Candidate database afterYours

Illustrative comparison. The funnel keeps producing after the first hire.

A physician search firm charges a fifth or more of first-year compensation and leaves nothing behind. Physician recruitment marketing builds the asset instead: campaigns that reach practicing physicians, a response system that treats their time seriously, and a candidate database you own.

Provido runs it for hospitalist, primary care, psychiatry, and specialty roles at hospitals, medical groups, and telehealth companies.

What it includes

Built for how physicians evaluate opportunities

Physicians respond to specifics, discretion, and speed. The funnel is built for all three.

Compensation-forward creative

Comp range, call schedule, and payor mix in the ad, not behind a recruiter screen. Physicians self-select, so the applicants who arrive are qualified.

Specialty and licensure targeting

Campaigns per specialty and per market, on LinkedIn, Meta, and Google, reaching practicing physicians and residents approaching their decision window.

Fast, discreet follow-up

Every inquiry gets a same-hour reply that answers the first three questions and offers a conversation, not an application portal.

Long-cycle nurture

Physician decisions take months. Sequences stay in touch through the cycle, and the database compounds: this year's "not yet" is next year's hire at zero acquisition cost.

You own the pipelineevery candidate stays in your database

Why it works

Search firms rent you a candidate. A funnel gives you a market.

Every campaign builds a database of physicians who have raised their hand for your market and your kind of role. The second hire from that database costs nothing to acquire, and the tenth makes the search firm math look absurd.

The same system handles the follow-up problem: a physician who inquires on Sunday evening hears back Sunday evening, which is rarer in physician recruitment than it has any right to be.

Common questions

Straight answers

The questions that come up most. If yours is not here, it is a fair question for the call.

Is recruitment marketing effective for physicians?

Yes, with the right specifics. Physicians respond to concrete compensation, schedule, and practice details, delivered discreetly and answered fast. Campaigns will not replace every search, but they fill the recurring roles and build a database that makes each subsequent search cheaper.

How does this compare to a physician search firm?

A search firm typically charges 20 to 30 percent of first-year compensation per placement. Provido is a flat monthly retainer with ad spend billed direct at no markup, and everything the campaigns produce, including the candidate database, belongs to you.

Which physician specialties does this work for?

Best for recurring and multi-hire needs: hospitalists, primary care, psychiatry, emergency medicine, and telehealth roles. Ultra-niche subspecialty searches may still warrant a dedicated search alongside the funnel.

How long until physician campaigns produce interviews?

Campaigns launch in three weeks. Physician cycles are longer than nursing, so expect the first booked conversations within the first optimization cycle and compounding results from the database over the following quarters.
