Successful personnel marketing and direct approach for physician positions

Kontrast Personalberatung GmbH Hamburg can once again look back on successful placements in the medical sector: as part of challenging mandates, we were able to recruit a chief physician for a rehabilitation clinic and fill two specialist medical positions in pathology and psychiatry (with a focus on social medicine) on a permanent basis throughout Germany. This proves once again that our multi-stage personnel marketing and direct approach by permanently employed headhunters with many years of industry experience leads to targeted success-even for difficult job profiles with narrow technical requirements.

Head physician at rehabilitation clinic – the perfect fit despite regional challenges

For a rehabilitation clinic with a supraregional care mandate, the search for a new chief physician was a particular challenge: in addition to professional expertise, management skills, interdisciplinary thinking, and a high degree of team orientation were required. Through a combination of targeted personnel marketing, direct contact with our existing candidate pool, and digital active sourcing, we were able to find a suitable candidate for the management role at the clinic within a few weeks and motivate them to apply.

Specialist positions in pathology and psychiatry – successfully placed nationwide

At the same time, we were able to successfully fill two specialist positions in particularly sought-after fields: The position in pathology had been vacant for some time-traditional job advertisements had been unsuccessful. Our HR consultants specifically activated networks in university hospitals and diagnostic medical care centers and convinced an experienced specialist to move to a future-oriented laboratory.

For the position of a specialist in psychiatry with additional qualifications in social medicine, we were able to quickly find a suitable candidate from our existing pool of doctors who wanted to contribute his expertise to a social medicine rehabilitation provider-a win-win situation for both sides.

Sustainable placement through individual support

In all three projects, recruitment was made possible not only by digital tools and professional pre-selection, but above all by personal interviews, confidential consultation with clients, and close support for candidates throughout the entire process. It is precisely this individual approach that has been the hallmark of Kontrast Personalberatung GmbH for over 30 years-especially in the sensitive medical sector.

Conclusion: Recruiting doctors is possible-with expertise, patience, and a systematic approach.

The successful placements show that even demanding medical positions can be filled on a long-term basis-when personnel marketing, direct contact, and industry knowledge work together systematically. We are proud of these project successes and thank our clients for their trust.
