In today’s day and age, unemployment is everywhere. In the United States alone, approximately 21 million people currently find themselves out of work involuntarily.

Unfortunately, all around the world, the trend tends to follow suit. And though not everyone who’s currently out of work is interested in the recent Healthcare IT, a sizable portion very much is.

So, as a healthcare professional, how can you best take advantage of the favorable environment in which your industry of choice currently finds itself? What can you do to land the finest IT talent the health sector has to offer?

No worries—over the years, having firmly established ourselves as an authority on a number of recruitment fronts, we’ve equipped ourselves with three tried-and-true techniques to give you an advantage over the competition:

1) Communication, Communication, Communication
Did we mention communication? You get the idea—as a recruiter, making sure both you and an IT candidate are on the same page is of the utmost importance.

Look at things this way—if you’re unable to continually keep an IT prospect in the loop as to where they stand, they’ll likely take their in-demand talents elsewhere.

At all times, be open, honest and upfront about where an IT recruit stands throughout the application, screening, interview and hiring process. The better you communicate, the more likely you’ll be to land a truly game-changing IT talent.
