The typical process of looking for a new job as a healthcare professional can be draining. You spend so much time filling out multiple applications on different websites, sifting through job descriptions to find the information you need, and then are often left having to guess the pay range.
You may spend hours completing lengthy applications, uploading documents and taking personality or skills tests before you’re even able to speak to someone about the position and ask questions. You might not hear back on your applications for days, weeks or even months.
When you finally get to the step in the application process where you speak to a recruiter, you can ask specific questions you have about the job. However, questions about pay range, workplace culture, hours and patient population may be met with vague answers, leaving you unsure whether you really want the job.
As you move through the hiring process, sometimes after multiple interviews, you may finally receive a job offer only to learn it pays significantly less than what you were expecting. You may have wasted more than a month of your time just to start the process all over again.
If this sounds like something you’ve experienced when searching for healthcare jobs, avoid the frustration by using a healthcare jobs marketplace instead. Read on to learn how a talent marketplace can streamline the job search process and enable you to take control of your career as a healthcare professional.
What is an Employment Marketplace?
An employment marketplace, or talent marketplace, is a centralized online location for employees to shop for jobs. It’s a space that hosts numerous available opportunities, all in one place, so the job seeker doesn’t need to visit multiple websites to browse and apply for jobs.
A talent marketplace makes it easier for employers and employees to connect and gives the job seeker more control over their job search experience. A job marketplace contains multiple job postings from numerous companies, saving you valuable time and minimizing your efforts.
What are the Benefits of Using a Healthcare Jobs Marketplace?
View jobs from multiple employers and facilities in one place
Instead of submitting multiple job applications directly on employer’s websites, you can browse and apply to various jobs at once using an online talent marketplace. Cut down your job search and application time drastically by browsing a centralized jobs page where you’ll find 1,000s of travel, permanent and per diem healthcare jobs in your desired locations and specialties.
Apply detailed search filters to save you time
While job searching, you may not want to see every available job in your location and specialty. Ideally, you only want to be shown jobs with the salary, hours and specialties that interest you.
Use a job search tool that features precise filters you can apply during your job search, narrowing your options and saving you even more time. Filter your job search by pay, location, shift, benefits, work settings and more.
Broaden your career options by browsing many specialties at once
When you’re ready for a job change but aren’t sure what you want to do next, a healthcare jobs marketplace shows you lots of job options among various specialties without the pressure of filling out a formal application. Browse jobs in different healthcare specialties all on one website, to inspire new career ideas and save you time.
