Leveling the Playing Field: How Recruiters Boost Talent Management for Mid-Sized Companies

MRI Network

Statistics indicate that the average cost of hiring a new employee in the U.S. was $4,700 in 2022. Furthermore, most employers agree that this cost can be almost three times the position’s salary. So, if you’re hiring for a position that pays a salary of $40,000, your hiring costs may be as high as $120,000 to fill that role. Now, imagine trying to fill multiple roles in a mid-sized company — it can be quite expensive, to say the least, with no guarantee that you’ll get the right skills.

What can we do to increase global access to imaging?

AuntMinnie

I heard a story from a colleague about a 10-year-old boy in rural Uganda named Jonathon Goodfaith who was hit by a car and broke his tibia. There was no x-ray available. The fracture was put in a cast without proper reduction, and he will have a limp for the rest of his life -- a life of pain and discomfort, all for lack of an x-ray. Over 50% of the world's population (4 billion people) have no access to imaging, a number thought to be much higher in rural areas.
