Physician Recruiting Agency Expands During Tough Economic Times
Plans New Offices in Texas, Utah, Florida and Georgia

Denver, CO – November 18, 2008 -  Onyx M.D. is in an enviable position, enjoying robust growth at a time when the economy is shaky and many businesses are cutting back. In 2008 the physician staffing firm doubled the size of its Denver office allowing the company to more than triple the number of people it employs. Onyx M.D. is now planning on adding offices in Dallas, Salt Lake, Fort Lauderdale and Atlanta. 
“We are expanding our offices so we can better serve our customers and hire top level physician recruiters in those markets“, says Marketing Director Shawn Johnson. “The healthcare industry is experiencing a nationwide doctor shortage and an aging population. It is the perfect storm, putting many healthcare facilities in a scramble to find qualified personnel. By extensively pre-screening physicians, we are able to provide healthcare facilities with both temporary (locum tenens) and permanent staff. It’s a service that healthcare companies are turning to more and more often these days.”

“Onyx M.D. has a unique perspective and company culture,” says Matt Young National Sales Director. “Because we are physician-owned, we understand the issues that both healthcare facilities and providers are facing. The physicians we work with feel they are more than just a commodity, but a intergral part of our business. Lack of timely staffing can cost healthcare facilities significant income, as well as reducing the overall quality of service provided. We are looking for people to join our organization to fill physician recruiter and client service representative positions with the drive, skill and determination to help us serve our healthcare clients staffing needs.”

Onyx M.D. Elite Physician Staffing places both temporary and permanent positions. Temporary placement is often attractive because it allows both the doctor and the facility to make sure the fit is right under real-world situations before any long-term commitment is made. Placing locum tenen physicians helps healthcare facilities provide continuity of care to the communities they serve.

Onyx M.D. is a leader in locum tenen and permanent placement staffing. While the concept of traveling physicians is not new, the nationwide physician and nursing shortage has put new strains on healthcare delivery. Hospitals across the country have responded by becoming increasingly reliant on temporary staffing solutions. In business since 2005, Onyx M.D. was formed to respond to this growing demand.
