A second approach is to advertise in local newspapers and trade journals. There is a cost involved in placing the advertisements, and unless you have someone to assist you, you will need to spend time screening the resumes that are sent in response. If you are hiring an office manager or administrator or some other high-level position, you will want to perform the screening yourself, or hire an outside consultant to handle it. Another approach is to work with an employee placement agency that specializes in medical practices. At the outset, this may seem like an expensive option.
Agencies usually charge a fee for successfully identifying a candidate.
This may be a flat fee, or represent a percentage of the new hire's annual salary. Your local professional organization can direct you to reputable agencies in your area. There are several Web sites devoted to listing positions for medical professionals. Some of these allow job postings at no charge, while others may have a fee. Again, either contact your professional organization or search the Web for appropriate sites.
