How healthcare benefits from an AI-powered future

The healthcare industry is growing at a remarkable rate. But with a projected shortage of 100,000 critical workers by 2028, industry leaders and recruiters are under pressure to find fast, effective solutions. That’s where AI comes in: delivering higher satisfaction rates, lower time to fill and more.

In an article for SmartRecruiters, Cassie Pike, Executive Vice President – Client Partnerships, highlights the strategic shifts transforming talent acquisition in healthcare – and how AI is leading the way.

From the article:

“AI is already redefining how work is getting done. Recruiters are doing less busy work and being recruitment consultants to the business, generating data for you so you can spend time cultivating relationships. It’s just going to elevate their jobs,” said Cassie Pike, Executive Vice President – Client Partnerships.

Pike said that some companies insist that 12- or even 16-hour shifts are necessary. She has seen other companies figure out how to avoid them, and even provide four-hour shifts to people who want them. This has greatly improved employees’ experiences and their interest in referring others to the job.

Pike said that Cielo is using AI to draft personalized communications to healthcare prospects. This saves time and produces higher response rates, as people feel like they’re not being spammed. Cielo is also looking into the use of AI to provide managers with weekly updates on open jobs, rather than relying on recruiters to share the latest news on their hiring funnel, which can be time-consuming for recruiters handling dozens of requisitions.
