Who is hiring

The big names are familiar to anyone in central Ohio. OhioHealth, Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center, Mount Carmel, and Nationwide Children's anchor the hospital side, with campuses and outpatient sites stretching from downtown out to Dublin, Westerville, and Grove City. But a lot of the hiring happens at smaller employers: home health agencies, private practices, urgent cares, and long term care facilities that need people just as badly and often move faster on applications. Hiring on the board right now:

• Supreme Touch Home Health Services
• Change Point Psychology

Home health work in particular can put you close to your own neighborhood, since agencies staff cases all over Franklin County and the surrounding suburbs rather than at a single site.

What it pays

Among the healthcare postings on our board that list pay, the average is about $83,800 a year. Treat that as a midpoint across very different jobs, not a promise. Real offers land above or below it depending on your license, specialty, shift, and years of experience. Roles that require an active clinical credential generally sit toward the higher end, and overnight or weekend differentials can move the number meaningfully. Before you negotiate, compare figures for your specific title on our salary page.

How to get hired

Healthcare hiring in Columbus moves fast, and the good openings do not sit for long. A few things that consistently work:

• Set up job alerts for "health" so new postings hit your inbox the day they go live.
• Apply within the first day or two. Many clinical roles get filled from the first wave of applicants.
• Put your license or certification number, plus its expiration date, near the top of your resume. Recruiters screen for it first.
• Search more than one keyword. Along with health, try nurse, STNA, medical assistant, and therapist to catch postings written differently.
• Be ready for a quick phone screen. Home health and long term care employers often call within a day or two of a strong application.

And if you are on the hiring side rather than the job hunt, you can post a job and reach Columbus candidates directly.
