The TMA Healthcare Recruiting Summit and Talent Acquisition Summit were held August 15th & 16th in Philadelphia.  It was a privilege for us to not only attend the sessions, but to present as well.  Our own Regional Director, Shannon McAulay-Newcomb, spoke on the topic, 'Demystifying Recruitment Analytics: Winning the War for Talent in Healthcare'.  Regional Directors Roger Dowie and Katrina Polansky rounded out our coverage of these events as we also hosted a table to field questions and engage in informative discussions with conference attendees.   Here's What We Found Data is King Our topic turned out to be timely, and was a key theme throughout both days of each summit.

The growth of IT as an industry continues to be on the rise as expected.
