Hello!
When it comes to Family Physician recruitment in Canada, placement fees can vary widely depending on the region, the specific recruitment firm, and the complexity of the hiring process. Typically, recruitment agencies may charge a fee that ranges from 15% to 30% of the physician’s first-year salary. Some agencies may offer a flat fee instead, which can range from $20,000 to $40,000 CAD or more, depending on the specifics of the role and market demand.
For a ballpark figure, consider setting the placement fee at around $25,000 CAD as a starting point. It’s a good idea to talk to a few recruitment agencies to get multiple quotes and to understand what services they offer in terms of candidate sourcing, screening, and support throughout the hiring process.
Best of luck with your recruitment efforts!
