To help find potential employees in this very competitive field, employers can use healthcare job posting sites for a targeted approach. We've compiled a list of the best job posting sites for hiring healthcare professionals in the U.K.

Things to Consider When Evaluating Healthcare Job Boards:

  1. A healthcare job board that offers more value, such as resources for medical professionals, industry news, and useful tips for employers and employees on top of job searching and job listing is one worth exploring.
  2. If you're looking for a specialized role, list your position on a healthcare job board that specializes in a particular medical sub-field.
  3. Study each job board's pricing model. Some advertise their pricing per month or per job post. If you hire often, a job board that offers multiple job postings for a monthly fee may ultimately be more affordable than a job board that charges per job post.

Are there any suggestions on how I can post my healthcare job ads effectively?

When you're posting jobs in very competitive hiring markets, you've got to think of your potential applicants as customers that you're advertising to. Focus on what makes your job and your workplace the one they'll want to work for. Minimize requirements and qualifications down to the ones that are actually essential.

Where can I hire healthcare workers offline?

If online hiring isn't working, you might try putting the word out with your current employees, letting them know that you're hiring, and see if they can use their networks to refer employees. You might also try local universities and see if they have an alumni network you can advertise your jobs to.

How can I write an effective healthcare job post?

The key to all job posts, and this is even more important with very competitive hiring markets, is to focus on writing the post from the perspective of the applicant. Why should they work for you? What makes this job better than others? For more advice on this, see Betterteam's job posting template.
