Lets take a look at the benefits of approaching hospitals directly
Hands-on approach
Some hospitals choose not to collaborate with recruitment agencies and instead rely on their internal recruitment or HR teams to directly advertise positions. This happens more so in the private sector. This approach helps them avoid incurring agency fees, presenting an opportunity for you to apply directly to them.
Direct connections
If you have the time, by applying directly, you may have the opportunity to connect directly with hiring staff and medical admin, potentially speeding up the interview and selection process. By passing recruitment agencies can allow you to initiate direct conversations, showcasing your enthusiasm and ability. Building direct relationships through direct applications can enhance visibility, facilitate meaningful interactions, and increase the likelihood of a successful connection between yourself and the hospital or practice.
Independence
Applying directly puts you in control, allowing you to pursue any position that interests you. A recruiter might not recommend opportunities or submit your CV for roles if you lack the required experience or qualifications, however, when applying directly, you have the flexibility to pursue any roles that interest you.
It’s up to the individual as to whether they use an agency or go it alone. Using a medical recruitment agency like Wavelength can help you get your dream role sooner with less leg work and reduced stress than approaching hospitals directly.
