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. Database-first search — we start with MDSearch’s in-house physician database 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, database 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.

Selective by design.

Searches are accepted selectively, contributing to a high success rate and 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."
