Why Physician Recruitment Data is Both Important & Imperative

Why Physician Recruitment Data? We talk to a lot of people, but it’s not often we hear from a physician recruiter or physician recruitment leader who has a passion for reporting. That being said, even though we know our recruitment teams don’t love (or really even like) reporting, we know that they understand the need for it. Physician recruiters need data and reporting to source, track, and effectively report, but the bigger challenge is often how to get started. Oftentimes, recruiters face too much or too little data, and sometimes even the wrong data.

Recruiters’ reporting needs are generally centered around the larger goals of the organization and the KPIs related to each department. While most goals ultimately focus on finance, the difference comes in determining what language money is presented and calculated in for your organization. Post-COVID, some teams and organizations may even be starting from scratch with goal setting.

So why do physician recruiters need data now & how can it help them? 

Physician recruitment data is imperative in showing which candidate sources are providing the best ROI and can help set a timeframe for how far in advance recruiters should start searching for candidates. Data can also help recruiters find best practice workflows to support improvement and help recruiters know how and where to spend their time to make their efforts as effective as possible. 

Many physician recruiters polled by Marketware in a recent webinar said they didn’t know where to find data or that they had access to it, but it was too cumbersome to use to prepare reports.

Data can be sourced and tracked in multiple places, including an applicant tracking system or recruiting solution, like Marketware. Other common sources, even within large health systems, can include Excel spreadsheets, calendar notes, and paper checklists.

Once recruiters or recruitment leaders gather data, they must learn how to use it effectively. Data helps define recruitment workflows and refine processes to improve the candidate experience. Additionally, it can generate reports and presentations that demonstrate recruiter ROI. These insights should also be integrated into regular conversations with organizational leaders to drive improvement.

Recruiting data should, at its core, allow recruiters to plan their work and work their plan.
