"Recruitment process outsourcing firms act as an organization's internalrecruitment arm for sourcing of some or all of the organization's permanentpositions," explained Ralph Henderson, AMN Healthcare's President of NurseStaffing and Recruitment Process Outsourcing.

Why RPO?
Healthcare organizations face existing and growing shortages of clinicalstaff needed to ensure quality patient care. Today, the nation is short about120,000 nurses, and by 2020 nurse and physician shortages are expected to growto 285,000 and 200,000, respectively. Because these positions generaterevenues for the hospitals and impact quality of care, the shortages havecreated competition among hospitals for the best talent.
"Although the challenges facing healthcare organizations are multifaceted,inadequate recruitment and talent shortages are arguably some of the mostserious and far-reaching," Henderson said. "Our experience in hiring tens ofthousands of clinical professionals each year will provide a great platformfor this new service offering," he added.
