Healthcare Recruiters Recognition Day

Recruiters are a vital part of modern healthcare.

In 1991, Congress declared the first Tuesday in June each year to be National Healthcare Recruiters Recognition Day. Recruiters play an integral role in the everyday operations of businesses. Without these professionals and their efforts, many facilities would not be able to function. Favorite Staffing salutes healthcare recruiters across the country on this day and every day.
