In a recent article citing the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, Salary.com listed Registered Nurse as the #1 job on their “8 Hottest Jobs of 2014.” The list, which ranked jobs based on their potential for growth over the next year and beyond, also featured School Psychologists and Mental Health Technicians amongst those with the most promising futures.

It should come as no surprise that three of the eight top jobs and medical recruiting opportunities fall into the healthcare sector, especially positions in nursing. “The job market for Registered Nurses is expected to grow 26% by 2020, which is faster than the average for all  other markets,” says Kelly Mattice, Vice President of The Execu|Search Group’s Health Services division. This is due to a few major factors: the aging baby-boomers who are now requiring more health services,  the emphasis on wellness and preventive care, and new technological advancements.  Registered Nurses will not only benefit from the stability of their industry, but have the opportunity to branch into new and exciting areas of medicine.”

With these changes taking place, especially those put into place by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), health services recruiting is going to be in high demand—something we projected earlier this year particularly relating to Case Managers.
