From the leader in providing news and information to the HTM community, TechNation is excited to provide a new industry career center – HTMjobs.com. The website is a simple, streamlined and effective way to connect qualified candidates with open jobs and help them find their next opportunity.
MD Publishing President John Krieg and HTMjobs.com Recruitment Specialist Kristen Register, along with some users of the site, provided TechNation several insights into this website through a question-and-answer session.
Q: What was the inspiration for HTMjobs.com?
Krieg: As we’ve done for over 20 years, MD Publishing is always looking for new opportunities to expand our product line and help the HTM industry.
HTMjobs.com is the latest launch to satisfy a need for the industry. Simply put, when you have more jobs than people to fill them, that creates an opportunity. What the industry was lacking is a centralized hub for this demand, and that’s where HTMjobs.com comes into play. We’re trying to simplify the process so that it’s easy to match career opportunities with qualified candidates in a highly targeted niche audience. In line with our webinars, local HTM mixers and expanded digital offerings, this is just another way we’re trying to support the HTM industry.
Q: What is the main focus of HTM Jobs?
Register: HTMjobs.com is a highly targeted career center that connects a talent network with employers and hiring managers from the leading health care systems and companies. Candidates can create a custom profile and register at no cost. The website matches them with opportunities specific to each users’ needs. Essentially, it’s a place for HTM professionals to grow at any point in their career.
Q: What are all of the services the website provides?
Register: Registered users can upload their resume, qualifications, desired salary and location when signing up for their membership. Candidates can also subscribe to email newsletters to keep them up-to-date and stay ahead on new job postings. Additionally, there is a career center with articles that provide valuable tips, such as “How Honest Should You Be in an Exit Interview?”
Q: How does HTM Jobs stand out among its competitors?
Register: As far as competitors are concerned, we are the first in what we do. Of course there are job websites, such as Indeed and Glassdoor, but they don’t provide the niche services we do. Additionally, our job postings stay up for 45 days, compared to the average 30 days. Qualified candidates have a 50% better chance of finding the right position for them, and employers have that same better chance to fill their positions.
Q: What are some specific goals you want this website to achieve in the near future?
Krieg: We’ve already hit 500 talent network registrations in October and should be close to 1,000 by the end of the year. Since its launching, the website has already exceeded our expectations and goals. HTMjobs.com will be heavily promoted within the existing TechNation and MD Expo platforms to bolster and enhance the exposure.
