Candidate Sourcing

Physicians, mid-levels and healthcare professionals conduct their job searches using many different sources. For that reason, Levison Search Associates finds it essential to utilize virtually all sources to identify prospective candidates for your recruitment projects. These sources include:

Internet Job Boards E-mail Direct Mail Advertising Cold Calling Physician, Mid-level, and Healthcare Professional Databases Resident/Fellow Databases Residency and Fellowship Training Programs Professional society and association meetings Networking

Recruiting and Support Staff

Recruitment is labor intensive. Most hospitals, medical groups, and other healthcare organizations do not have the staff and/or resources necessary to manage all search projects in-house. It takes many staff to support the process of recruiting physicians, mid-level practitioners, and healthcare professionals.

Search Consultants manage the recruitment projects Researchers identify sources of candidates Assistant Recruiters/Sourcers conduct initial interviews to determine interest level or referrals to prospective candidates Advertising and Marketing staff design ads and marketing pieces and they ensure all sources are being utilized Data entry staff add new candidates to the database and update existing candidate records
