Here are a few tips for making the most of your experience working with a medical recruiter.

Think of your recruiter as a coach

Your recruiter is more than just someone to send you emails about job ads. Your recruiter is an expert in the trends involving your specialty field and knows about the needs, qualifications, and priorities that will make you a good fit in your potential position. They can help you with your resume, application questions, and can guide you through contract negotiations. You can also find helpful educational information that we share on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Treat your experience as a two-way relationship

The more feedback you give your recruiter about what you’re looking for, the better we can help you in finding a medical job that suits your preferences. You can respond to mass emails with feedback or check in regularly by calling your recruiter. Consistent follow-ups and check-ins are important when keeping your options up to date. Regularly visiting our website will also help as we have a full job board that’s regularly updated. You can also connect with your recruiter on LinkedIn or visit the Enterprise Medical Recruiting page on LinkedIn to see what we’re up to!

Know your values and keep your options open

You should gather a clear idea of what values you look for in an organization. This will help ensure you’re a good fit with the practice as you work towards your goals. Many candidates have set geographic preferences, but it’s also important to keep your options open. Many candidates reconsider their location when the right opportunity presents itself. Even if you’re unsure, it’s okay to gather more information from your recruiter to see what else a position has to offer.

Ask for constructive criticism

When you submit your medical resume or present yourself for an interview, your recruiter has a good idea of what the employer is looking for and can critique the information that you present. You might have missed mentioning a few opportunities or experiences, or you might be a good fit for the job in a way that you didn’t think of. Similarly, let us know how we’re doing.
