Healthcare & Medical Job Market Insights
Week of June 22, 2026
Market Overview
Maximus and its related entities (MAXIMUS, Maximus Inc.) collectively represent over 649 open roles across a wide salary range of $52,207 to $110,786, signaling sustained government-adjacent healthcare services demand; Modern Healthcare has noted ongoing expansion in Medicaid and federal health program administration as a key driver of this hiring volume.
According to the CDC and WHO, workforce shortages in clinical and public health roles remain acute, yet the current tracked listings show a concentration of hiring activity in healthcare IT, defense health, and managed services firms like HII Mission Technologies Division (161 roles, avg $117,267) rather than direct patient care, reflecting a structural shift in where healthcare dollars are flowing.
Healthcare Dive has reported persistent pressure on health systems to digitize operations, which aligns with the strong presence of technology-adjacent employers such as VAST Data (192 roles, avg $163,347) and World Wide Technology (167 roles, avg $172,833) in this hiring cycle, suggesting that clinical informatics and health data skills command a significant salary premium over traditional administrative roles.
For Job Seekers
The American Medical Association recommends that healthcare professionals pursuing roles at government contractors like Maximus or HII Mission Technologies emphasize compliance knowledge, specifically HIPAA, CMS regulations, and value-based care frameworks, as these competencies are frequently screened in structured behavioral interviews for these organizations.
Salary expectations should be calibrated carefully: roles at federal health services contractors average $52,207 to $110,786 depending on seniority, while health technology firms in this cycle average $163,347 or higher; Mayo Clinic and Modern Healthcare both highlight that candidates who can bridge clinical expertise with data or operational skills are consistently landing offers at the higher end of posted ranges.
Hiring timelines at large employers like L3Harris Technologies (169 roles) and HII Mission Technologies (161 roles) often include security clearance vetting, which can extend the process by 60 to 120 days; healthcare professionals targeting these roles should initiate applications well before their target start date and be prepared for multi-stage technical and compliance-focused interview panels.
