Active physician candidates & recruiting

Highlights

• Active physician candidates are ready to move, making them more responsive and significantly shortening time-to-hire.
• Traditional passive candidate strategies waste time and money, often delivering minimal return due to outdated or disengaged contacts.
• DocCafe connects you directly with motivated providers, helping you recruit faster and more efficiently.

When it comes to hiring physicians, not all candidates are created equal.  Active physician candidates are already in “job-search mode,” meaning they’re actively looking for their next job and are more likely to respond to your outreach.

What does that mean for you?

Faster hires

These candidates are ready to move quickly, making it easier to get them through the hiring process and onboard them faster.

Better responses

They’re actively looking for a job, so your messages don’t get lost in a sea of other opportunities. They want to hear from you. 

Smarter spending

Every outreach has a real chance to convert because these candidates are ready to move forward.

Why passive candidates aren’t enough

Now, let’s talk about the “P” word: passive candidates. These are the candidates who aren’t actively looking for a job but are sitting in databases or on job boards. They may be happy where they are or simply not interested in your opportunity.

While passive candidates can occasionally trickle into your pipeline, the reality is that it often takes sending thousands of emails, countless hours and hefty investments, all for minimal return.
