Recruitment strategies utilizing social media are anticipated to expand. Because the demand outweighs the supply (available workforce), employers will seek to engage and attract potential employees by more emphasis on virtual networking. Branding will be yet another strategy increasingly implemented with social media. Young professionals consider their work an extension of their identity, and with so many options available, they can be thoughtful about their job environment.
PRN staffing solutions are changing with technology as well. Short-term, short-notice PRN clinicians such as registered nurses (RNs), certified nursing assistants (CNAs), and other certified healthcare workers can be found by using a PRN staffing smartphone application.
PRN staffing apps revolutionize the way facilities can meet urgent staffing needs, by allowing facilities to access a wider net of potential clinicians than previously thought possible. Medical professionals can browse hundreds of available shifts nearby and select a PRN shift that fits into their schedule. Facilities can post and fill their shifts without making multiple phone calls to several different agencies.
