Large-scale operator of specialty hospitals and rehabilitation centers across the US
Select Medical operates 50,000+ clinical staff across critical illness recovery hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, outpatient centers, and occupational health clinics, serving 82,000+ patients daily. The hiring velocity is accelerating—648 roles posted in the last 30 days—but the mix reveals operational strain: 1,089 healthcare positions versus only 1 engineering role signals a clinically-led, manual-process organization with minimal digital infrastructure investment. The tech stack (Epic, Oracle HCM, UKG, iCIMS, Kronos, SAP) reflects healthcare compliance requirements, but pain points around appointment scheduling, insurance claims, and patient experience suggest legacy systems are not keeping pace with operational scale.
