The way you interact and follow up with clinicians during recruitment can make or break a connection. During initial outreach, email exchanges on Talent Finder are often your only touchpoint, so how you follow up can set you apart from other recruiters.
Our expert Client Success Team at Doximity Talent Finder shared their best practices for following up with clinicians. Check them out below:
Respond promptly. Following up quickly demonstrates organization, respect for the clinician’s time, and genuine interest in them for the role.
Provide all contact information. Include your office number, cell, and email. Clinicians have different communication preferences, so offering multiple options increases the likelihood of a response.
Reply to non-interested clinicians. Even if a clinician isn’t interested now, maintaining contact keeps the door open for future opportunities.
Ask non-interested clinicians for referrals. They may know colleagues who would be a better fit, turning a “no” into a valuable network connection.
Highlight other career opportunities. Always include a link to your organization’s Career Page so clinicians can explore roles beyond the one you initially shared.
Leverage all contact info provided. If a clinician includes a phone number or email in a DocMail reply, they’re open to being contacted through those channels—use this opportunity wisely.
Request a CV when appropriate. Many clinicians are passive job seekers. Ask for a CV thoughtfully—after an initial call or meeting—to avoid creating hesitation.
Emphasize confidentiality. Let clinicians know that initial conversations are confidential. This reassurance helps them explore opportunities without any obligation.
