n in-house physician recruiter is
usually an executive level employee of the hospital,
medical group or healthcare system that he or she
represents. In-house physician recruiters are typically
highly respected professionals that may hold the title
of manager, director, vice president or even
administrator. They differ a great deal from traditional
"headhunter" or "fee-based" recruiters. Typically,
in-house recruiters know their organization’s particular
opportunities very well. In addition, they often live in
the same town where the practice is based.
While many in-house recruiters appear to be representing
large organizations, chances are the organization is
simply providing a public service by assisting growing
practices in their community and outlying areas find new
associates and partners.
In-house physician recruiters are a very select group of
people. As a matter of fact, there are probably fewer
than 1,000 of these healthcare professionals nationwide.
Here are just a few of the reasons to work with in-house
physician recruiters in finding a new or first practice…
They are motivated to make a good match for the
practices that they represent. If they do not have an
opportunity for you, they are often acquainted with
other in-house recruiters that may be able to help you.
In-house recruiters can introduce you to the people you
need to know in starting a new practice… like realtors,
bankers, referring physicians, schools, potential
employers for your spouse, etc.
