practitioners in key areas. The need for diagnostic imaging techs alone is expected to increase from 13,000 current openings to 75,000 vacancies by 2010.
