Physician & APP Sourcing That Reduces Your Time-to-Fill
Job postings attract who's looking. Physician and APP sourcing helps you reach who you actually want, including candidates who aren't looking yet.
PracticeMatch's dedicated sourcing specialists proactively identify, engage, and qualify candidates who match your exact hiring criteria, then hand your team a warm, screened pipeline instead of a stack of resumes to sort through.
Your Best Candidates Aren't Applying. They're Being Recruited.
Why physician recruitment is harder than posting a job
The physicians who'd be the best fit for your organization are usually already employed, already busy, and not scrolling job boards. If your sourcing strategy starts and ends with a posting, you're only competing for the smallest slice of the market: the actively job-hunting minority.
The Passive Majority
Everyone else, the passive majority, including residents, fellows, and practicing physicians who'd move for the right opportunity, needs to be found, reached, and engaged directly.
That's where most in-house recruiting teams run out of bandwidth.

Expand Your Recruiting Reach Without Adding Headcount
Physician sourcing and APP recruiting services that extend your team's reach
Provider Sourcing gives your organization a dedicated extension of your recruitment team. Experienced specialists go out and find the physicians and APPs who match your specialty, location, experience level, and practice goals, then do the early legwork so your team can focus on closing candidates instead of chasing them.
See How Sourcing Works
Here's what that looks like in practice
Targeted identification and market research
We map the physician market for your specialty and geography before outreach ever begins, so effort goes toward candidates who actually fit.
Proactive, multichannel outreach
Direct engagement with practicing physicians, residents, and fellows, not only people who happen to see a posting.
Candidate qualification and interest assessment
Every candidate is personally vetted for credentials, current status, and genuine interest before they reach your desk.
Interview scheduling and coordination
We help move qualified candidates into your process, not only into your inbox.
Ongoing pipeline management
Sourcing doesn't stop at one candidate. We keep building your pipeline for what's next.
Regular reporting from a dedicated advisor
You always know what's happening, who's engaged, and where things stand.
Flexible Engagement Models
Physician and APP sourcing engagement options built around your fill-time goals
We function as a true adjunct to your recruiting team rather than a rigid, one-size-fits-all vendor. Provider Sourcing is available through several engagement models, so you can match the level of support to your fill-time objectives:
I would absolutely recommend PracticeMatch Client Sourcing. The cost is negligible compared to the placement fee a firm would charge.
Hourly Model
Start with 90 hours of active sourcing, with the option to scale up.
Global Model
Add full recruitment marketing support, including digital advertising and postcards, to enhance your sourcing outreach.
Ongoing Sourcing Projects
Work closely with a dedicated Sourcing Specialist embedded within your team's sourcing workflows.
Primary Sourcing Model
Includes job posting creation, email and text campaigns, and candidate lead forwarding, with a three-month commitment.
Short-term candidate boosts and long-term embedded support both fit within these models.
Where Your Team's Time Goes Further
We Handle the Reach. You Handle the Relationship.
Dedicated physician sourcing specialists build the relationships that make outreach work
The physicians worth reaching are the hardest to reach. Provider Sourcing puts that work in the hands of specialists with the relationships to make it count, so your team's time goes toward closing candidates instead of chasing them.
PracticeMatch has spent decades building relationships with physicians at every career stage, from residency through mid-career, through one of the most established physician engagement platforms in the industry. When our specialists reach out, they aren't strangers. That relationship equity is why we consistently connect with qualified candidates that traditional job-posting-based recruiting simply never reaches.
Our team plugs in as an extension of yours, bringing personalized outreach, qualified candidates, and results you can measure, whether you're trying to fill one hard-to-crack specialty or build a durable pipeline across your organization.
I started using PracticeMatch in 1999. Since then, we have hired 90% of our physicians through PracticeMatch. We can find candidates across the country with ties to Utah and with an interest in working in our community.
Relationships, Not Databases
Connections Built Through Real Conversations
How PracticeMatch's physician sourcing team differs from passive candidate databases
Most recruitment firms rely on physicians passively filling out an online profile and hoping the right opportunity finds them. PracticeMatch specialists have real, direct conversations with physicians starting from residency and fellowship, continuing throughout their careers. When we reach out on your behalf, physicians already know who we are, because the relationship started long before your opening existed.
This is also why we function as a true adjunct to your recruiting team rather than a rigid, one-size-fits-all vendor. We adjust our process and scale our involvement to match your business needs, ramping up or down seamlessly to help you meet your fill-time objectives.
Partner with PracticeMatch Provider Sourcing and you gain a dedicated physician recruiting partner focused on helping you hire the right providers, faster, with the accountability of a team member and the reach of a specialist.
