Volume 2 Issue I The Value of Provider Candidate Sourcing The shifting healthcare economy puts focus on value. There is no better way to achieve value in physician and advanced practice provider recruitment than candidate sourcing. Some organizations realize savings up to 60% or more compared to traditional retained and contingency search models. What is Candidate Sourcing? Candidate sourcing is the process of identifying providers who meet your recruitment specifications. Candidate sourcing can be a tedious and time-consuming process which includes telephone calls, individual and broadcast e-mailing, Internet job board postings, direct mail, advertising and networking. Sourcing for quality candidates can account for 50–60% of the overall effort to fill a provider position. How Would My Organization Benefit from Candidate Sourcing Services? If you need screened and qualified candidates to meet your provider recruitment goals, candidate sourcing warrants consideration. Organizations with an in-house provider recruitment department may have staff spending much of their time sourcing candidates rather than managing the interview, site visit, due diligence, contract, and onboarding activities. Organizations relying on recruitment assistance from provider search firms will find value in candidate sourcing by paying only for the services they need. How Do I Evaluate Candidate Sourcing Services? Be sure you understand what sourcing activities will take place on your behalf. These should be clearly outlined in the sourcing agreement. Will the search firm interview and screen the candidates? Will they send a written presentation with the provider's CV or resumé? Or, will they simply send a list of unscreened candidates with names and telephone numbers for you to contact? Search firms typically bill a modest monthly fee to source candidates and it is important you receive the best value for the investment. You should understand the length of the agreement and whether you can hire more than one candidate in the same specialty without paying success/placement fees.
