What Matters to RPO
" [Job seekers want] excitement-will this be a job or
an experience? " Lori Hock, CEO Americas, Hudson says.
" They want opportunities for learning, growth, cultural
fit, and alignment to the company's values. "
Hock also emphasizes the importance of modern
workplace considerations, such as a healthy work-life
balance, to candidates. If a company makes an employerbrand
promise, they must deliver; otherwise it won't
take long for a new employee to realize they've been
tricked into coming on board. " Unfortunately, these
are the stories they share with their friends and peers in
the market as well, " Hock adds. This category of social
sharing-made more accessible by employer review
sites such as Glassdoor-has profoundly changed the
way employers think about and utilize their brands.
After all, the accessibility of review sites means that one
employee's negative feedback has the potential to deter
hundreds of candidates from applying.

Not

million
job openings in the healthcare industry: the
largest number recorded since the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) started surveying the sector in 2006.
The war for talent in the industry stems from several
factors, including a fast-aging population that uses the
healthcare system more frequently, the retirement of
specialized medical professionals, and a growing demand
for nurses outside the healthcare sector from businesses
that offer highly competitive compensation and benefit
packages. The Affordable Care Act-whatever its fate-
and the recovery of the U.S. economy have also expanded
public access to healthcare.
Doctors and nurses are not the only professionals in
short supply. Hospitals are also struggling to attract
non-clinical employees such as data scientists/analysts,
lab technicians, respiratory therapists, technology
imaging personnel, and pharmacists, given that there are
greener pastures outside of hospital work. But clinical
professionals such as specialized nurses are the toughest
hires for many healthcare institutions.
In Florida, for instance, the nursing shortage has reached
epic proportions. The Florida Center for Nursing tallied
more than 12,400 vacant nursing positions across the
state last year-up more than 30 percent from the
number in 2013. " There's been a mass exodus of nurses
here leaving for other opportunities elsewhere, " says
Mark Marsh, president of Orlando Health Central, which
serves 1.8 million central Florida residents.
