Expect Transparency from Our Candidate Database

Dec 03, 2020

We believe in healthcare recruiting. And the right people can’t find the right jobs when firms use tricks at any part of the process. And, beyond that, we believe in efficient recruiting. When you post open jobs, you won’t need to start from scratch to find candidates. We have more than 95% of the practicing doctors in our database already, and we know how to best leverage that data. It’s a lot easier for you to search for doctors who have already been sourced and screened by us.

Our approach in this space is important to note because other recruiting firms take such a different route.

In fact, there are some secret practices that you should look out for from other firms.

1. Old data. 

Firms like to tout their huge databases and years in the business. Be sure to ask, “How old is the data? How do you refresh the data?” 

2. Irrelevant data.

Organizations claiming to have updated personal data on their physicians don’t tell you that the physicians in their database did not sign up to be recruited. 

3. Shallow data. 

Databases and job boards could care less about their data or the candidate. They just want more. As the president of one organization said, “ I don’t care about candidates, I only want CVs”.

4. Thoughtless data. 

None of them care in the least about the candidate.  

All of that can leave you spinning your wheels and coming up short.

The good news is that Inline does things differently for you. 

1. Refreshed data. 

Our data is continually updated, added to and removed from by professional recruiters who talk to thousands of candidates a month. 

2. Relevant data. 

Our candidates use our service to find jobs. They know who we are and they know what we use their data for. Our database has over 1.2 million records, but we know who is active. 

3. Smart data.

Our technology was created for recruitment and nothing else.

4. Thoughtful data. 

We care about the experience of the candidate. That’s why candidates choose us. We treat them like more than a CV.

We actively market to the candidate population every day. Real live humans use data generated from artificial intelligence in our technology to efficiently and effectively source screen and match candidates exactly to the parameters of our clients. And we’ll tell you exactly what we do and how we do it. 

At Inline - we don’t have any secrets. We have your back.

Student Loans: Get Off My Back!

Many students, past and present, deal with the necessary haggle of student loans; especially for those pursuing higher education. A survey completed by the AAMC in 2015 states that medical students in particular who graduated that year carried on average $182K in debt, while those who graduated in 2016, rose up to $190K, with nearly 25% carrying more than $200K. Pretty substantial, and frankly “scary” numbers for a medical student. In additional to this burden, about 33% of these students still carry a debt from their undergraduate studies, which is typically around $24K.

Now that we've fed you the veggies, how about some good news? Once you matched into a residency program, the general salary for a first-year resident is $52.5K. Though you may not be jumping out of your shoes, there are many programs available beyond your initial salary that can help you chip away at those lingering debts. For example, a ten-year plan would pan out to about $2,000 per month in payments (with $182K in loans). 

Solution number one is to finance your debts through a private lender. This could provide you with a lower interest rate, but you’ll have to pre-qualify first via few factors, including your credit as well as your current income. Solution number two is to consider working for an organization in a state that offers a student loan assistance program. Though it varies by area, certain states can knock away a considerable piece of those loans in just a few years. In Texas, the Physician Education Loan Repayment Program offers up to $160K for over four years of practice in a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA). In New York, Doctors Across New York provides an additional payment of up to $150K over a five-year commitment to doctors practicing in underserved areas.

The student loan forgiveness state programs are a valuable resource, and should be taken into serious consideration when deciding on a destination and facility of choice. Perhaps you’re thinking of immediate relief, or more of a short-term solution. To be honest, that is not really feasible with $200K in debt. But, when negotiating your “dream” role, it is important to use that as an opportunity to obtain a possible sign-on bonus as well as relocation assistance to help ease the burden, at least temporarily. Keeping a positive mind-set, and considering all possible solutions, can help you achieve your goals of financial growth and stability as a physician.

What is Digital Marketing & How Can it Help Recruit Physicians?

When asked if they’ve “gone digital,” many companies will say, “Of course. We have a website, a Facebook page, and we send email campaigns!” While this kind of online presence is important, digital marketing consists of much, much more. 

Digital Marketing is an action. And not just a single action, but an ongoing, evolving action that empowers you to spend your marketing dollars as efficiently as possible. The first step is putting a piece of content online. What transforms this into digital marketing is the data.

Imagine you see an online job posting. You’re pleased with your current employer, but if a better opportunity presented itself, you’d be interested. In this case, you see a job with a great company and it would cut your commute time in half. You click on the listing, quickly scan it over, make a mental note to return to it later, and move on with your day. 

We all know what happens next: you completely forget you ever saw it. We all see thousands of ads per day. The odds of your one ad being remembered are slim. This is where digital marketing steps in. Remember the job listing you clicked on and forgot about? Since you engaged with the ad, you’ll eventually see a similar ad again. 

This retargeting empowers the workforce to see those jobs they are most interested in and inform themselves about the employer. It also empowers your organization to engage with candidates who have a strong interest in your opportunity.

How To Avoid Being a Job Hopper

As a physician or advanced practitioner, there are opportunities all over that can expand your experience and your skills, but when it comes to the best time to move from one job to the next is tricky. Everyone’s situation is somewhat the same in one way or another; the specialty isn’t what they expected or the facility wasn’t the right environment for them. Things happen, and wanting to change them for the better is completely understandable; but when it comes to consistently changing jobs year after year, that could potentially ruin your chances in obtaining your “perfect job.”

Before transitioning from one position to the next, ask yourself this: How long have I worked at this facility and how long was I at my previous job?

  • If your employment list is short, or you have worked at a facility for a couple years or more, the chances of being seen as a job-hopper is slim.
  • If you have worked with several employers, and have only been at each for a year or less, that may bring up concerns from future employers.
  • If you have worked with your current employer for a year or less, identify your reason for wanting a change.

Ask yourself why this position is not working out for you, is it because of salary, hours, or location? What position are you wanting to transition into and why? Carrying on from why you are leaving your previous position for another; what are you seeking to improve or gain more experience in?

Hopefully by identifying your job history and maintaining a balance when transitioning from one job to another, you should have no problem in avoiding job-hopping.
