7 Benefits of hiring a Recruitment Agency

7 Benefits of Hiring a Recruitment Agency | Zonda

In Australia, we continue to face a significant shortage of qualified nurses, posing challenges to the healthcare system and patient care. Several factors contribute to this ongoing shortage, exacerbating an issue that has been prevalent in the country for several years.

This happens due to a few main factors, and despite the main reasons like insufficient nursing graduates, an ageing population, workforce migration, workforce burnout and attrition, rural and remote areas of Australia that can often experience the most qualified nurse shortage, we know the industry has an increased demand. 

To deal with that, healthcare facilities and hospitals have options to create a recruitment process internally, hire a recruiter, or choose a recruitment agency.

Whether in house or with an agency, finding qualified professionals that have the right fit for the role can be an art, not to say a challenge for some institutions.  

Not only because this industry has unique challenges, but finding professionals and retaining them is not an easy task; it needs a lot of understanding about specificities not only the job’s needs but also about the professionals’ profile.

The turnover of qualified professionals working in hospitals and aged care facilities can really impact our community.

What are the Cons of having an internal recruitment department in your company?

Understanding this industry so well, and being in contact with many clients throughout these years, we know that opting for an internal recruitment process can be very limited, especially in Australia’s reality, where we have a shortage of the workforce, and all the qualified professionals are looking for better jobs and challenges for their career paths.
