New TextMatch Service Enables Hospital Recruiters and Healthcare Employers to Conveniently Recruit Doctors and Advanced Practice Clinicians via Text
St. Louis, MO, May 20, 2018- With the healthcare industry leading the nation's record-low unemployment rates, physician recruitment is as fast-paced and competitive as ever, especially for healthcare employers and their inhouse recruiting team. Healthcare recruiters are increasingly turning to new, more effective uses of technology to contact physicians for practice opportunities in today's intense physician recruiting market. Texting candidates via a new messaging service designed specifically for physician recruitment offers a streamlined, quick way for healthcare employers to reach out to physicians before a competing employer does so. PracticeMatch, a company that provides a leading physician database and other recruiting resources to hospital and healthcare recruiters, has created the industry's first texting program for inhouse recruiters, based on market research and client demand.
"According to our market research, about 80% of physicians reported having received up to 30 contacts from recruiters about practice opportunities in the past 90 days, but only about 15% reported receiving a text message about opportunities," states Mike York, CEO of PracticeMatch. "Text messaging is such a direct, efficient way to reach out to candidates, so we wanted to help staff physician recruiters tap into this convenient mode of communication that is clearly not yet being utilized by many recruiters to its fullest potential."
"We are excited to offer recruiters a faster, more personal approach to contacting physicians about the opportunities most suited to their specific career needs," states York. "There is no other product like this on the market for inhouse physician recruiters, and the outstanding functionality of this offering will significantly impact the recruiting process and vastly improve results, by providing another way to conveniently and directly contact candidates."
PracticeMatch is one of the most established companies serving healthcare employers with recruiting resources including job boards, career fairs, and candidate leads. Established more than 25 years ago, its Pinpoint physician database includes over 350,000 interviewed, pre-screened physicians. Based in St. Louis, MO, the company hosts more than 30 physician career fairs annually, across the country.
