Why aren’t more physicians responding to my emails?

It is important to understand the difference between eMatchPhysicians and other websites.  The concept of matching is strange enough to wrap our heads around, but even stranger is the concept that less is more.  Compare contingency firms to retained firms. Retained search firms weed out candidates by gathering and sharing a wealth of information, while contingent firms forward every candidate who is remotely interested hoping one sticks.  Our matching technology functions similarly to retained firms.  We provide you with a superior level of service meant to free your time.  We gather enough information to narrow the jobs for physicians and narrow the candidates for each hiring organization. 

On the contrary, competing websites and journals advertise your opportunity and generate as many candidates as possible who may be a fit based on one or two criteria.  It is your job to then narrow those candidates. This can be overwhelming with all of the other responsibilities you hold.  In-house recruiters spend so much time with the wrong physicians, they do not have enough time to focus on the best candidates.

We encourage you to contact as many physicians as you feel are qualified on eMatchPhysicians – that is the first step.  The next step is for them to review your opportunity and decide if the feeling is mutual.  They have shared with us that they get contacted about too many opportunities to respond to every one, however you can be sure they will respond to the right opportunity.  They continue to thank us for our service which reduces the time and frustration created by other websites. We recommend you gain exposure by being proactive and showing interest by emailing candidates.  From there, the physicians who respond are going to be the best suited for your location.  It’s simply a numbers game.
