NEW YORK, July 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DHI Group, Inc.
(formerly known as Dice Holdings, Inc.) (NYSE: DHX) (the
"Company"), a leading provider of specialized websites and services
for professional communities, today announced that it has expanded
the market opportunity in its healthcare service, Health eCareers,
through the full commercial launch of its latest product, SHIFT,
which addresses the burgeoning need for temporary help in the
healthcare industry.
SHIFT enables employers to quickly find and hire experienced
professionals for locum tenens, travel nursing, per diem and other
temporary positions. For candidates seeking temporary shift-based
work, SHIFT is a mobile tool that delivers instant text message
notifications with temporary opportunities based on their
preferences. The full commercial version of SHIFT was
released with more than 4,000 opportunities and 3,000 registered
professionals.
SHIFT for Healthcare Professionals
SHIFT is a first-of-its-kind mobile tool dedicated exclusively to
helping healthcare professionals, particularly those seeking
flexibility in their work schedules, instantly locate shift work
that fits their defined needs and lifestyle. Job seekers can
simply create a profile that specifies their work assignment
preferences, including specialty, shifts, desired pay rate,
location and timeframe. Their SHIFT profile can also be
augmented with resumes, licensure qualifications, certifications
and other materials. Real-time matching technology
immediately notifies them by text message whenever assignments
arise that fit their preferences, ensuring registered job seekers
are among the first to see new opportunities. They can apply
from their mobile device for the shifts they want with just one
click.
SHIFT for Healthcare Employers
SHIFT instantly connects employers to healthcare professionals
looking for temporary assignments. They can post locum
tenens, per diem, travel nursing and contractor positions risk-free
using SHIFT's pay-per-apply model. SHIFT's technology
instantly matches and notifies qualified healthcare professionals
who meet a given position's requirements and immediately begins
accumulating relevant applications. Using a simple dashboard,
employers can review candidates' profiles, check the performance of
their job listings and adjust their budget spend accordingly.
"Health eCareers continues to demonstrate its strong value
proposition to healthcare customers and professionals by improving
and expanding the suite of products and services that it offers,"
said Michael Durney, DHI's President
and CEO. "The launch of the commercial version of SHIFT is
particularly exciting, as it uniquely addresses the very real
challenges arising from the shortage of talent in the marketplace.
As we continue to accelerate innovation and introduce new
products and services across all of our brands, SHIFT demonstrates
the progress we are making in expanding our addressable
market."
"We are very excited about the launch of SHIFT, which received
overwhelmingly positive feedback during our pilot and is an
important growth opportunity for us," added Bryan Bassett, Managing Director of Health
eCareers. "While the demand for temporary healthcare professionals
continues to rise, the availability of quality resources has been
scarce, and healthcare facilities are definitely feeling the pinch
of employee shortages and churn. Healthcare professionals are
increasingly embracing the flexibility and freedom of short-term
work, and SHIFT makes it faster and easier than ever for these
types of employers and professionals to find each other."
With the launch of SHIFT, Health eCareers has extended its brand
proposition and the value it provides to the broader healthcare
community through a digital career resource dedicated entirely to
temporary healthcare employment.
