The Heart Behind the Hire: Supporting the calling behind your work

You didn’t choose physician recruitment by accident. You felt called to it.

In our recent Heart Behind the Hire research with AAPPR and Jackson Physician Search, 87% of in-house physician and provider recruiters said they feel a true calling to this work.

You’re not just filling positions — you’re building the teams that care for your communities.

But here’s what we also learned:

  • 64% of recruiters say they lack the support they need from leadership.
  • Many feel buried in administrative noise that pulls them away from the strategic work they love.

If that resonates, this toolkit was created with you in mind.

Practical support for purpose-driven recruiters

Developed in partnership with Dartmouth Health, the Career Advocacy Toolkit is designed to help you:

•    Step confidently into a more strategic role
•    Communicate your impact more clearly
•    Protect your time and focus
•    Advocate for the support you need to succeed

Because you are the heart of the healthcare workforce. And even the strongest heart needs a support system.
