Instead, they review
the CV's (curriculum vitae) submitted by potential applicants,
interview those which have the most potential for a given position,
and make the hiring decision. Physicians, therefore, must submit
their CV's to these recruiters for consideration. This information
is stored in a database which is referred to for any available
position.
Because the physician
recruiter works for the organization and not the doctor, the organization
pays any fees associated with the hiring process. The physician
pays nothing. The physician is also free to continue his or her
job search independently and is under no obligation to accept
a position offered by a recruiter.
To learn more about
physician recruiters, doctors may want to visit the web sites
of some of the recruiting firm, including the Michigan
Recruitment and Retention Network, CompHealth,
and Baker, Ellerd
& Associates, Inc.
