No search firms please. I had a candidate say this to me recently. I’m guessing that the physician who said that may not know what s/he is missing by limiting contact.
I have nothing but tremendous respect for my colleagues who work as internal recruiters for specific companies or healthcare systems. They are top notch professionals usually and provide their candidates with great service.
HOWEVER, they are limited to representing their company only and in many cases are limited to a specific geographic location as well. As a result, you will get from them info that is directed to their specific hiring needs. As you might suspect, that info isn’t always targeted to your interests and expectations of employment.
In contrast, working with an independent third party recruiting firm means that you are working with a recruiter who represents a number of employers and who is in a position to share with you a greater number and variety of options for your search.
The range of services that can be offered by a third party recruiter is greater in my estimation than an internal recruiter which is a reason to always work with a third party recruiter first. Of course, I do have a professional bias.
Also, I’ve heard some candidates have a perception that a new physician employee might be offered fewer new hire benefits or perks as a result of being represented by a third party recruiter. That is not true and the practice that would scrimp on benefits to a new employee should be rigorously scrutinized as a questionable place to work longer term. If they are willing to nickel and dime you as part of the hiring process what can you expect once you are onboard? Most practices budget as part of their hiring process a range for the fee they will pay to a recruiter and for the “benefits” they will offer including whether a welcome or sign on bonus may be offered and the range for that bonus.
I’m available for a phone consultation about your job search at no obligation to you at any time. Just caaaaaalllll me!
Happy and healthy job searching.

Now, William, said his host, I understand perfectly your feeling about boats, and what I wish to prove to you is that vioxx it is a feeling without any foundation.. The three returned together, Alicia casting curious glances at the uncomfortable youths, norco Champe threatening to burst into giggles with every breath.. If a man leaves for an hour, twenty correspondents may potassium be howling, Where was Mr.. From then on, the Major and Miss Lydia sat bewitched, and thyroid saw the counterfeit presentment of a haughty Talbot dragged, as the Major afterward expressed it, through the slanderous mire of a corrupt stage..
