About NCHCR

NCHCR was formed in March 2005 recognizing the fact that the Independent Healthcare Recruiters needed an exclusive Coalition to provide them with the resources larger corporations utilize. In addition to the historical activities of recruiters, the Independent Physician Recruiter meets specific needs the In-House recruiter cannot. These include assisting candidates with anonymous searches and representing clients for proprietary opportunities they do not want to publicly conduct.

By banding together NCHCR members represent a significant recruiting presence in the industry. As a group, we share common strengths and long term relationships with both our clients and physicians. NCHCR promotes the fact that the Independent Physician Recruiter plays a critical role in the Physician market, both permanent & locum. This is daily evidenced through participation on our nationally advertised job board, split rich networking environment, locum placement service, co-op programs, and adherence to a high ethical business standards and recruiting protocols.

Experienced physicians elect to seek out new opportunities at predictable points in their careers. They are busy in their practices and need someone who will confidentially find opportunities, discuss them with the physician, and submit their CV on a facility-by-facility basis. Frustrated resident and fellowship candidates often align with our service once they realize we know how to find the opportunity they are looking for. Both groups of physicians place themselves in a position one person removed from the In-house recruiter. That person is the Independent Recruiter. We offer a service larger firms often fail to provide.

NCHCR maintains an exclusive job board solely for member Independent Healthcare Recruiters.

NCHCR addresses the entire Healthcare Recruiting Industry through a joint relationship with their sister association The American Coalition of Healthcare Recruiters. ACHCR services all non-physician healthcare opportunities and candidates.
