LinkedIn Just Blocked Your InMails. Again.
You need to fill 3 positions this quarter. LinkedIn just shut you down for two weeks because your response rate dropped below 13%.
The physicians you need aren't even seeing your messages.
You're Not Alone
Every physician recruiter hits this wall. You're competing with 2,000+ other recruiters messaging the same physicians.
"56% of final-year residents reported being contacted over 100 times by recruiters during their training."
— AMN Healthcare, 2023 Survey of Final-Year Medical Residents
Your messages aren't bad. The physicians are just buried under an avalanche of identical InMails from everyone using the same tool.
Here's What Actually Happens
You send 100+ InMails
You're trying to fill urgent positions. You message everyone who matches.
Response rate drops below 13%
Physicians are overwhelmed. Most don't even open InMails anymore.
LinkedIn blocks you for 2 weeks
Bulk messaging disabled. You can't reach anyone. Your positions sit empty.
You explain to your director why positions aren't filled
Meanwhile, they're asking why you're paying $880/month for LinkedIn Recruiter.
The Real Problem
LinkedIn wasn't built for physician recruiting. It's a general professional network where:
- Most physicians don't actively use it (they're busy, you know, being doctors)
- They're bombarded by hundreds of generic recruiter messages
- The platform punishes you for low engagement that isn't even your fault
- You're paying $880/month to compete with thousands of other recruiters doing the exact same thing
What Successful Physician Recruiters Do Instead
They stop competing in the LinkedIn inbox and go where other recruiters can't follow.
Personal email + personal phone
When you reach physicians at their personal email and phone (not the hospital's public directory), you're not competing with 2,000 other InMails.
You're having a real conversation. No algorithmic limits. No bulk messaging restrictions. No 13% response rate requirements.
Here's the shift:
The Old Way (LinkedIn)
- • $880/month per seat
- • Limited InMails
- • Get blocked if response rate drops
- • Compete with thousands of recruiters
- • Physicians rarely check LinkedIn
The New Way (Direct Contact)
- • Unlimited outreach
- • No artificial limits
- • Personal email & phone
- • Stand out from inbox noise
- • 97% of physicians check email daily
