When it comes to physician recruitment, a good strategy and hard work are the keys to success.
The first step to creating a good strategy is research. I know that research is not always the most exciting aspect of the job, but it is a key stepping stone to success. Knowing the state of the overall physician market can help you in your physician recruitment strategy. Recruiters who are aware of the relative ease or difficulty of a candidate search can allow them to allocate their resources, time and tactics accordingly.
Luckily for you, PracticeLink lends a helping hand in the research department. Did you know that every quarter, we analyze the PracticeLink database to determine the ease or difficultly of recruitment for various specialties? This allows physician recruiters to evaluate their opportunities, searches and job responses within a larger context on the PracticeLink website.
What are the most in-demand specialties?
We base this information on the supply and demand gathered by the PracticeLink system and compile it into quarterly infographics, free to all physician recruiters. The most in-demand specialties are those with the most jobs posted on PracticeLink and are then ranked by the hardest-to-recruit specialties.
For the fifth quarter in a row, Neurology, Psychiatry, Gastroenterology and Emergency Medicine continue to be in the top five most in-demand specialties. During that time, Neurology has held strong at the top of the list.
