  • Radiology job boards

    Posted by ruszja on March 13, 2023 at 6:27 am

    What are the boards people go looking for jobs?
     
    The ACR job board is near useless as no matter how you structure your query, 90% of the returns will be nationwide tele spam and out of state postings. It’s like the ‘people you may know’ feature on facebook. No, I dont know these people….
     
    Radworking ?
     
    The AM job board ?
     
    Any subspecialty specific sites ?

    Youve been around long enough to know acr.org includes majority of openings.

    Your experience on acr.org simply reflects that there are plenty of jobs but the majority are stinkers.

      ACR is the primary place to find these openings.
       
      Like Drrad123 says, lots of jobs out there and a lot of them suck. That hasn’t changed.
       
      Talk to your faculty and program alumni, search out groups in the areas you’re interested in, look at the websites & rad bios, cold call/email with your CV, never know what you’ll hear back but you definitely won’t hear anything if you don’t try.

        Yes the ACR is still the gold standard with subspecialty boards being secondary places to look.  All the others like radworking and such are mostly recruiting firms.  Not that they don’t represent real jobs you just need to make sure they don’t bomb your CV everywhere.
         
        I find it pretty simple to wade through the ACR.  You can easily identify the corporates and telerad companies and skip them if you don’t have interest.  I still get about half of my candidates from the ACR, SIR and SBI sites with the balance coming from email.

          I keep getting your emails, and with the exception of the job in BF Missouri, I feel tempted to reply to almost all of them 😉 
           
          Yes, you can sift through the garbage on the ACR site. What you can’t do is to tell the system to not spam every query with the nationwide ads or with ads from three states over who just add additional fictional locations just to get their ads in front of more eyeballs. There should also be a ‘not’ operator. If I am trying to get a handle on the PP situation in a state, I dont care how many times the state university posts the same job for a ‘superfragilicious assistant deputy professor of community imaging’.

              That is a killer practice!  Yes it is small town midwest but they have ridiculous reimbursement rates, a stellar book of business, and the rads do really earn in the top 5% nationally.  They just went on a new comp model which is fair, transparent and impossible to game. Great leadership, governance and of course management.  Lots of rads are good with living in a smaller city with extremely low cost of living making well above average income.
               
              Thanks for the props on my emails.  I try to give as much info as possible which is why we have been so successful in recruiting when most are struggling.  I signed 44 rads in 2022 for our groups.

                Congratulations.
                From where are most of your new hires coming, straight out of training, private groups, corp/PE groups?

                The impossible trinity of radiology- Impossible to have all three at the same time.

                  I think highly of Dan and his in depth understanding of radiology PP; but I guarantee, there will always be someone who will game the system; including spending more time trying to game the system than it would to simply do what is expected. This is where leadership comes into play; because all the rules in the world are not immune to unintended consequences. 
                  Groups are made of people; good people with mature leadership makes all the difference.

                      You can prob email him. These are the current jobs that he occasionally sends out:

                      (and my quip about BF Missouri is meant in good fun. Out of the jobs, it’s the only one I simply would pass based on location, I am sure the group is a good place to work)

        Maybe my question was a bit obtuse. I am the employer.
         
        Is there any other place worth putting an add beyond the ACR job board ?

          ACR and society of breast imaging are the main sites for job ads. The other societies dont have as much sway. Radworking is mainly Corp groups and job recruiters.
