Imaging is currently among the hardest disciplines in healthcare to staff. MRI technologist vacancy sits at 17.4% nationally and CT has reached a record 19.4%, with some regions above 24%. A significant share of the workforce is over 50 and approaching retirement. Unlike most vacancies, an unfilled imaging post idles a capital asset rather than simply stretching a team.
Imaging licensure is state-by-state with no portability. Roughly eleven states do not license individual technologists at all, regulating instead at facility or equipment-operator level — where that applies, verification of registry status and continuing competency falls to you rather than a state board. ARRT is the primary registry across modalities.
Contract restores scanner uptime immediately; permanent fixes the structural gap. Many facilities deliberately run both, so a traveller holds the schedule while a permanent search proceeds without pressure. Contract-to-hire works particularly well here because modality competence is obvious within weeks on your own equipment.
Every candidate is spoken to before you see them. We confirm licensure status for your state, verify certifications at primary source, check unit-specific competency against the population you described at intake, and complete exclusion and background screening before submittal. Nothing reaches your inbox that we have not already checked.
Rates for this division sit inside the ranges on our published cost breakdown, and there is role-specific guidance in our hiring guides. If you want the service overview instead, see Imaging & Diagnostics staffing.
