Ben Argeband, Founder & CEO of Heartbeat.ai<\/strong> \u2014 a math-first approach to setting req loads that recruiters can actually sustain.<\/p>\n

Physician recruiting capacity breaks down in two places: reach (gatekeepers, clinic hours, private practice owners, wrong numbers) and admin drag (ATS updates, scheduling, duplicate cleanup, contact refresh). If you plan headcount around “reqs per recruiter” as a flat number, you’ll overload the team the first time connect rates dip or admin work spikes.<\/p>\n

This playbook walks through a staffing model built on your own numbers: outreach attempts per placement, connect rate, time per attempt, and admin hours. The output is a safe active req cap per recruiter and a staffing estimate you can defend in a planning meeting.<\/p>\n
