In today's fast-paced healthcare environment, physician recruiters face the challenge of navigating an increasingly competitive landscape. The efficiency of your recruitment process isn’t just important—it’s critical. We are increasingly hearing back from job-seeking physicians that they are frustrated by the duration of time it takes to hear back from recruiters. Delays in hiring can lead to increased costs, decreased productivity, operational disruptions, and even reputational damage. For physician recruiters, the stakes are high, and time truly is of the essence. To stay ahead, it's essential to adopt streamlined and effective recruitment strategies.

The healthcare recruitment landscape continues to be shaped by demand fluctuations, extended recruitment cycles, and a persistent need for skilled providers. The 2024 AAPPR Physician and Provider Recruitment Benchmarking Report highlights several key trends, suggesting that physician recruiters will need to adopt a proactive approach to meet the evolving challenges of 2025.

Our annual recruitment conference, PMRC24, just wrapped up in Clearwater Beach, Florida. We had the privilege of hosting a panel comprised of 6 candidates. Check out what we saw and heard from these candidates below and view the video for yourself!

PracticeMatch and UrbanBound Partner to Offer Streamlined Recruitment & Relocation Solutions

As the Manager of Program Relations at PracticeMatch, my primary focus is to forge meaningful connections with program coordinators. My role involves ensuring that these coordinators are well-informed about our career fairs, available resources, and the value PracticeMatch can offer to their programs. This helps them in turn share our information and recommend us to physicians. My approach to building relationships with program coordinators is informed by my previous experience as a physician recruiter. While my messaging has evolved, the insights I gained from that role continue to guide my current strategies.
