Physician Recruitment and Staffing

DocCafe hosts over 100,000 registered physician job seekers who are ready to support your staffing needs. We understand that the need for qualified providers has a cascading effect on healthcare in the U.S. That’s why we’re committed to making the physician recruitment process easy — our extensive database connects you with physicians who are actively seeking permanent, part-time or locum tenens roles.

Our exclusive Match Jobs to Candidates feature uses personalized algorithms to find the right physician placement.

The physician drought

Physician hiring and recruitment has become increasingly difficult for healthcare organizations. Recent reports show that the U.S. is facing a projected shortage of between 37,800 and 124,000 physicians within 12 years. Physician shortages will make it all the more challenging for people to access quality health care — especially in systematically disadvantaged populations and areas, where disparities in health and access to care are particularly acute.

Many people are currently feeling the effects of these shortages, especially when it takes weeks or months to see a cardiologist, GI specialist or other specialized practitioner.

Extensive time-to-hire

Both physician recruitment and hiring are lengthy processes. According to the AAPPR 2022 Benchmarking Survey, it can take 103 days to fill the typical physician search. The hard and soft costs of recruitment, start-up and lost revenue can total more than $1 million per physician vacancy annualized. With an increased amount of time to fill for physician positions and increased cost per vacancy, physician recruitment has never been more challenging. But at DocCafe, we’re working to make the process easier.

DocCafe receives over 20,000 monthly physician job applications — and with customizable alerts, you’ll get notified whenever a job seeker that matches your search criteria registers on the site. This puts the control back into your hands with increased assurance of finding qualified physicians faster.

Engage with candidates directly on DocCafe and streamline the recruitment and staffing process.
