Pharmacy Choice Celebrates First Anniversary with the Largest Online Pharmacy Job Board
DENVER - The pharmacy industry is in the midst of an employment crisis, and Denver based Pharmacy Choice, Inc. (http://www.PharmacyChoice.com) offers the most comprehensive solution through its online career center (http://www.RxCareerCenter.com). "I believe RxCareerCenter.com has quickly become the leading electronic source for pharmacy jobs", states Dave Williams, Safeway's pharmacy recruiting manager. "I receive weekly inquiries on my job postings and [RxCareerCenter.com] is becoming a significant source of staffing."
RxCareerCenter.com was developed specifically as an online job board for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. The Web site has quickly gained industry recognition, and in one short year has become the largest online career center for the pharmacy industry. With such incredible growth in the first year, the web site has naturally attracted a more diverse group of employers and candidates within the entire pharmaceutical industry. "More and more companies are realizing that our pool of candidates has the diversity to fill not only pharmacy positions, but pharmaceutical sales, drug development and manufacturing positions as well", says Steve Croke, President of Pharmacy Choice, Inc.
RxCareerCenter.com features a job board, where nearly one-third of the nation's retail and hospital pharmacies advertise their vacancies, and a resume bank with information on thousands of candidates who are looking for pharmacy and pharmaceutical employment. Candidates can post their resume, browse the job board and communicate confidentially with employers for free. Employers can use the system to post jobs and search the resume bank for qualified candidates. The system includes a secure and user-friendly management feature for tracking resumes and editing job data from any computer with an Internet connection. The experience is more efficient and interactive than traditional job search methods.
A common complaint about Internet job boards is that they cater to too many industries and employers are inundated with resumes from candidates who have little experience or education for the job to which they are applying. "Due to the fact that RxCareerCenter.com is a pharmacy specific job board, we continue to generate responses from some of the best qualified candidates," said Chad Ducote, P.D., Wal-Mart's Pharmacy Professional Recruitment Manager. "RxCareerCenter.com has become a key part of Wal-Mart and SAM'S Club's recruitment strategy. The automatic uploads to 7 major search engines is a tremendous time saver."
The pharmacy industry is experiencing a serious shortage of approximately 7,000 pharmacists nationwide, and an efficient tool for locating potential employees is essential. With an increase in the number of pharmacies being built nationwide and an increase in the population's dependency on drug therapies, the pressure of the pharmacist shortage is not expected to lessen any time soon.
In order to compete in a limited market, employers need to reach the most qualified candidates while making the most of their advertising dollars. Advertising on RxCareerCenter.com is extremely affordable considering the global audience and interactive tools available. In contrast, newspaper and trade journal advertising is expensive, has limited exposure and offers no interaction. Damita Freeman Jones, National Pharmacy Recruiter for NCS Healthcare - PharmaSource, agreed by stating, "Finding pharmacists nationwide can be challenging. RxCareerCenter.com has proven to be an invaluable resource. I am finding candidates and increasing the exposure of our company in the pharmacy community. I would recommend this site to anyone who recruits pharmacists!"
By fully utilizing the resources available at RxCareerCenter.com, employers make the best use of their advertising dollars and gain global exposure for their companies. Steve Croke adds, "With a strong user base and the tremendous Internet traffic generated through the Pharmacy Choice web portal, our clients are guaranteed to get maximum exposure - much more than traditional advertising can offer. It is clear that the pharmacist shortage is here to stay for some time; the response from our clients has been extremely favorable and we are pleased to be part of the solution."
