Revamp Your Playbook with Recruitment Workflow Templates
Physician Recruitment Workflow Templates
In a previous blog post, we talked about the importance of developing a physician recruitment playbook based on key milestones within your organization’s recruitment process. By outlining your process and expectations across each stage in the recruitment workflow, you can map out and track performance. This approach helps coach your team to fill vacancies, minimize days to fill, and strengthen retention efforts.
Marketware’s Recruitment Platform was designed to be a user-friendly applicant tracking system that teams can use to visualize and refine their processes over time. The flexible physician recruitment workflow templates allowed my team to revisit the stages of our recruitment process. We were able to confirm which specific activities need to be completed and use the templates as an ideal timeline for completing tasks as candidates move through each stage of the process.
Create a Default Physician Recruitment Workflow
We can design multiple workflows to fit your organization’s needs. However, the default physician recruitment workflow intentionally picks up the moment a lead is presented by a source. It then considers a lead based on how well it matches the practice opportunity criteria. Our team created the default stages that our workflow would include by identifying the 4 natural milestones that indicate a candidate is advancing through the recruitment process.
Recommended Stages of the Default Recruitment Workflow →
1. Candidate Screening
When we begin the process of screening the candidate.
2. Onsite Visit
When we offer an onsite visit.
3. Contracting
When we offer a contract.
4. Initiate Onboarding
When a signed contract is fully executed.
Create Automated Activities for Each Stage of Your Recruitment Workflow
After creating the four buckets, our team identified the key tasks for each stage and determined the required order or timeframe to meet our days-to-fill targets. As a result, this collaborative approach streamlined the process and effectively aligned tasks with our objectives. Additionally, by working together, we ensured that the workflow was optimized to meet both efficiency and target goals. This further reinforced the ability to manage recruitment and minimize delays.

Link Practice Opportunities to a Workflow Template
Given the shortage of providers across the specialties we are targeting, we know other organizations are reaching out to the same candidates. As a result, timing becomes crucial for demonstrating interest and staying top of mind. Therefore, it can be helpful to have an applicant tracking system that automatically assigns related tasks based on the timeline as candidates progress through each stage. This ensures that every step aligns with the urgency of the situation and helps maintain momentum throughout the recruitment process. The system assigns tasks only when candidates advance to the next stage, minimizing unnecessary tasks and saving time. This reduces the need for skipping or manually creating extra tasks, streamlining the process, and improving efficiency for users.
Relevant candidates are added to the tracking tool and assigned to the appropriate practice opportunity as they are identified or presented. This opportunity is then linked to a recruitment workflow template for better organization and follow-through.

Monitor Recruitment Workflow Success & Make Adjustments with Reports
Reporting helps teams track task completion rates and monitor how long candidates stay in each stage, providing insights for process optimization. Additionally, these measurements help track your team’s success, identify process adjustments, and reduce days to fill over time. By doing so, you can continuously improve efficiency and achieve better recruitment outcomes.
