Phoenix Healthcare Needs Workers
Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country, and healthcare facilities are expanding to match. Hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and home health agencies all compete for the same pool of certified caregivers. Speed matters—qualified CNAs and nurses often accept offers within days.
Arizona faces a projected shortage of 11,000 nurses by 2030. Phoenix facilities that wait to screen candidates lose them to competitors who move faster.
Healthcare workers search for jobs between shifts—early morning, late night, or on their days off. Traditional 9-5 recruiting misses the window when candidates are actually available.
