Demand for healthcare is accelerating worldwide

Due to the unprecedented global pandemic COVID-19, burnout, baby boomers aging, longer life expectancy and better management of chronic disease, new and vacant “higher demand” healthcare jobs are growing at 5.14% CAGR from 1.3M to 2.1M positions by 2026. (6.6% vacancy rate annually).

Healthcare recruitment is extremely difficult due to:

  • Lack of qualified candidates
  • New graduates finding jobs immediately
  • Retiring talent
  • Longer time to hire
  • Poor employer branding
  • Hiring for rural areas
  • Diversity issues
  • Cost
  • Burnout
  • Poor working conditions

Impact on the healthcare system:

  • Patients struggle to access care.
  • The average wait time to see a family doctor in person is 7 days in Canada and 20 days in the US.
  • 68% of Canadians skip seeing a doctor due to long wait times and other barriers.

The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is upon us in Canada, USA and other parts globally, placing a great strain on frontline healthcare workers.

Burnout is a huge problem experienced by healthcare workers in the healthcare system across Canada, United States & globally especially now during the pandemic. Therefore recruiting healthcare workers such as nurses, doctors, healthcare aides etc is a priority for many healthcare organizations, hospitals, long term care facilities and clinics.
