Lever Helps CityHealth Supercharge Its Healthcare Recruitment Efforts
In 2025, the healthcare industry is facing an unprecedented demand for talent. With a growing aging population, widespread burnout, and competition for skilled medical professionals at an all-time high, health systems must evolve their recruitment strategies. That’s exactly what CityHealth, a leading urban healthcare provider, did when it partnered with Lever, a top-rated Talent Acquisition Suite trusted by mission-driven organizations worldwide.
The Challenge: Hiring Quality Clinical Talent—Fast
CityHealth operates over 25 hospitals and community clinics across major metro areas in the U.S. As they expanded into underserved communities and opened new behavioral health and urgent care facilities, they encountered several key challenges:
- Shortage of specialized medical professionals, including RNs, nurse practitioners, and behavioral health specialists
- Need for faster hiring timelines in emergency departments and high-need units
- Decentralized recruitment systems across hospitals and clinics
- Difficulty meeting DEI goals, especially for leadership roles and underserved specialties
CityHealth needed a scalable, healthcare-ready recruitment platform that could support their mission of delivering accessible, high-quality care.
