As the marketing manager here at PracticeLink, I’m always looking for ways to keep myself current with the trends, best practices and skills needed to do my job. In a world where everything is constantly changing and evolving, continuing education is critical. As industries change, so do the technologies, strategies and skill sets needed to ensure success and career growth. We know this to be true for the physician recruitment industry too.

PracticeLink’s Broadcast Email tool puts you in direct contact with the candidates who interest you the most. But to make the most of both your time and candidates’ time, it’s important to be a good email steward.

Whether you’re a rookie physician recruiter just getting your feet wet or a seasoned recruiter with many years under your belt, physician visas and immigration laws are topics you need to understand. You need to understand both the differences among visa types and the pros and cons to sponsoring a potential hire. And if you indeed identify candidates for placements in your system, make immigration an active element of your recruitment strategy. Remember – an international physician is interested in both a good job and working with an employer committed to qualifying him/her for visa status.

It was a pleasure for our team members to sit down with Cari Chaves, physician recruiter for Signature Healthcare in Brockton, MA, just before our Boston PracticeLink Live! Physician Job Fair, where she joined us to get face-to-face time with potential candidates.
