The healthcare staffing market is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 7% by 2030. This growth is driven by an aging population, a shortage of skilled healthcare professionals, and an increasing reliance on staffing agencies to fill critical workforce gaps.
Notably, total contract labor expenditures in hospitals increased more than 250% between 2019 and 2022, with the largest share directed toward nursing, one of the most chronically understaffed departments.
Staffing gaps in a critical field like oncology can disrupt patient care and diminish outcomes. Partnering with a staffing firm that understands the intricacies of oncology can be transformative for your facility. Unlike general staffing agencies, a specialized oncology staffing firm focuses exclusively on matching premier talent with the unique needs of cancer care.
Let’s explore how working with a niche oncology staffing partner is essential to your facility’s success.
1. Specialized Expertise to Meet Complex Oncology Needs
Oncology isn’t just another branch of healthcare—it’s a field with specialized certifications, patient care protocols, and continually evolving treatments. A specialized oncology staffing firm ensures facilities match candidates with the necessary skills and certifications. Whether you need an experienced oncology nurse to deliver compassionate patient care or a medical oncologist versed in the latest treatment advancements, an oncology staffing firm can help you find the right fit.
2. Unlock a Rich Talent Network
General staffing agencies often lack the specialized networks required to source top talent. An oncology staffing firm like Cancer CarePoint has dedicated years to cultivating relationships with medical and radiation oncology physicians across all specialties.
A specialized firm has access to a deep, targeted talent pool, ensuring it connects facilities with highly qualified candidates who are strongly committed to patient care. Whether looking to fill locum tenens or long-term positions, a specialized firm provides fast access to the right professionals.
3. Personalized Service
Strong relationships and personalized service are the cornerstones of successful staffing partnerships. Large, general agencies often prioritize volume over personalization, leaving healthcare facilities feeling like just another number. Cancer CarePoint offers a boutique service model, assigning a dedicated point of contact to your facility.
This single point of contact takes the time to understand your distinct challenges, culture, and goals. By tailoring their approach, they ensure your facility doesn’t just find staff but builds a cohesive team that delivers long-term value.
4. Save Time and Reduce Hiring Stress
The staffing process is challenging even in the best circumstances. Now, with the healthcare industry facing its most significant physician shortage in history, the stakes are higher than ever.
A specialized staffing firm can alleviate this burden by managing the entire recruitment process, including sourcing, screening, and ensuring compliance, as well as assisting with credentialing and onboarding processes. Streamlining these tasks significantly reduces the time it takes to fill critical roles. This efficiency allows you to focus on what matters most—delivering exceptional patient care—without the constant stress of addressing staffing gaps.
