Health Care Jobs Activity Surging on Social Media

HealthLeaders Media (MA) (04/13/12) Margaret Dick
Tocknell

A recent survey from AMN Healthcare indicates that people who
work in the health care sector have increased their use of social
media to look for and apply for new jobs. Until fairly recently,
personal networking and informal get-togethers might have been
the preferred way to learn about potential job openings. However,
social media makes “the cocktail party very large and very
private,” AMN president of health care staffing Ralph
Henderson told HealthLeaders Media. He notes that social media is
an excellent way for the health care industry to reach out to the
passive job seeker who is content in his or her job but would
change jobs if the right one came along. “The tools and
opportunities available through LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter
are very different now from just a few years ago,” he
notes.
