Featured Physician Candidates
PhysicianRecruitment.com showcases vetted physician candidates actively seeking new opportunities across every specialty and all 50 states. Each candidate has been screened by our recruiter team for board status, malpractice history, references, and personal fit before being featured. All candidate identities are confidential. Full details shared only with verified employers.
Featured candidates represent a small subset of the more than one million physicians in our active database. They are physicians who have explicitly authorized us to surface their availability — often because they are in a competitive specialty, have a tight relocation window, or are seeking a specific practice setting (academic, hospital-employed, partnership-track, telehealth, or rural).
How to Engage a Featured Physician
- Identify candidates of interest: Review the candidate categories and confidential profiles on the live page. Each profile lists specialty, board status, training, geographic flex, and target start window — without disclosing the physician's name or current employer.
- Verify your organization: Contact our recruiter team at hire@physicianrecruitment.com or 1-888-812-3452. We verify employer identity and confirm an open position before sharing candidate details.
- Receive full candidate details: Once verified, we share the physician's CV, board status, references, and any specific compensation or location requirements they have communicated.
- Coordinate the interview: We schedule the phone screen, virtual interview, and on-site visit, and manage spousal logistics and competing-offer situations in real time.
- Offer and contract: We support offer structure, market-rate benchmarking, contract review coordination, and credentialing handoff through start date.
Why These Physicians Are Special
Featured candidates are not random applicants. They are physicians our recruiter team has worked with directly — sometimes for years — and whose availability we can confirm in real time. Many are passive candidates who would not respond to a generic outreach but have agreed to be considered for the right opportunity. Others are board-eligible residents and fellows in their final year of training, with a defined start window and geographic preference.
We feature candidates only after confirming their interest, verifying credentials, and aligning on what they are looking for. That means the time from employer-introduction to signed offer is typically much shorter than a cold-source search — often 60 to 90 days for featured candidates versus 90 to 150 days for a fresh retained search.

Candidate Confidentiality Policy
Physician confidentiality is the foundation of our business. We do not publish candidate names, current employers, current locations, or identifying CV details on any public page. Featured profiles describe specialty, board status, training, geographic flex, and target start window only.
Full candidate details — name, CV, references, current employer, compensation expectations — are shared exclusively with verified employers who have a confirmed open position and have signed our standard candidate-introduction terms. Physicians retain full control over which employers receive their information, and any introduction is approved by the candidate before it occurs.
FAQ
How do I see full candidate details?
Contact our recruiter team at hire@physicianrecruitment.com or 1-888-812-3452. We verify employer identity, confirm an open position, and share full candidate details once both sides authorize the introduction.
Are all featured candidates board certified?
Most featured candidates are board certified in their specialty. Final-year residents and fellows are board eligible with documented training and a defined certification window.
How quickly can a featured candidate start?
Start windows vary by candidate. Most featured physicians are 60 to 180 days from start, depending on credentialing, current contract obligations, and licensure. Some are immediately available; others have a defined target month.
Is there a fee to view featured candidates?
No fee to view candidate categories and confidential profiles. Standard placement fees (20-30% of first-year compensation) apply only on successful hire.
Can a candidate be removed if they're no longer available?
Yes. Featured candidates rotate continuously as physicians sign offers, change priorities, or enter new search windows. The live page reflects current availability.
Engagement Timelines for Featured Candidates
Featured physician searches typically close significantly faster than cold-source retained searches because we already know the candidate, have screened credentials, and have aligned on what they are looking for. Typical engagement timeline: employer verification and candidate-introduction approval (1-3 days), CV and reference release (same day after approval), first interview (within 7-14 days), site visit (within 21-28 days), offer (within 35-45 days), signed contract (within 50-70 days), credentialing and start (60-150 days from signed contract, depending on state and facility). Many featured-candidate placements close in 60 to 90 days from first introduction to signed offer.
Match Philosophy
Featured candidates are matched to employers, not pushed to them. Before any introduction, our recruiter team reviews the position requirements (specialty, location, compensation model, call burden, practice setting, call coverage, EHR, partnership track, academic affiliation) against the candidate's stated priorities. Only when both sides are a strong match — typically 4 of 5 priority dimensions or stronger — do we recommend an introduction. This protects candidate time, employer time, and the integrity of the engagement.
Working with Residents and Fellows
A significant share of featured candidates are board-eligible residents and fellows in their final year of training. They typically have a defined start window (July of the upcoming year, occasionally August or September), a defined geographic preference (often dictated by partner career or family geography), and clear practice-setting goals (academic, hospital-employed, partnership-track, locum-bridge). We work with residency and fellowship program directors across the country and surface these candidates 6 to 12 months before their training completion date.
