Recruit UPMC, Academic Medical & Transplant Program Talent in Pittsburgh
Careerscape's Pittsburgh healthcare team recruits nurses, clinical researchers, health administrators, and allied health professionals across UPMC, Allegheny Health Network, and Western Pennsylvania's expansive health system network.
Pittsburgh's healthcare sector is dominated by UPMC — one of the largest integrated delivery and finance systems in the country with $26B+ in revenue and 40+ hospitals. Allegheny Health Network (Highmark) provides the competitive counterweight. Together, these two systems employ more people than any other industry in Western Pennsylvania and create a healthcare labor market of exceptional depth and stability.
Careerscape's Pittsburgh healthcare recruiters place professionals across both major systems and the independent providers between them — transplant nurses at UPMC, primary care NPs at community practices, healthcare administrators, and the clinical research professionals supporting Pitt's medical school and UPMC's research enterprise. We understand the compensation dynamics shaped by UPMC and AHN's dominance.
For job seekers, Pittsburgh offers healthcare careers at one of the most respected health systems in the country at the lowest cost of living of any major Northeastern healthcare market.

Job Seeker
I was a nurse at a small hospital and wanted to work at a major academic center. My recruiter got me into UPMC's neuro ICU. The career growth has been incredible, and I own a house on a nurse's salary. Try that in Boston.
Pittsburgh salaries are 10-15% below Philadelphia. Cost of living is 20-25% lower. Purchasing power is comparable. Our Salary Guide compares both Pennsylvania markets.
