What's the difference between PracticeLink and RecruitPhysician?

PracticeLink is a job board where you post positions and wait for physicians to apply. RecruitPhysician is a contact database that gives you direct access to physician emails and phone numbers for proactive outreach to any physician, including those not actively job searching.

Can I use both PracticeLink and RecruitPhysician?

Yes, many healthcare recruiters use both. Job boards like PracticeLink are good for inbound applications from active job seekers. RecruitPhysician complements this with proactive outreach to passive candidates who may not be on job boards.

How does RecruitPhysician help reach passive candidates?

RecruitPhysician provides personal email addresses and direct phone numbers for 250,000+ physicians. This allows you to reach physicians directly rather than waiting for them to find your job posting, enabling outreach to the 80% of physicians who aren't actively job searching.

Tired of waiting for candidates to apply?

Stop posting jobs. Start recruiting physicians.

Job boards like PracticeLink are passive. You post, you wait, you hope. What if you could reach 250,000+ physicians directly—including the 80% who aren't actively looking?

The job board problem

Job boards work for candidates who are actively looking. But the best physicians? They're usually not on job boards.

Waiting for candidates to apply

Job boards are passive. You post and hope. Meanwhile, the best candidates aren't actively looking—they need to be found and recruited directly.

No direct contact information

PracticeLink only gives you candidate profiles after they apply. You can't proactively reach out to passive candidates who would be perfect for your role.

Competing with every other recruiter

When a candidate does apply, they're applying to dozens of jobs. You're just one of many in their inbox.

Limited to active job seekers

Only 15-20% of physicians are actively job searching. Job boards miss the 80% who might move for the right opportunity.

Per-posting or subscription fees

Pay for each job posting or expensive annual subscriptions—and still wait for candidates to come to you.

Outdated candidate information

Physician profiles on job boards often haven't been updated in months or years. Contact info may be stale.

Flip the script: Recruit physicians proactively

With direct contact information, you reach out to physicians first. You find the perfect candidates—they don't have to find you.

Personal Emails

Bypass hospital spam filters. Reach physicians at their personal inbox.

Direct Phone Numbers

Call physicians directly. Skip the hospital switchboard and gatekeepers.

Target Passive Candidates

Reach the 80% of physicians who aren't actively job searching.
