What makes pediatrician hiring hard

Compensation ceilings

Pediatrics pays less than most specialties, so schedule, support, and loan repayment carry more weight. We help you lead with them.

Newborn and inpatient coverage

Nursery rounding and hospital call are frequent sticking points. We clarify them before interviews.

Subspecialty drift

Many residents pursue fellowship. We recruit pediatricians committed to general practice or to the hospitalist track you need.

How we vet every pediatrician

  • ABP board certification or eligibility verified
  • State medical license and DEA confirmed
  • Newborn, inpatient, and outpatient scope documented
  • Procedural comfort (circumcision, sedation) checked where relevant
  • Malpractice history and NPDB self-query reviewed
  • References from practice partners or medical directors

FAQ

Pediatrician recruiting, answered

How much does it cost to hire pediatricians through MedStaff Nationwide?
We work on contingency: there is no retainer and no fee until your pediatrician starts. The placement fee is a percentage of first-year base compensation, agreed in writing before the search begins, and every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
How long does a pediatrician search take?
Our average time-to-fill across permanent clinical searches is 27 days from signed agreement to accepted offer. Pediatricians searches in competitive markets can run longer; your recruiter sets a realistic timeline during intake and reports against it weekly.
Do you recruit pediatric hospitalists?
Yes. We recruit both outpatient general pediatricians and pediatric hospitalists, and screen candidates for the track they want.
What happens if the clinician leaves?
Every placement is covered by our replacement guarantee. If a placed clinician does not complete onboarding, we re-run the search at no additional cost. Our 12-month retention rate across placements is 96%.
