How we work // mdsearch.ca/our-recruitment-process/

Our Physician Recruitment Process.

Licensing requirements, regional shortages, competitive offers, and shifting workforce trends all influence the success of a search. MDSearch follows a structured recruitment process built on experience, market insight, and transparency.

The search, start to finish
  1. Custom campaign, never a template — every employer receives a recruitment campaign built around your priorities, not generic job-board blasts.
  2. Network-first search — we start with MDSearch’s practitioner network built over two decades, combined with direct calling, targeted social outreach, professional networking, and physician community channels.
  3. Polished promotion — your opportunity goes out through social stories, email outreach, network alerts, and targeted broadcasts. Candidates don’t just see a job post — they see a campaign.
  4. Rigorous screening — candidates are screened for experience, licensing eligibility, credentials, cultural fit, relocation readiness, and long-term alignment.
  5. Reporting through onboarding — on-demand reporting, transparent updates, and concierge support through interviews, decision-making, site visits, and onboarding.
What makes it work

The strongest physicians aren't applying. We reach them anyway.

No black box.

Every search includes a shared dashboard showing outreach, responses, screening progress, and interviews. No guesswork.

Local first, scaled as needed.

We start in your market, where candidates are already licensed and can start soonest. When the local pool is genuinely thin, we widen to national and then international — but only where licensing, immigration and timing support a credible route.

Selective by design.

Searches are accepted selectively, contributing to strong year-over-year retention driven largely by referrals and repeat employers.

"Our recruitment process is built around long-term partnerships rather than one-off placements. Many searches evolve into multi-year engagements."
