The medical staffing industry is on a continual growth, with projected yearly double-digit growth being commonplace.  Hospitals and medical facilities find it cost effective and convenient to work with a medical staffing agency to fill weekend shifts, short term vacancies, and the fill the overall demand for medical staff.  Many hospitals and medical centers actually prefer to work with medical staffing agencies because they get to test drive a medical professional and they minimize the risk associated with the matching process within the permanent positions.

Working In Registries

Today’s trend to work for medical staffing agencies is on upward surge.  The stigma once associated with working for a medical staffing agency no longer exists.  Today working for a medical staffing agency is preferred over full time positions within a hospital or medical center.  Both experienced and un-experienced workers benefit working for medical staffing agencies.  Medical staffing service can be ideal for new grads, transitioning between careers, downsized and needing work, full time parents needing part time work  or you simply need extra money for the holidays.

Retired medical workers can benefit from working for a medical staffing agency as well.  They have the experience but are only interested in part time work.  Many young, college graduates eager to travel and get paid for it can benefit working for a medical staffing agency that provides travel services.

The Barriers To Entry Are Small. 

You can effectively run a medical staffing agency with a phone and fax.  Staying within a specific geographic area will allow you to grow and compete with larger companies with larger overheads.  You can function with a smaller staff of medical staffing personnel and clients.

The medical staffing industry allows growth by generally tapping into the different professions.  Each profession with the medical staffing industry can by itself generate annual income to potentially increase your company’s revenue to millions of dollars per year.  The growth of a medical staffing agency is limitless.  You can also decide to be a one person operation making over $100,000 a year and working half the time you would normally be working in a hospital.

My First Experience In Staffing

I can remember when I first started in this industry back in 1999 working as a full time xray technologist for a local staffing agency: I was working full time and my sole income came from the agency.  I had full benefits, I had a 401K and vacation pay that I took to travel with my family.  I was working full time and had a nice income working exclusively with a staffing agency.  I enjoyed my time working as a “Registry”worker: That is what we call the staffing agencies “Registry”.  

The point I am trying to make above is the staffing industry has been around for a very long time, it has evolved and grown since my time working in the industry back in 1999. But, the one thing that has not changed is the need for hospitals use of “Registry” workers.  Hospitals need staffing agencies and they need people to fill those positions.  

You can start your staffing agency as an individual or you can start your staffing agency as a corporation.  You can grow locally or you can grow nationally, that is entirely up to you as an individual.  The premise here is the opportunity for you to have your own staffing business is yours if you really want to be part of this industry.  Besides, the income you generate is really nice as well!
