In 2023, everyone in the healthcare industry—physicians, nurses, recruiters, support personnel, etc.—must be adaptable in the face of change.
Numerous factors continue to shake up the industry:
- New healthcare technologies—such as electronic health records (EHR), telemedicine, AI & robotics—require new expertise from healthcare professionals
- Burnout among healthcare professionals leads to high turnover, and greater demand for work-life balance
- Changing healthcare laws and regulations impact recruitment practices and post challenges for recruiters
As healthcare professionals face an unstable landscape, one place where they can gain that stability is from their recruiters. Great healthcare recruiters can offer connections to top placements, career advice and support, aid in navigating legal and licensing processes, and the intangible feeling that there’s always someone in your corner.
For healthcare staffing firms, to be recognized by the healthcare professionals they serve is a high distinction, and the biggest indicator that they’re poised for success in 2023 and beyond.
The following healthcare staffing firms have distinguished themselves from the competition in the first half of 2023. Their top ratings demonstrate great success in the following areas:
- Capturing real-time feedback from candidates, clients, and placed talent
- Automating instant action on feedback
- Measuring & improving organizational performance

I’ve had no issues searching for contracts and receiving job offers within a day. Josh has been a wonderful recruiter and seems like he’s in it to help you individually and not there to help his commission rate unlike most recruiters. The rates of all my contracts have been great and if you’re unsatisfied within reason he will negotiate. He doesn’t bombard you with annoying texts wishing you a happy Monday every week and he’s a straight to the point kind of guy. If you’re in need of a great recruiter look no further.”
