Teams in the healthcare sector are often understaffed and carry heavy workloads, and skilled nonclinical professionals are hard to find. Managers increasingly turn to specialized recruiters who can provide contract talent to support their core teams and find skilled candidates for permanent roles. There is growing demand in the healthcare field for customer support professionals, and administrative professionals are needed for positions such as patient registration specialist and medical scheduler. Employers are also looking for revenue cycle analysts and other financial experts.
