Are Job Alerts Still Useful for Health Economists?

The Problem with Job Alerts:

Have you signed up for email alerts for health economist jobs from a big pharmaceutical or consulting company? If so, how effective have they been for you?

From my experience, these alerts often miss the mark. Many of us are inundated with emails daily, and these notifications frequently get lost in the shuffle, landing in social or junk folders. Even when they do make it to your inbox, they can feel more like another layer of information overload than a helpful tool. Instead of simplifying your job search, they might be adding unnecessary noise.

Challenges for Human Resources

For HR professionals, the challenge is clear: how can you ensure your job opening stands out and reaches the right candidates effectively? Automated job alerts might not be enough to attract the specialized talent you need. They often fail to engage actively searching candidates and risk being overlooked altogether.

A Better Way to Connect with Health Economists

That’s where a niche platform like ours comes in. Instead of relying on automated alerts that may never be seen, consider posting your role on our job board to connect directly with job-seeking health economists actively looking for opportunities.

When you post your role here, you’re reaching a targeted audience of highly qualified candidates, cutting through the noise and ensuring your listing gets the attention it deserves. No more guesswork—just results.
