The Benefits of Working with a Medical Staffing Agency

Job hunting is not an easy task, especially not for those seeking a locum doctor job. From selecting the right community, town, hospital and area of specialisation, filling out all the correct paperwork and going through rounds of detailed interviews all before finally settling into the new placement can require a lot of effort from candidates. This is where medical recruiting agencies are a great help to make sure you have ticked all the boxes and have all the information before starting your next career adventure.

Our team can help pinpoint the perfect position, location and team to work with to ensure you get the most out of your next locum placement. We aim to take away the hassle that comes with the recruitment process. 

Amongst this there are many reasons people turn to medical recruitment agencies in Australia for assistance with their next move.

 

Medical Recruitment Agencies have a Strong Professional Network

Like most industries, securing a position in the medical industry can be very much about who you know. Medical recruitment agencies realise that recent graduates have spent a lot of time on studying to be the best they can be, and know they deserve the most suitable job to apply their newly found knowledge and learn and maximise this knowledge in practical settings to their full potential. 

Large players in the medical industry can be very specific about who they hire, and it can be very difficult to get your name out there or in touch with the right people. Most of the time, medical professionals who come with the highest recommendations are the ones who stand out and are chosen. 

Having the right connections to secure a medical job is no easy feat for a recent student with limited experience. This is where one of the advantages of working with a hospital staffing agency can assist, as they already know the ins and outs of the industry, have connections and relationships with those inside the hospitals and work to recruit top talent for those in which they hold a professional connection with. 

A recruiters main job is to know key people within an industry and maintain these connections for their clients. So when a medical practitioner enlists the services of a recruitment agency, they receive the assistance needed when searching for their next permanent or locum job. 

For those with pre-existing work with the agency network, medical staff have their foot in the door to use the recruitment agencies relationship for a chance at some of the most prestigious medical facilities across Australia. 

 

Guaranteed Higher Success Rate

In a very competitive industry, there are a lot of doctors and not enough vacancies to be filled. Finding a job in the medical profession can require commitment and effort, from researching the perfect placement for you, the right working environment to suit your need, and negotiating the system can chew up a lot of time. 

Recruitment agencies are quite popular for medical staff as time is generally of the essence and doctors are looking to achieve as many offers as possible in a short amount of time to have the best selection to choose from. When doctors can’t afford the time for looking for a job, they partner with a medical recruitment agency to speed up the process, get more offers and therefore have more options to choose from and more opportunity at landing the ideal placement.

Due to this, doctors that go through a recruitment agency have a higher chance of being accepted into some of the most reputable hospitals and facilities, due to the relationship that these agencies have. Recruitment agencies offer efficiency, opportunities that may have been otherwise unobtainable and peace of mind that the most amount of worthy options will be offered to the job seeker. 

 

Recruiters understand hospital cultures

Medical recruitment companies have an in-depth knowledge of the industry in which their clients work. Most doctors choose to work with these types of recruitment companies because they understand the hospital cultures, have relationships and connections with staff within similar positions already and have a great understanding of the roles and capabilities needed. Doctors often have a strong focus on finding a job in a hospital that is a cultural fit for what they are looking for. 

Aside from their vast networking capabilities within the medical industry, recruiters also have a keen understanding of what will best suit certain types of doctors, personalities, beliefs and approaches, meaning the professional and office cultural needs of job seekers are being met. 

 

Recruiters provide a convenient solution for relocation

When relocating, recruitment agencies often give doctors more peace of mind when they choose to relocate, as the main concern when making this decision is that they won’t be able to find a job fast enough. In many other industries jobs can be applied for online, but medical doctor jobs don’t come by that easily. Medical professionals generally prefer to have a job lined up and ready for them before they decide to relocate, and the best way of offering this security of finding a job faster is through a medical recruitment agency. 

As the medical industry is highly competitive due to the increased demand for medical professionals, recruitment agencies can help to ensure doctors secure the right job for them prior to making a commitment to the next career move. 

Recruitment agencies are also a great solution for foreign medical professionals looking to move into an unfamiliar system. Australia is one of the top destinations for international professionals to immigrate to, and with a need to have a secure job a recruitment agency can take the stress out of finding the perfect job  so they can receive a work permit and fund their stay. Agencies can assist with job application, with full support in selecting the right hospital environment and making the transition into their new placement.
