At Med-Hunters, our contingency healthcare recruiting model allows healthcare organizations to access experienced recruiting support with no upfront financial commitment. Our fee or cost of services is earned only when you hire a candidate we introduce.
This approach provides a low-risk, results-driven solution for organizations seeking qualified healthcare professionals without engaging in a retained search.
How Contingency Recruiting Works
Under a contingency search agreement, Med-Hunters actively sources, screens, and presents qualified candidates for your open positions. Our recruiting team leverages extensive industry networks, targeted outreach, and proven sourcing strategies to identify professionals who meet your clinical, operational, and cultural requirements.
You incur no cost unless you choose to hire one of our candidates.
Candidate Identification and Screening
Med-Hunters conducts a comprehensive screening process before presenting candidates to your organization. This typically includes:
- Professional background and credential verification
- Experience evaluation and skills assessment
- Compensation expectations and relocation considerations
- Interview readiness and availability
- Cultural and organizational fit
Our goal is to present high-quality candidates who are genuinely interested in your opportunity and aligned with your hiring needs.
Professional References
Upon request, Med-Hunters can also provide professional reference reports for the final candidates selected by your organization. These reference checks help verify the candidate’s:
- Clinical or technical competencies
- Professional conduct and reliability
- Work ethic and collaboration with colleagues
- Leadership or patient-care strengths where applicable
This additional layer of vetting supports more confident hiring decisions and reduced hiring risk.
Fee Structure
Our contingency recruiting fee is calculated as a percentage of the candidate’s first-year annual compensation.
The fee becomes payable only if your organization hires a candidate introduced by Med-Hunters, either:
- Directly from our presentation, or
- Through a referral from that candidate
within one year of the initial candidate introduction.
This ensures transparency and protects the value of the recruiting process.
Replacement Guarantee
To provide additional peace of mind, Med-Hunters offers a replacement policy with our contingency placements.
If the hired candidate leaves your organization or your organization decides to separate employment within the agreed guarantee period, Med-Hunters will conduct a replacement search at no additional professional fee.
Our goal is not simply to make placements—but to ensure successful, long-term hires that strengthen your team.
