Boost Recruitment Efforts
Summary
Health eCareers is a recruiting network that unites providers (physicians, advanced practitioners, and nurses) with employers. This division of Everyday Health Group needed high-quality, findable, shareable, actionable content to attract visitors to:
- Health eCareers information hub for providers and recruiters
- Sister organization MedPage Today
- Newsletters for partners, including medical associations and communities
The team at Health eCareers worked with Aha Media Group to launch a series of relevant, search-engine-optimized articles. They were thrilled with a 7k increase in organic traffic in 12 months. Partner organizations were equally pleased: “This is the content that’s actually interesting.”
The challenge
Stephanie Davis is the content marketing manager at Health eCareers. Her mission is to produce and distribute valuable content that draws healthcare providers and recruiters to Health eCareers and partners’ websites. “We ultimately want job seekers to apply for our jobs, then keep coming back for excellent content they can’t find elsewhere,” she said.
When Stephanie joined Health eCareers, she was delighted to find thousands of ready-to-publish articles. However, as she dug in, she realized the content didn’t match her audiences’ needs.
As a content marketing department of one, Stephanie knew developing content on her own was a heavy lift. “I needed help from people with deep healthcare expertise who could create high-quality, relevant content for us,” she said.
Our approach
Stephanie is a self-described Aha Media “fan girl” who learned about us from attending webinars with our founder, Ahava Leibtag. She reached out to us, and we got to work.
Stephanie used keyword research to determine a mix of evergreen and timely topics relevant to healthcare providers and recruiters. Aha Media Griffin researched and wrote dozens of articles, with plans for more.
Articles focused on information that helps providers and recruiters excel in their careers. Samples include:
For healthcare providers:
How to Negotiate a Locum Tenens Contract | Health eCareers
How to Talk to Patients in the Age of Dr. Google | Health eCareers
Physician Shortages in States with Gender-Affirming Care Bans | Health eCareers
For healthcare recruiters:
The Role of AI in Healthcare Talent Acquisition | Health eCareers
The Importance of Cultural Fit in Healthcare Hiring | Health eCareers
Results
“Organic traffic in the keywords we’re ranking for has skyrocketed in the year since we started,” Stephanie reported. Highlights include:
- 20% increase in organic traffic from October 2022 to October 2023
- Ranking in 5 new key categories on search engine results pages (SERPs)
- 6K keywords with “People Also Ask” search results
- Positive feedback from partner associations and communities
Key takeaways
-
Understand your audience
Attract and engage a diverse group by tailoring content to your audience’s needs.
-
Say “no” to canned content
Optimized content won’t engage your audience if it doesn’t align with their needs. Pair deep audience research with expert copywriting.
-
Mix it up
One part evergreen, one part timely topics is a formula for success. Long-lasting articles build up steam over time while buzz-worthy topics attract the now-factor.
Fill your candidate pool
Recruitment content is more than job posting copy. Engage your audience with content that attracts their attention and builds brand awareness.
