A common trap that doctors fall into is feeling pressure to sign contracts within a certain timeframe because of employer’s demands. Doctors end up believing that if they don't sign the contract right away, the offer might get pulled by the employer. The reality is, the pressure from employers is artificial. Employers want to fill the open position quickly, but that sense of urgency is rarely justified. I always advise my clients to ask for more time to review the contract. Employers have NEVER declined my doctors’ requests for more time, up to 6 weeks in some cases, to review the contract. If doctors understood that negotiating a contract is an expected part of the process, maybe they wouldn’t be so thirsty to sign bad contracts. #contractnegotiation #doctors

Let’s Talk About Agency Myths in Healthcare Staffing 🏥✨ After busting some recruiter myths yesterday, I realized it’s time to address another big topic: agency myths. There’s a lot of misunderstanding out there about what staffing agencies do, so let’s clear up some of the big misconceptions! 👇 Myth 1: “Agencies only care about profits.” 💡 Truth: A good agency knows that its success depends on the happiness and success of its clinicians. The best agencies invest in their people—offering support, competitive pay packages, and a genuine focus on well-being. Myth 2: “Agencies only focus on nurses.” 🙅♀️ Truth: While nurses are a huge part of healthcare staffing, agencies also work with allied health professionals, surgical techs, sterile processing pros, and more. Healthcare is a team effort, and so is staffing! Myth 3: “All agencies are the same.” 🚨 Truth: Agencies differ significantly in culture, support, benefits, and values. Some prioritize a personalized approach, while others take a one-size-fits-all route. Do your homework and find an agency that aligns with your goals and values. Myth 4: “Agencies don’t care about long-term relationships.” 🤝 Truth: A great agency doesn’t just want to fill one contract—they want to support your career. Strong agencies build lasting relationships with their clinicians by being transparent, reliable, and always putting their people first. Myth 5: “You don’t need an agency to travel.” 🌎 Truth: Sure, you could try going it alone, but agencies provide so much more than just job placement. From housing assistance to compliance help, benefits, and advocacy during your contract, agencies simplify the process so you can focus on patient care. Working in healthcare is challenging enough—choosing the right agency shouldn’t add more stress! Whether it’s offering 24/7 support, tackling licensing headaches, or advocating for fair contracts, a good agency is your partner in success. What agency myths have you encountered? Or what do you value most in an agency? Drop your thoughts in the comments! 💬 #HealthcareStaffing #AgencyMyths #TravelNursing #AlliedHealth #RecruiterLife #TransparencyMatters #BuildingTrust

Many hospitals and clinics often ignore new medical employees or hire them with cheap salaries because they think they don’t know much yet 🤷♂️ and are just starting their careers. But the reality is some new employees work hard 📈 with smartness and prove they’re just as good . Once you find the potential to increase their salary according to their level As a consultant, my advice is, when hiring, to remember to look at what someone can really do, not just their degrees 🎓 or past jobs. Fresh ideas are important, too! #jobs #medicalcarrier #hospitalstaffs

Recruiting: Recruiting top talent for your growing medical practice is a time-consuming and often frustrating pursuit. Finding the right medical and administrative staff to fit your needs can feel like a full time job in and of itself. Being slow to hire and quick to fire will help ensure you find the best possible candidates who are the most likely to stay with your practice long-term. If your budget allows, consider outsourcing your recruiting needs to a qualified recruiter. Make sure the recruiter or staffing firm understands the unique needs of your practice, as well as the specific qualities you value in your employees. A recruiter will save you hours of time sifting through resumes and scheduling interviews. By the time you’re ready to meet the top candidates, they’ll have been vetted by the recruiter and are far more likely to exceed your expectations. Finally, be sure to clarify those qualities that are important to you beyond training, education, and experience. An important part of recruiting is finding employees who’ll complement your company culture.
