The candidate is qualified, highly motivated in their work, needs minimal training, and could bring new insight and perspective to the role. That’s a great day to be a recruiter! That is until the candidate responds, “I’m not interested in new job opportunities at this time.” This candidate is called a passive candidate, and there are a lot of these candidates out there. They’re often overlooked by recruiters because passive candidates aren’t actively seeking a new position. Here’s how to identify them: [Read More](https://blog.finder.doximity.info/how-to-attract-and-recruit-active-vs.-passive-candidates) Filed under [Reaching passive candidates](https://blog.finder.doximity.info/topic/reaching-passive-candidates), [tips for physician recruitment](https://blog.finder.doximity.info/topic/tips-for-physician-recruitment) ## [The 2022-23 Doximity Recruitment Checklist](https://blog.finder.doximity.info/the-2022-23-doximity-recruitment-checklist) Posted by [Doximity TF Team](https://blog.finder.doximity.info/author/doximity-tf-team) Wednesday, August 17 [![](https://blog.finder.doximity.info/hubfs/The_2022_23_Doximity_Recruitment_Checklist.jpeg)](https://blog.finder.doximity.info/the-2022-23-doximity-recruitment-checklist) Recruiting is all about preparation and timing, so we created this checklist for physician recruiters to follow for the remainder of 2022 and into 2023.

It might be the geography.  For physicians, no two U.S. states are the same. Deciding where to practice for a physician can be a very substantial decision, especially when the doctor’s family is involved.

In fact, the [U.S. Surgeon General](https://www.hhs.gov/surgeongeneral/priorities/health-worker-burnout/index.html) recently reported that 54% of doctors and nurses were experiencing burnout before COVID-19, with nearly 66% of nurses considering resigning. While both men and women healthcare workers are experiencing burnout, women – who often assumed more childcare responsibilities during the pandemic – have been the most impacted. According to [Doximity’s 2021 Physician Compensation Report](https://c8y.doxcdn.com/image/upload/v1/Press%20Blog/Research%20Reports/Doximity-Compensation-Report-2021.pdf), 25% of surveyed women physicians reported they have considered early retirement due to COVID overwork.  [Read More](https://blog.finder.doximity.info/5-things-recruiters-can-do-to-support-physicians-facing-burnout) Filed under [Physician burnout](https://blog.finder.doximity.info/topic/physician-burnout), [tips for physician recruitment](https://blog.finder.doximity.info/topic/tips-for-physician-recruitment) ## [The Great Summer ‘22 Reading & Listening List for Physician Recruiters](https://blog.finder.doximity.info/the-great-summer-22-reading-listening-list-for-physician-recruiters) Posted by [Doximity TF Team](https://blog.finder.doximity.info/author/doximity-tf-team) Tuesday, July 05 [![](https://blog.finder.doximity.info/hubfs/Summer_22_Reading_and_Listening.jpeg)](https://blog.finder.doximity.info/the-great-summer-22-reading-listening-list-for-physician-recruiters) “What an astonishing thing a book is, one glance and you’re inside the mind of another person,” Carl Sagan once said.
