<p>The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported a <a href="https://www.who.int/hrh/migration/en/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">60% increase</a> in the number of migrant doctors and nurses working in specific regions over the last decade. This growth is anticipated to continue to flourish due to the continual demand for skilled healthcare workers around the world.</p>
<p>Solutions which enable countries to be empowered by accurate, reliable resources for the professional migration of healthcare workers are crucial. Particularly as skill shortages within the industry can have a devastating effect on patients, co-workers and communities.</p>
<h2>What’s at stake when it comes to hiring within the healthcare sector?</h2>
<p>Mitigating risks within healthcare workforces is paramount and more so than almost any other sector. The incorrect hiring procedures and substandard employee verifications can result in reputational damage, legal proceedings and in some cases loss of life.</p>
<p>When the stakes are so high, there cannot be a compromise when it comes to authenticating each employee’s qualifications and experience ahead of hiring.</p>
<h2>Hiring Challenges Within the Healthcare Sector</h2>
<p>The landscape within the healthcare sector often reports a crisis when it comes to skills shortages. However, due to the cataclysmic nature of this particular industry, hiring practices are understandably regulated by strict and often lengthy processes.</p>
<p>Particularly when it comes to hiring candidates from overseas, background checks are part and parcel of the process as it’s imperative that qualifications and work experience are thoroughly vetted and verified.</p>
<p>However, especially when it comes to highly qualified healthcare workers, competition is fierce. Using modern, robust technology in background screening processes helps to ensure a swift turnaround so you don’t miss out on the best talent in the field.</p>
<p>Healthcare professionals are understandably required to verify and produce a number of documents upon applying for a new role: licences, good standing certificates, qualifications, employment history…the list goes on. The continual verification of new staff and incoming verification requests for previous employees puts a huge administrative burden on healthcare HR departments.</p>
