HAPPY MONDAY, Service Professional!
Your Experience, Their Future
We know that many people reading this newsletter are long-time BMETs, field engineers, or HTM pros who’ve been on the frontlines of patient care for years (if not decades). You’ve told us in surveys and conversations that burnout is real and you’re not necessarily looking for more work. We get it—after all, you already pour your heart and soul into your full-time roles.
Still, we’re on a mission to expand the talent pool of skilled BMETs and field engineers—and we can’t do it without your insight. If you know someone who’s:
Just finishing a BMET program and looking for real-world experience, Early-career and itching for side gigs to grow their skills, Or a soon-to-retire pro who wants to keep a toe in the field on their own schedule,
then point them our way. Our MedServ Marketplace model allows side-hustlers—or part-time explorers—to accept gigs that interest them and decline the rest. They’re never locked in to a full-time arrangement.

Let’s Welcome New Talent—Even From Outside HTM
We’re also excited to bring fresh faces into the profession, even if they don’t come from a strictly medical background. People with maintenance, light repair, HVAC, refrigeration, or welding experience have valuable know-how that can transfer to medical technology—especially with our basic training on hospital environments, medical equipment fundamentals, and customer service skills.
For example, one of our OEM customers manufactures a product that is a perfect fit for folks with HVAC or refrigeration skills who want to pivot into healthcare.
Whether they’re looking to learn on the job in a non-technical or “technical-adjacent” role, or they’re ready to dive in at a more advanced level, we have opportunities to get them started.

Why Refer a Friend, Colleague, or Neighbor?
Strengthen Our Industry: Fresh talent—whether from HTM programs or the trades—keeps healthcare technology running smoothly. Bridge the Skills Gap: Many clinics and hospitals are understaffed in equipment service, and your recommendation can help close that gap. Invest in the Future: By introducing new people to part-time, flexible gigs, you’re helping them build a pathway into a rewarding career they might not otherwise consider.
We've Got Their Back
If you refer someone to MedServ Marketplace, we’ll walk them through every step—from registration and onboarding to learning the ropes of hospital protocols. We never force a minimum number of gigs, and they’ll know each job’s specifics (pay, tasks, location) before accepting. In other words, it’s a low-barrier way for them to gain a foothold in healthcare.
(P.S. If you’re personally curious but worried about time or conflict with a current job, send us a message at service@medservmarketplace.com and let’s chat privately. We’re here to answer all your questions, confidentially.)
