Physician Headhunters
|
A good physician headhunter, like the ones at Onyx M.D., should spend the bulk of the first meeting asking a series of questions and actively listening to the answers. The headhunter's first responsibility is to find out what the hospital; clinic or doctor is looking for in a new locum tenens relationship. The representative of the recruitment firm should take good notes and reaffirm each important aspect of the conversation with the client. Onyx M.D. is a contingency staffing company, which means noone is paid until a placement is made.
The physician headhunter turns to his own network of physicians and contacts made through years of working in the industry. A locum tenens agency will keep a database with hundreds or thousands of doctors and their specializations and desired areas of work. The goal of the recruitment firm is to match the desires of the clinic or hospital with the abilities of the physician. Creating a Contract with a Physician HeadhunterOnce the physician headhunter has identified the right prospect for a facility, he will negotiate the terms for the work provided by the doctor. Remember, Onyx M.D. does a free contingency search for the physicians and the healthcare facilities. The clinic or hospital always works out the details of the doctor's work with the locum tenens agency instead of the doctor. The headhunter takes the offer to the doctor interested in taking on the locum tenens project and asks for a response within a certain amount of time.The locum tenens headhunter, like the ones at Onyx M.D., assigns a percentage of the negotiated price to the agency and designates an amount of compensation for the doctor who will provide the service. The Onyx M.D staffing consultant or recruiting agency representative monitors the relationship of the doctor with the hospital to make sure both parties are satisfied with the work and to prepare to serve both parties in the future. |
