"Our TeleMatch Coordinator has been great to work with, and I appreciate the follow-up. We had more contacts with her than from any other firm!"

"The approach is refreshing and was very much appreciated. I will definitely contact PracticeMatch with all of my future permanent physician needs."

"I think the conference that PracticeMatch puts on is excellent. We've enjoyed coming to it. This is my second year. I think the tie with ASPR is excellent. I've been able to have several takeaways from every meeting I've been to. I encourage other people to attend as well."

"Using the PracticeMatch software, my favorite feature is Pinpoint Search. As somebody who recruits rural physicians, I find myself going in there a lot and finding people who have ties to rural Minnesota or just Minnesota in general. It's an area that is not difficult to recruit to, but you're definitely looking for a specific person who knows what the community and lifestyle is like there. It definitely helps me to narrow down my search so that I'm not searching through thousands of candidates who have absolutely no interest in practicing rural medicine."

"I have been a client of PracticeMatch since it's inception, and believe that it is still the most comprehensive database available in the physician recruiting industry. The information is accurate and more comprehensive than any other database I have used. I would feel lost without it! This company strives to stay abreast of the latest in technology to bring improve and expand its services. They have always sought to get feedback from clients in order to implement changes and additions to their product line. Their approach always seems to be very well thought out. I have used the Telematch service numerous times and successfully recruited physicians via this method. I also use the MedTies service regularly for direct mail lists and have found that the rate of returned mail is dramatically less than those lists purchased through other vendors. The PracticeMatch employees are always courteous, helpful and professional, and a sincere pleasure to work with. They are always ready to help educate clients so that they are able to fully understand and utilize every feature of the system for maximum effectiveness. I highly recommend PracticeMatch to anyone who is considering becoming a client!"

"Candidates e-mail me every day about jobs I have posted on websites. I'll go and look on PracticeMatch and get everything I can about that doctor. A lot of times I find out that there is a long list of things I need to find out from him that I would have had to spend a lot of time researching myself had it not been for the information I found on PracticeMatch."

"Ever since PracticeMatch added the MedTies portion to the database, we have not used any outside mailing list service at all. We totally get it from PracticeMatch, and the cost is so much more efficient."

"I do searches on the other databases, and I don't turn up very many leads. I get so many more leads to work with from the PracticeMatch database than what I'd get from others."

"I think PracticeMatch is so much more cost effective than using outside, retained types of services. They know what they're doing, they know how to do it, and they're very good at it."

"I would tell anyone considering using PracticeMatch Custom Sourcing that this is your best, first option. Try this before you try anything else."

"It's a great time saver for me because I have almost 30 hospitals to recruit for. And so when I have a very difficult search, it's very cost effective and time effective for me to have help from PracticeMatch with the custom sourcing search."

"It's been very cost effective, and the CEO's are pleased with it. So, we are going to continue to use it."

"It's just probably the most comprehensive source that's out there right now, and well worth the money."

"The people at PracticeMatch have so much better access to find candidates for you, and the effort they put forth on your behalf is just not going to be matched."

"The sourcing director that I work with at PracticeMatch is very knowledgeable. She asks the right questions, and she is in constant contact with me to let me know what is going on so that I stay updated, and I can keep my hospitals updated."

"The sourcing directors that I have worked with at PracticeMatch do their homework. They know about the hospital before I ever call them. Even if they've never worked with me on that particular hospital before, when I call them to begin talking about the search, they have been on the hospital's website and on the community's website. They've learned about the location, what is there, and what is good about the community. Then we talk, and we come up with our selling points, our attractive points about the job, the community, and the hospital. They're very good at selling these to the candidates."

"You control the hours. You control whether or not mailings are done. You control just as much of the search as you want."

"PracticeMatch is pretty important in achieving my day-to-day goals, because I don't just use PracticeMatch for sourcing. I also use it as my main tracking system. PracticeMatch is essential in tracking costs, checking to see which candidates have recieved emails, phone calls, contracts, and who has come for a site visit. In this way, we can report back to the private practices that we also recruit for and also keep track of our goals."

"We have been using PracticeMatch for a couple of years now. Not only has PracticeMatch increased the number of candidates for us to reach, their contact information is complete and correct, which is important. We use PracticeMatch for our candidate tracking process as well since the program produces very usable reports. We can now track expenses as well as how many postcards we mailed and phone calls we made etc. The support staff is nothing short of excellent; our questions are answered, our suggestions noted, our concerns taken care of in a timely fashion. Top-notch customer service!"

"When I talk to my colleagues about PracticeMatch, not only do I tell them that they will receive excellent customer service, but also that they will have a comprehensive physician database at their fingertips that they can customize. It's very easy to create reports, mass emails, and create mailing lists for flyers and postcards. It was definitely worth the investment."

"We have hired eight new doctors in the lasy seven months with contracts out to three more. Half of these doctors came from the PracticeMatch database."

"With the 'working candidate report,' it's very easy for me to keep track of where I am with each of the doctors I'm working with."

"I have worked with PracticeMatch on several occasions and have been impressed with their friendliness and professionalism. They took a great deal of time exploring my skills and interests as a hospitalist in order to create the best fit for myself and their client. At my assigned hospital, there were no "surprises," and I was able to fit in quickly having been prepared ahead of time for the tasks required. PracticeMatch went the extra distance by contacting me the day after I started to see if I had any problems or concerns. The fact that I was invited back to the same hospital on several occasions indicated that this was indeed a good "match." I have had an opportunity to work with several companies as a locum tenens physician and consider PracticeMatch to be among the finest organizations in the field."

"We enjoy working with the physician opportunity board where we can post all of our jobs. It doesn't matter how many we have - all specialties. We have a lot of physicians responding to the postings that we have out there."

"We're able to look up physicians that we're trying to find, and then we send them mass emails, we send them postcards, we send them all sorts of information about our opportunities that we have out there. That's been a great time saver to have all the specialties together, as well as a money saver so that we don't have to purchase the different lists of residents from other companies."

"One of the ways that I use Medties is that I'll be given a physician's last name and a place that he is currently practicing, and they'll ask me to reach out to that individual to see if they are either interested in coming back to North Dakota or interested in a change. It's great because I can go in there and input just a few of the pieces of information that I have and gather all the information like where they've been licensed, where they went to school, or what their current contact information is. That's very helpful."

"Utilizing the PracticeMatch software, my favorite feature is the MedTies option. When I'm presented a CV for a candidate, it is a great way to check into their background and make sure that their license and their history all equals what their CV says. It's a helpful background checking tool for me."

"What I like about the conference is we get to go to excellent locations that are a lot of fun and learn some very valuable information. And, it's a great way to network with other physician recruiters as well. I've met some really great people here, and picked up some business cards of people that I can reach out to in the future. So, that's nice."

"We had a great experience working with PracticeMatch! I would recommend this service to others."

"When we signed up for PracticeMatch a year ago, we really wanted to give it a year to try it, see how it was going to work for us, and whether it was user friendly. When we were close to the end of our first year agreement with them, our team really came together to say, 'We want to continue with this product.' We've signed up for two more years and look forward to continuing to work with the staff at PracticeMatch."

"When hired as the Director of Physician Services at St. Mary's Hospital to develop their physician recruitment plan, my first order of business was to introduce the concept of utilizing PracticeMatch as an innovative method for sourcing and hiring physicians that I had previously had success with as a client. The PracticeMatch team visited St. Mary's Hospital in Leonardtown, Maryland, made a comprehensive presentation to our President and CEO as well as other key members of our Admin team, and we began utilizing PracticeMatch immediately.  Since that time in late 2007, we have been successful in utilizing PracticeMatch in scheduling several interviews and successfully signing at least two new candidates in difficult searches including Psychiatry and Gastroenterology.  The PracticeMatch client representatives, training staff, and their IT team, made it easy to develop attractive looking opportunities that attracted many of the candidates to our jobs.  The advancing of their technology to include webinars, broadcast e-mails, development of databases, and the regular updating of the databases combined with the successful track record we have experienced, has made the decision an easy one to include PracticeMatch as part of our recruiting budget, as a valuable and cost-effective recruiting tool."

"Today, I couldn't be more pleased with PracticeMatch. It is a wonderful resource that allows a doctor to find me and for me to find a specific doctor. When the ability to find each other works as well as this, we have a great company to partner with. The training provided can not be beat by any of the other website organizations that I have seen. Kudos to PracticeMatch for making an in-house recruiting person's a bit less stressful."

"I have found that my consultant with PracticeMatch Locum Tenens has set the bar very high! She expresses a deep interest in meeting my organization’s specific needs and communicates with me throughout the entire process. Her determination and attention to detail are coupled with comprehensive candidate presentations, which I feel are the cornerstones of timely, successful placements. I feel like I am her only client and she is always one step ahead of me! I would recommend PracticeMatch Locum Tenens for any locums assignment for any organization or group."

"I've been wildly successful with PracticeMatch. I believe my facility has benefited quite tremendously with us utilizing PracticeMatch."

"It's been very successful. We've recruited in six months, twelve physicians, and six of those physicians have come from PracticeMatch. Those particular physicians were faster recruits."

"So with that information that you find on PracticeMatch and looking at the individual physician names and your pinpoints, you're able to go in with a warm call versus a cold call. And, you can build a friendship with your first telephone call or first e-mail."

"With PracticeMatch, you are able to pinpoint your particular candidates state by state or by what they are looking for (warm climate, etc.), and you can find candidates that you almost automatically know will be interested in either your community, or your facility, or both."

"As the recruitment manager for Dreyer Medical Clinic in Aurora, IL, I have the sometimes daunting task of filling up to 30 physician openings a year. Recruitment has become exceptionally competitive, and I make certain that our dollars are well spent on effective, measurable methods. My team diligently tracks our placement success rates and we have proved that, over time, the money we spend with PracticeMatch saves us money. In fact, PracticeMatch has paid for itself over the years with its superior services, including updated profiles with current information; the ability to hone in on specific criteria; and a user-friendly interface to work with the database. Real-time information and attentive customer service also impact the bottom line. It’s not unusual for me to contact a candidate by noon from a customer service alert sent from PracticeMatch that morning. Are there other options? You bet. Recent economic pressures have taken their toll on all of us and sent me looking for lower cost options. The old adage is true: You get what you pay for, and our recruiting results sadly reflected my attempt at frugality. I recommend that all recruiting departments set a budget then measure the results from every effort and investment. The bottom line--stick with methods that deliver results. For me, that means PracticeMatch, which has become an essential part of our success."

"Being a new recruiter in this industry, I was a little in shell shock initially. I'm in a new industry. I'm having to a learn a new software program in a new company. And I definitely felt coming in that learning PracticeMatch, the product being intuitive, was an easy part of my job."

"It's been a very enjoyable experience. It's a great opportunity to network and have some benchmarking conversations with some other recruiters from around the country and learn of new trends in the recruiting arena and in healthcare in general. So, it's been very good, very informative, and the ASPR Fellowship Program is also a very valuable experience as well."

"PracticeMatch is a great resource for residents and fellows and practicing physicians. It's definitely one of the best tools we have without any hesitation at all."

"PracticeMatch is a very instrumental tool in what we do to find quality candidates, pique their interest, and get them in town for site visits and interviews."

"The email system is top notch. You are able to see if candidates you have emailed have actually read your email and even if they have clicked on a hyperlink within the email. So, when you follow up with them you kind of have an inside track, I guess you could say. And, it's not a complete cold call, it's rather warm actually."

"The email system is very efficient. You are able to save your emails. You don't have to recreate the wheel when you're sending these blasts out. In finding the candidates, you can tailor it to pretty much anything very specific which is also valuable."

"I have utilized the PracticeMatch database for just over a year and have found it to be a tremendous resource for signing and building relationships with practitioners. The website has enabled me to locate and ink three physicians in the past year (a hospitalist and two anesthesiologists), which has saved our medical center for than $60K in recruiting fees. Additionally, thanks to PracticeMatch, several 2010 candidates are coming to visit soon. What makes PracticeMatch great is the fact that you can drill down the data with very specific search criteria. Looking for physicians particularly interested in your state? Done. How about residents from local medical schools? Done. I am a believer in PracticeMatch. They are committed to their product and serving their customers - both physicians and recruiters."

"Your teaching style is awesome! Thank you for all the great tips and tricks. I feel fully equipped to do my job better now!"

"Our Coordinator was very attentive and kept in touch every step of the way. She even helped improve my interviewing skills, tailoring them to the technological world we live in today, while helping me balance what I want with what the candidates are looking for!"

"I've used the MedTies feature the most. It allows us to go into the query engine and search for exactly what we need as far as surrounding states. We start with Oklahoma, and we do the surrounding states. If we need a primary care physician, we can click on Internal Medicine, and it immediately tells us how many there are. We can download it, and then from there do a mailing list. And, we can do mass mailings, our own direct mail, instead of having to pay a service for that."

"I know for a fact that we have hired anywhere from fifteen to twenty people directly from PracticeMatch or indirectly - somehow PracticeMatch has been involved."

"I know that I can always go to PracticeMatch. If we identify someone that we don't have a lot of information on, I know I can pull them up on PracticeMatch. That's the first thing that everyone says, 'Did you look them up on PracticeMatch?'"

"Love the staff. It's nice to see the PracticeMatch staff and put faces and names together and to visit with the staff that we don't usually get to see."

"Well, we're here in New Orleans at the PracticeMatch Conference, and we are thoroughly enjoying it. The speakers so far have been wonderful."

"At first I was somewhat reluctant to sign up for the TM Department, but weighing my options and no solid candidates, I decided to try it once and see how it went. I am impressed with the representative’s professionalism and dedication to my search. I received quite a few qualified candidate CVs and we just signed a physician that met all of our requirements through this service. I have to say it is well worth the fee, which is considerably less than if I went through a placement firm. Thank you for assisting in this recruitment effort and especially in record time."

"I don't think we would have been successful at all in bringing in the recruitments that we have in the last five years had we not had access to PracticeMatch and the database. It is the database that I, as the sole recruiter, do use at the hospital in order to source all the candidates that we have brought on board. And, we have been very successful in that process."

"Of all the agencies I work with, PracticeMatch is by far the best. I have found the communication with PracticeMatch to be c1ear, timely, and very professional. The candidates they present are well qualified and thoroughly screened. Many agencies are not consistent on their follow-up in the credentialing process, which can cause delays in coverage. PracticeMatch is the only agency I have worked with that excels in the credentialing process. When I have a locums need, PracticeMatch is the first agency I contact. I highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of a reliable, professional, and high quality agency."

"As the Director of Physician Recruitment for one of the nation’s largest health care systems, I am constantly searching for the best tools to facilitate success for our recruiting campaigns. I consider two things, cost and performance. Over the past 8 years of using PracticeMatch, I have found that there is no comparison with their line of physician recruiting products. Simply stated they have the largest and most reliable physician database I have found. Their integrated data tracking program provides a detailed physician information system which allows me to efficiently track all communications I make with physicians – ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks. It also lets me post directly to their Career Center, allowing me to and get our opportunities out there for free. The ongoing client support is exemplary - Education, training, and technical support were a pleasant surprise. They are always making sure that I understood exactly how everything worked and immediately solving any problems that I encountered, even if it was something that didn’t even involve their products. They quickly became an asset to our team. PracticeMatch has and continues to lead our profession by providing revisions or new programs to meet the changing demand of physician recruitment. The small expense of being a PracticeMatch client is far exceeded by the benefits of recruiting a doctor. Your new physician will not only meet the medical needs of your community but also generate new revenue for your facility. PracticeMatch pays for itself. When I first looked into PracticeMatch, I thought “How can I afford to use this?” But now, I think “How can I afford not to?” If you need physicians, I strongly recommend PracticeMatch, without any reservation! We successfully use it everyday."

"We do a large amount of direct mail. I'm a firm believer it still works. I think there are a lot of people who have thrown in the towel on that, and we're still doing it, and it's effective. The thing that impresses me about the product is the accuracy of the information we have. We can do a mailing of 2000 and seldom ever get anything that is turned back to us. So, it's a good product, it's clean, it's fresh, it's updated."

"Our Coordinator understands our needs and works hard to generate good leads - we always enjoy working with her as she is very professional and always updates me on the progress of the search. This is a wonderful service!"
