Good choice putting the motion in the footer. By the time someone scrolls that far they're already interested, so it rewards them without slowing down the first impression. For a health records app it also helps that the motion stays calm and doesn't feel flashy.
I lean light green because it carries through both the copy panel and the illustration, making the two halves feel connected. I’d keep “Find a job” clearly stronger than “For employers” if jobseekers are the main audience. That hierarchy matters more than the background preference alone.
