A Common Problem
While each mental health facility has its own unique challenges, problems with psychiatrist staffing are relatively the same. Overworked clinicians, too many long-term vacancies, and frustrated HR departments left shouldering the blame. Organizations are losing revenue due to personnel shortages and feeling the pressure to turn things around. That’s easier said than done though. Most facilities don’t have the time or resources necessary to find good candidates. Even if they do, many applicants are of poor quality or simply the wrong fit for the job. In-house or third-party recruitment teams can help, but often lack the data, skills, or experience to locate top talent. Which leads to a constant feast or famine cycle: too many applicants (who all look alike) or trouble sourcing qualified professionals to fill existing vacancies. But the problem is bigger than any single team or organization. According to a recent NCBH study, the national psychiatrist shortage is reaching epidemic proportions. The need for quality mental health care is steadily rising while the number of available practitioners is on the decline. The issue for employers is that most HR departments or recruiting firms don’t specialize in psychiatrist recruiting. They can’t fully understand the candidate’s needs or lack access to the right connections. Which inevitably leads to an uphill battle. However, when you partner with the industry veterans at PsychWorx, everything changes. With over 20 years of mental health experience, a national database of trusted candidates, and a passion for those we serve, psychiatrist recruitment just got easier.

Finding The Candidates You Can’t Reach
Posting open positions to job boards or recruiting websites is standard practice for mental health facilities, but often leads to mediocre (at best) results. Besides listings getting lost in the shuffle, job seekers on these pages are typically not ideal candidates.
So who are? Passive candidates.
Those with experience already working in the psychiatry field but not actively pursuing new employment. Many are unhappy with their current position, management team, or simply want to explore other opportunities. However, they feel stuck or don’t know where to begin their search.
This is where we can bridge the gap.
PsychWorx has developed partnerships with exceptional candidates and we continue to expand our reach every day. We utilize a multi-faceted approach to psychiatrist recruitment which includes a combination of direct outreach (cold calling, traditional mail, and email), social media marketing & networking, and our existing nationwide database of top companies and candidates.
Our pre-existing relationships have been developed over two decades of hands-on clinical experience, numerous site visits, and countless conferences and industry events.
Our recruiters understand the needs of psychiatrists… because they are experienced mental health clinician! Our recruiters have worked side by side with psychiatrist to treat patients.Our But the support doesn’t end there.
Not only can PsychWorx find the right candidates, but also help with the delicate negotiation process. We provide full credentialing of candidates, negotiate salary and benefits on your behalf, and assist with the transition to new employment.
