In light of the current physician shortage, we felt it important to address some of the possible outcomes as it relates to successful candidate recruitment. We have found that most residents receive upwards of 100 solicitations from prospective employers by the middle of their 4thyear. They are so overwhelmed that often times, they will shut down their job search within the 1st few months of looking so that they can focus on their work.
We feel that successful recruitment entails being extremely proactive; scheduling video calls and site visits quickly; quickly responding positively if there is interest and making very competitive offers.
