What is an In-House Physician Recruiter?
An 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.
