Physician Recruiters Satisfying H1B and J1 Visa Candidates

Posted on: Friday, September 18, 2009

H1B Visa Candidates and J1 Visa Candidates have a hard enough time going through the process of gaining an H1B or J1 Visa, but then when it comes to their job search they are faced with an entirely new set of obstacles. Not only do they have to comply with visa laws and try to find a job within the allotted time, they have to find hiring organizations that are willing and able to sponsor them. That is very difficult via the internet – our number one source for information in the 21st century. Visa candidates often turn to the internet and are let down by physician job websites that do not specify which jobs sponsor visa candidates and which do not. Also, most organizations do not specify whether or not they will give sponsorship as part of their job ad. So the online search becomes very frustrating. We highly recommend that you add visa sponsorship to all of your job postings if you are willing and able to offer it. Further, if you are registered with eMatchPhysicians, you do not have to worry about visa candidates finding you. We offer a ‘sort by’ option for all of our users to view visa acceptable jobs or visa candidates.

Until now, many visa candidates have turned to third party recruitment firms who can quickly tell them which jobs and locations accept visa candidates. These third party recruiters are costly, not to the physician, to you, and currently, they are the number one resource residents and fellows have to narrow their job search. All you need to do in order to “cut out the middleman” is answer the question of whether or not you accept visa candidates in your eMatchPhysicians profile.

eMatchPhysicians asks the appropriate questions of our hiring organizations and our physicians upfront so we can serve this untapped market of medical minds for you. You can now search for them and they can search for you. H1-B Visa candidates come from all over the world; Europe, Canada, Australia, and Asia are just a few of the places. These physicians are highly motivated meaning they have often trained in their own country and then complete additional training in the U.S. Many have even practiced in their home country prior to coming to the U.S. for additional training. You can find some excellent candidates if you are open to this possibility. You still need to search and sort through visa candidates to find the right fit for your community and your medical staff, however, when you find that diamond in the rough, you may be pleasantly surprised with their strong work ethic and dedication to your organization. They are often thankful to have an organization willing to support them and will show that gratitude through hard work and compliance. Visa candidates know the true meaning of hard work because it took a lot of hard work for them to get to the United States to begin with, combined with additional training on top of that. Most have also studied English, vigorously, and are ready to hit the ground running with both their language and their medical skills.

If you are still undecided on whether or not you will sponsor H1-B or J-1 Visa Candidates, call us or e-mail us today for a phone consultation on what these Visa programs entail and the high qualifications of the physicians who are coming to the US with them.
