BOSTON, MA,(PRWEB) September 3, 2003 - Massachusetts Technology Corporation
(MTC), a leading provider of career and talent resources in biopharmaceuticals
and healthcare, today announced their hireCentral network of healthcare career
& talent hubs (which includes hireBio, hireRx, hireMedical and hireNursing),
have reached several key combined milestones – 60,000 candidate profiles and 250
customers.
According to Richard Kneece, CEO of MTC, hireMedical,
hireNursing, hireRx and hireBio address growing needs faced by healthcare,
pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms. “With significant shortages of nurses,
allied health workers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology professionals, it’s
becoming increasingly difficult to find the right person, in the right location
at the right time. We’ve built solid industry-focused communities for these
professionals and can help organizations of all sizes meet their talent needs in
both healthcare and life sciences.”
The American Hospital Association
estimates that in the nation’s hospitals, 126,000 registered nurse (RN)
positions (11 percent of the total) are vacant. In addition, the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics estimates that total employment in the pharmaceutical industry
will increase by 23 percent through 2005 and that growth in healthcare positions
will surpass 25% through 2006.
With customers such as Amgen, GE Medical,
Biogen, Florida Hospital, Cedars-Sinai and Pfizer, the hireCentral healthcare
career and talent hubs have become the premier destinations for job seekers in
life sciences and healthcare. The network reaches over 250,000 unique visitors
each month. Features include job searching, professional discussion forums,
specialized career focus areas, and career development tools such as education
and licensing information.
MTC’s long-term plans include more than just
helping healthcare and life science firms find people. Kneece explains, “We’ll
be launching new and innovative advertising programs to attract life science,
allied health workers and nurses, and building e-learning and career tools for
professionals in the industries we serve. We’ll continue to be the leading
destination for healthcare and life science firms to find specialized talent,
and for individuals to make their ongoing career decisions.”
