Anesthesiologist Recruiting

Many clinics and hospitals have changed the way they fill anesthesiology positions in the last 10 years. Instead of posting open jobs in medical journals, on message boards or websites, clinics and hospitals are using doctor recruiting firms to find physicians.

How Recruiting for Anesthesiology Positions Works

The process of recruiting for anesthesiology positions starts with the hospital or other medical facility looking for a new anesthesiologist through a physician staffing service. The physician staffing firm, such as Onyx M.D., collects information from the medical facility regarding the open anesthesiology position. Typically, the hospital will provide a job description, detailed explanation of the benefits package offered and a list of qualifications the doctor is required to meet.

The recruiter begins the process of finding people qualified to meet the desires of their client by checking with an existing database of doctors looking for new positions. Recruiters are always looking for new physicians to add to their database to make the process of filling positions easier. If database does not have qualified individuals, the recruiter will use her network of relationships to find qualified anesthesiologists for the client.

Next, the recruiter shares the information gathered from the client with the prospective employee to ascertain whether or not the doctor is interested in the job. A meeting between the client and doctor is facilitated by the headhunter as an initial interview for the job. The client pays various fees to the recruiting firm and hires the best prospect available.
