With over 1 million healthcare positions projected to go unfilled by 2030, the question is not if we need help—but how we get it.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is evolving so rapidly, it is hard to keep up with the tools—let alone how to use them effectively. But instead of fearing this new wave, we should embrace the possibilities. AI has the potential to fill critical gaps and enhance outcomes across industries—especially in healthcare.

In healthcare, speed to market with qualified candidates is essential to maintain safe staffing ratios and ensure quality patient care. If AI can help achieve that, then yes—AI is your friend.
The Bottom Line
The future of healthcare staffing is not man or machine—it is man and machine.
