Almost every month in 2015, Nationwide Children’s Hospital posted 620 to 650 job openings, a hiring pace that has made the pediatric hospital “one of the top five for job listings for the past several months” according to data from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services recently featured in a Columbus Business First article. Taking turnover and part-time positions into account, “the hires could translate to about 500 net new jobs” ranging from entry-level technicians to nurses to research scientists, according to the article. Chief human resources officer Lis Baldock, herself a new hire this spring, said, “[w]e have just seen an enormous amount of growth across every clinical program. We’ve made investments (in clinical programs and research) and a lot of those investments are bearing fruit.” Children’s has “surpassed its goal under a 2008 city jobs creation incentive” of adding 2,400 full-time equivalents; that deal was made when the hospital began its $780 million expansion, which opened in 2012. A new $130 million project to add a faculty office building and outpatient clinic “will result mostly in services and jobs moving” but will also include “some new hires and faculty recruits.” For more, read the full article.
