Want to Reach Passive Job-Seeking Health Economists?

Hiring experienced health economists who can start contributing on day one is a top priority for most companies. Yet, the process of finding and hiring these professionals often feels more difficult and time-consuming than it should be.

  • Around 70% of experienced health economists are passive job seekers, not actively browsing job boards or career pages.
  • Job alerts often end up unnoticed in promotions or spam folders.
  • These professionals are already thriving in their current roles, keeping only a casual eye on the job market.

Why Passive Job Seekers Matter

A major reason lies in the fact that approximately 70% of experienced health economists are passive job seekers. They aren’t actively scouring job boards, visiting your company’s career page, or subscribing to alerts. Even when they receive job notifications, these often go unnoticed in promotions or spam folders.

These professionals are already thriving in their current roles. They’re engaged in meaningful projects, advancing their careers, and not in a rush to move. At best, they keep a casual eye on the job market, making it hard for employers to reach and engage them.
