About NCHCR

NCHCR was formed in March 2005.  Independent recruiters needed an exclusive Coalition effort to provide them with the resources larger corporations utilize.  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.  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 standard. 

NCHCR is promoting the fact that independent physician recruiters play a critical role in the physician placement market (permanent & locum.)    In addition to historical activities of recruiters, the independent physician recruiter meets a need the In-House recruiter cannot. 

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.  Healthcare facilities are not allowed to post jobs, but are allowed to see physician profiles (not CVs.)  If they see the profile of a physician they are interested in, they must contact the independent recruiter who is representing the physician.  A contingency contract will be initiated with the recruiter who profiled the physician (not NCHCR) at the time an In-house recruiter finds a physician they desire to review as a candidate.
