Ask most physician recruiters how they find great candidates and they’ll tell you they network. As it turns out, networking is imperative for physicians looking for jobs these days, too. In fact, it’s critical for all job hunters in America.
Workers in the U.S. don’t actually hunt for a job—the job finds them, says a new study from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (FRBSF). According to the data, most people who switch jobs in the U.S. never reported even looking for a job. That goes for people who were unemployed, too: 63.1% of people hired weren’t actively searching. What’s more, 42% of hires occur at companies that never even made a vacancy public.
