AHACareerCenter.org Forges Unique Strategic Partnership with HealthcareSource

Find The Right People For The Right Jobs - Faster, Easier Than Ever Before
CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
The American Hospital Association`s (AHA) Career Center has taken a major step
forward in helping member hospitals streamline their job recruitment efforts.
AHACareerCenter.org recently named HealthcareSource® as its first Preferred
Integration Partner for applicant tracking.

The affiliation brings together two organizations committed to helping health
care employers respond to workforce challenges by identifying the right person
for the right job as quickly and cost effectively as possible.
AHACareerCenter.org is an anchor site for the National Healthcare Career Network
(NHCN), the fastest growing job board network in the health care industry,
reaching more than 180 associations and professional societies with nearly two
million members. Equally dedicated to helping health care employers fill open
positions is HealthcareSource, the leading provider of talent management
solutions for the health care industry. HealthcareSource helps more than 1,000
hospitals streamline every phase of recruitment, from posting jobs to tracking,
hiring, and onboarding applicants, through its Position Manager® product.

"By linking our technologies and expertise, we have created a seamless solution
that will help health care organizations nationwide reach more qualified
candidates for health care positions, especially jobs that are critical to
patient care or may be difficult to fill," said AHA Solutions` President and CEO
Anthony Burke.

"We`re thrilled to announce our new partnership with AHA," said Peter Segall,
CEO of HealthcareSource. "We`re dedicated to helping our clients find the
industry`s best talent, which is the first step for hospitals` ability to
provide exceptional patient care and meet their business goals. By posting a job
from Position Manager to AHACareerCenter.org as part of their recruiting
efforts, our clients can now reach the largest pool of talent in the United
States health care industry."

The integration enables HealthcareSource`s 1,000 hospital clients to seamlessly
post jobs from their Position Manager account to AHACareerCenter.org and the
NHCN, where they can find qualified candidates with the skills and expertise
needed to fill positions ranging from entry level to CEO. HealthcareSource
clients will also receive a discount on AHACareerCenter.org job posting
packages.

As part of the partnership, HealthcareSource will further enhance the
integration for use with AHACareerCenter.org and the NHCN. "This will enable our
member hospitals to spend less time posting jobs and instead focus on selecting
the best candidates for the job," said Burke.

The affiliation also provides benefits to health care job seekers, streamlining
online processes with HealthcareSource, to ensure direct access to the positions
best matching their level of experience, talent and skill set.
