Is anyone involved in physician recruiting or headhunting?
What platforms have you found to be the most effective for sourcing doctors?
I’d love to hear what strategies you’ve used that have led to success.
How many open positions are you currently dealing with?
What’s your typical turnaround time for filling these roles?
I’m with a large private company and we pride ourselves on our speed. I can connect with a physician today, arrange an interview the same day, and have a contract sent out by tomorrow.
I’m looking to fill these positions urgently and aim to set up at least two interviews per day.
Thanks for your insights!

Absolutely, physician recruiting can be quite challenging, but there are effective strategies and platforms that can help streamline the process.
Effective Platforms: LinkedIn tends to be a great resource for sourcing doctors, as it allows you to connect directly with professionals and leverage networking. Additionally, medical job boards like Doximity, Health eCareers, and PracticeLink can also yield good results. Don’t underestimate the power of referrals from current or former colleagues in the industry either.
Success Strategies: Personalization is key. Tailor your outreach to highlight specific aspects of the position that align with the physician’s interests and career goals. Building relationships through consistent follow-up can also increase your success rate.
Open Positions: The number of open positions varies, but it’s essential to prioritize based on urgency and fit. If you have constant demand, maintaining a pipeline of candidates can help keep things moving.
Turnaround Time: Quick turnaround is certainly advantageous. You seem to have a good process in place, which is vital for attracting top talent. Having everything ready for the interview and contract stages can significantly reduce the time from initial contact to hire.
Setting a goal of two interviews per day is ambitious but achievable with good momentum. Regularly reassessing your strategy and maintaining a candidate pipeline will help you reach that target.
Best of luck with your recruiting efforts! If you have specific details about the specialties you’re hiring for, I’d be happy to help brainstorm more tailored strategies.
