The American Society of Anesthesiologists has networked its job board with other professional healthcare societies in a full-scale effort to address the national crisis in healthcare staffing.
The prestigious 100-year-old medical association has more than 43,000 members. By joining the National Healthcare Career Network, ASA’s job board will include relevant candidate resumes and job opportunities from all associations in the Network, making it easier for healthcare industry recruiters to find qualified candidates to fill the hundreds of thousands of healthcare job openings in the nation.
“Connecting our job board with other leading healthcare associations via the National Healthcare Career Network not only helps healthcare recruiters find talented professionals faster – it simply makes sense,” said John Thorner, ASA executive vice president. “Central to our mission to provide educational, research and scientific resources to our members, we also want to continuously provide innovative member benefits. Offering enhanced career advancement is one of those benefits.”
The Network includes leading healthcare associations such as founding partner American Hospital Association, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Kidney Foundation. Several other national, specialty and regional associations also joined this summer, including the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging who joined recently as a founding partner of the initiative.
“These associations are joining forces, taking necessary steps to address the national crisis in healthcare staffing,” said ASAE & The Center’s President and CEO John H. Graham IV, CAE.
“ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership supports the National Healthcare Career Network because we recognize how association partnerships can promote the idea we all know to be true – that the best quality job candidates in the healthcare industry will belong to relevant professional associations,” Graham said.
The NHCN is private-labeled and powered by managing partner, Boxwood. As managing partner, Boxwood orchestrates the initiative and has worked to promote it as the preferred resource for recruiters and employers to find quality health care talent.
Boxwood President John Bell said the goal of the Network was to make it easy for associations to work together to expand the reach of their job boards. Boxwood has also created three other career networks: Engineering and Science Career Network, Diversity Talent Network and Marketing Career Network.
“ASA’s participation in the National Healthcare Career Network leads the way for other healthcare associations to join forces,” Bell said. “Associations inside the networks can enhance member benefits, help recruiters find more job candidates and increase non-dues revenue.”
