Everyone is mobile these days, and physicians are no exception. In fact, when it comes to new technology updates, physicians are often at the top of the curve. Take the new Apple iPhone: Physicians adopted the iPhone 7 faster than the rest of the population!

It’s your job to get candidates to sell you on why they’re the right physician for the job.
When you’re working with a candidate who really wants the job (whether it’s for professional or economic reasons), you’re in the buyer’s seat. The candidates will sell themselves to you as the right person for the position. Recruiting is definitely selling, but recruiting expert Lou Adler (CEO of the Adler Group) says the process is far more effective when recruiters play the buyer. You can read the full article by Adler on Inc.com 4 Ways to Get Job Candidates to Sell You (you can also subscribe to the full Adler Group article library here), but we’ve included a quick synopsis of how Adler’s “staying the buyer” process works here.

An unemployed doctor is a rare thing these days. Because the majority of physicians aren’t actively seeking new career opportunities, many physician recruiters automatically weed these physicians out when in fact, you should be working to attract them. Why? The majority of physicians are still curious about relevant opportunities and they’re open to discussing them – which means recruiters need to connect with them in places where they’re already networking and learning.

You know these three words well: recruiting is selling. The product you’re selling is your healthcare facility. Physician candidates are your sales leads. And since you’re selling a position at your facility, it’s imperative to know everything possible about it. But that goes well beyond patient volume – you also need to sell the community.

The way physicians are paid is an ongoing discussion in healthcare reform. But if you think changing physician compensation models is simply about how much money doctors are paid, think again. New compensation models are about changing how doctors practice and how they allocate their resources.

The culture of medicine today has led to the erosion of career satisfaction among physicians. Dissatisfaction comes from the gamut of physicians, young and old, male and female, family practitioners to cardiologists. In fact, burnout is more common among physicians than other workers throughout the country, but is career satisfaction something a physician recruiter can help with? Absolutely.

Physician recruitment has changed over the years, but the need for compelling, targeted recruitment messages hasn’t. Despite new technologies and the race for scale, speed, and efficiency in physician recruitment, the MESSAGE is still vital – and yet sometimes, it feels as though it is taking a back seat. That’s simply not the case.
