In today's inTraining webinar, Why Physicians Use PracticeLink: A View from the Other Side, I talked about how putting yourself in the candidates’ shoes can give you a whole new perspective on your physician recruitment process.
Have you ever tried searching as if you were a physician looking for a new opportunity? Maybe you’ve even looked for a new job yourself in the last few years. Either experience can open your eyes to how overwhelming a job search can be and how many options there are. (You can also see firsthand how you fare against your competition. Are you successfully positioning your organization as an employer of choice and the best place to practice medicine?)Beyond that, you will also have a better idea of why PracticeLink is the physician recruitment tool of choice for both physicians and in-house physician recruiters. Why is PracticeLink the first place physicians go to find their first or next practice? It’s simple.
- They can search jobs easily. Physicians can search virtually all jobs in any specialty, from more than 5,000 medical facilities nationwide. They can easily identify practically all the available jobs in their specialty in a matter of seconds, and respond to them in a matter of minutes.
While registration is NOT required, and physicians opt in and out of the PracticeLink system as they wish, registration provides additional benefits, such as applying to your jobs easily with just one click.
- They receive new opportunities regularly. Physicians receive email notifications of newly posted jobs in their specialty— a great time-saver for the busy physician who doesn’t have time to peruse jobs as often as they’d like.
- They can store, send and save their CV for free. Physicians can upload their CV during the registration process or build their Web CV through the PracticeLink system. They can store, manage and send their CV to any recruiter with job opportunities on PracticeLink. They can update and edit their CV at any time and also have the ability to export their Web CV for use in an interview or other professional situation.
- They can get free help from a dedicated physician relations team. Our physician relations team helps get to the why behind a candidate’s job search. They interview candidates and offer free job-search assistance—ultimately resulting in more connections with in-house physician recruiters like you.
- They get prepared for their job search with PracticeLink Magazine. The quarterly, award-winning PracticeLink Magazine engages and educates candidates in career-related and job search topics as well as the business and legal aspects of medicine. Each of the quarterly themed issues delivers content relevant to their job search process: Quality of Life (Winter), Job Search (Spring), Interview (Summer) and Contracts and Compensation (Fall).
- They’re informed about when to do what in the job-search process. The Guide: PracticeLink’s 10-Step Guide to Finding your Next Practice is direct mailed to residents twice each year and delivered in person and via webinar. You can download a copy for yourself here.
- They can meet recruiters face-to-face at premium events. We’re hosting 11 PracticeLink Live! Physician Job Fairs + Seminars in 2016. Each job fair includes an educational workshop with an expert panel of recruiters that lays out a helpful timeline for residents and fellows who are hoping to transition smoothly from training to practice. This focus on education is what sets us apart from other job fairs…not to mention the convenient venues and awesome food!
It’s clear to see why physicians choose PracticeLink as their preferred career advancement resource. Will they find you there?
