tapped out on LinkedIn. Your req is still open, and your team is spending too much time staring at the same profiles.<\/p>\n<p>Many clinicians keep a low online profile or limit what\u2019s visible in search. If you only work one channel, your reachable market shrinks and your speed-to-submittal slows.

In the U.S., the cleanest starting point is NPI (National Provider Identifier). If you\u2019re recruiting outside the U.S., use the local clinician registry equivalent as your identity anchor.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Define the req in operational terms: specialty, setting, geography, schedule\/call, start date, and whether it\u2019s permanent or <strong>locum tenens<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Pull a starting universe from NPI and narrow by what affects placement speed: distance to facility, coverage model, and credentialing constraints.<\/li>\n<li>Capture identifiers you can match later: NPI, practice address, and any public office line (useful for routing through a gatekeeper).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Add_compliant_non-social_sources_no_scraping\"><\/span>Step 2: Add compliant non-social sources (no scraping)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>NPI is your anchor. Then add context from sources that are often more complete than social profiles. Use only permitted access and respect site terms; do not use automated extraction where it\u2019s prohibited.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Health system and hospital provider directories (for current affiliation and location)<\/li>\n<li>Group practice websites (for office routing and specialty confirmation)<\/li>\n<li>Conference agendas and speaker lists (for clinical interests and recent activity)<\/li>\n<li>Specialty society directories where accessible (for membership signals)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Define_%E2%80%9Cgood_contact%E2%80%9D_before_you_enrich\"><\/span>Step 3: Define \u201cgood contact\u201d before you enrich<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most teams enrich first and define quality later. That\u2019s how you end up with a big list that can\u2019t be worked. Define your minimum viable record:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Verified contacts:<\/strong> at least one deliverable email and one callable phone path (direct mobile preferred).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Role fit:<\/strong> specialty and current practice location match your need.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Suppression:<\/strong> do-not-contact, opt-out, wrong person, retired, and \u201cnever locums\u201d flags.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The trade-off is\u2026 you\u2019ll build a smaller list than a bulk export, but it will move faster because it\u2019s contactable and suppressible.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Verify_identity_and_contactability_before_outreach\"><\/span>Step 4: Verify identity and contactability before outreach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Off-platform sourcing works when you treat verification as part of the workflow, not a one-time cleanup. Your goal is to avoid three expensive errors: wrong person, wrong channel, wrong timing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Identity match:<\/strong> confirm the physician by NPI + practice location + specialty\/taxonomy to reduce same-name mistakes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Email verification:<\/strong> confirm deliverability before sequencing; suppress hard bounces quickly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Phone verification:<\/strong> confirm the number is callable; prioritize direct mobile when available; keep office lines for routing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In Heartbeat.ai workflows, teams prioritize <strong>verified contacts<\/strong> and <strong>line tested<\/strong> phone paths so recruiters spend time talking to clinicians, not chasing dead ends.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Reach_with_a_clinician-friendly_multi-channel_sequence\"><\/span>Step 5: Reach with a clinician-friendly multi-channel sequence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Clinicians don\u2019t sit in inboxes all day, and many won\u2019t answer unknown numbers during clinic. Multi-channel gives you multiple chances to connect without being noisy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Email<\/strong> for context and credibility (who you are, why them, what the role is, and the fastest next step).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Call<\/strong> for speed when the role is urgent or high-margin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SMS<\/strong> for short scheduling prompts after an email or call attempt, with clear <strong>opt-out<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Office line<\/strong> for routing when you don\u2019t have a direct path (use it to confirm affiliation and request the best channel).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want a ready-made cadence, use: <a href=\"http:\/\/heartbeat.ai\/resources\/physician-recruiting\/physician-recruiting-sequence-email-sms-call\/\">physician recruiting sequence (email + SMS + call)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Channel_table_best_use_failure_mode_and_what_to_do_next\"><\/span>Channel table: best use, failure mode, and what to do next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"table-scroll\" style=\"overflow:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;width:100%\">\n<table class=\"separated-content\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Channel<\/th>\n<th>Best for<\/th>\n<th>Common failure mode<\/th>\n<th>Fix<\/th>\n<th>Metric to watch<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Email<\/td>\n<td>Context, credibility, and a clean next step<\/td>\n<td>Bounces or spam filtering<\/td>\n<td>Verify before send; suppress bounces; tighten targeting<\/td>\n<td>Deliverability Rate = delivered emails \/ sent emails (per 100 sent)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Call (mobile)<\/td>\n<td>Speed-to-conversation for urgent roles<\/td>\n<td>Voicemail-only or wrong number<\/td>\n<td>Prioritize verified mobile; leave short voicemail pointing to email; refresh numbers<\/td>\n<td>Connect Rate = connected calls \/ total dials (per 100 dials)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SMS<\/td>\n<td>Scheduling nudge after context exists<\/td>\n<td>Feels intrusive; opt-outs<\/td>\n<td>Only after email\/call attempt; keep it short; include STOP opt-out; suppress fast<\/td>\n<td>Opt-out rate = opt-outs \/ delivered emails (per 100 delivered emails)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Office line<\/td>\n<td>Affiliation confirmation and routing<\/td>\n<td>Gatekeeper blocks or endless transfers<\/td>\n<td>Ask for best channel\/time; use it to validate practice details; don\u2019t over-dial<\/td>\n<td>Connect Rate = connected calls \/ total dials (per 100 dials)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Follow_up_with_clean_notes_and_fast_suppression\"><\/span>Step 6: Follow up with clean notes and fast suppression<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Follow-up is where teams either quit too early or create complaints.
