NCHCR was formed in March 2005 recognizing the fact that the Independent Healthcare Recruiters needed an exclusive Coalition to provide them with the resources larger corporations utilize. In addition to the historical activities of recruiters, the Independent Physician Recruiter meets specific needs the In-House recruiter cannot. These include assisting candidates with anonymous searches and representing clients for proprietary opportunities they do not want to publicly conduct. By banding together NCHCR members represent a significant recruiting presence in the industry. As a group, we share common strengths and long term relationships with both our clients and physicians. NCHCR promotes the fact that the Independent Physician Recruiter plays a critical role in the Physician market, both permanent & locum. This is daily evidenced through participation on our nationally advertised job board, split rich networking environment, locum placement service, co-op programs, and adherence to a high ethical business standards and recruiting protocols.
