Top Tech Skills and Employers
Top Tech Skills
Given the complexities they face, many healthcare organizations are interested in tech professionals who have great project management and process skills. Project managers with knowledge of Agile and a history of wrestling with massive projects will stand out in a crowded pool of applicants, for instance.
Tech professionals with extensive analytics and database experience (and who have mastered basics like SQL) will also have their pick of offers, especially if they can pair that skillset with software development and other valuable skills.
Getting to the Right Compensation for Tech Professionals
It’s been a wild ride for tech salaries and benefits over the past few years. While salaries may be stabilizing after years of fluctuation due to competition and demand, tech professionals are still likely to be some of the highest-dollar hires in your organization.
Dice’s Tech Salary Report breaks down the current state of tech professional compensation, including average salaries parsed by location, occupation and skills, and also provides the benefits and perks that are most important to tech professionals. Take advantage of this exclusive resource in building compensation packages that will attract top tech candidates.
Top Employers
The biggest companies in healthcare are also among some of the biggest hirers of tech talent. Insurance companies, managed care, university hospital systems, and development and testing companies have all hired extensively in 2023, and each requires different types of tech professionals. For example, an insurance company might have a deep need for data scientists, while a hospital system might want generative AI developers and prompt engineers to help craft patient-facing interfaces.
For recruiters, the variety among healthcare’s top hirers of tech talent means more potential placements for more clients — which is a very good thing, especially since hiring at some of the industry’s largest companies has remained stable throughout the year.
