PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES OF AN ELECTRONIC
MEDICAL RECORDS RECRUITER:
An electronic medical records recruiter is someone engaging in
recruitment, which is the solicitation of individuals to fill
jobs or positions within any group in an Electronic Medical records
environment. Electronic medical records recruiters can be divided
into two groups; those electronic medical records recruiters working
internally for one organization, and those electronic medical
records recruiters working for multiple clients in a third-party
broker relationship, sometimes called headhunters or agency recruiters.
An internal electronic medical records recruiter (alternatively
in-house recruiter or corporate recruiter) is member of a company
or organization and typically works in human resources (HR), which
in the past was known as the Personnel Office, or just Personnel.
Internal electronic medical records recruiters may be multifunctional,
serving in an HR generalist role (negotiating, hiring, firing,
exit interviews, employee disputes, contracts, benefits, recruiting,
etc.) or in a specific role focusing all their time on the activity
of recruiting. The electronic medical records recruiters can be
permanent employees or hired as contractors for this purpose.
Contract electronic medical records recruiters tend to move around
between multiple companies working at each one for a short stint
as needed for specific hiring purposes. The responsibility to
filter the candidate as per the requirement of the client.
A third party electronic medical records recruiter or an employment
agency acts as an independent contact between their client companies
and the candidates they recruit for a position. The electronic
medical records recruiters can specialize in client relationships
only, and in finding candidates. Most electronic medical records
recruiters tend to specialize in permanent or full-time, direct
hire positions or contract positions, but occasionally in both.
An executive search firm is a type of employment agency that
can have electronic medical records recruiters that specializes
in recruiting executive personnel for companies involved in Electronic
Medical Records. Electronic medical records recruiters typically
have a wide range of personal contacts within the area in question,
a detailed specific knowledge of said area, and typically operate
at the most senior level. Electronic medical records recruiters
are also involved throughout more of the hiring process, conducting
detailed interviews as well as only presenting candidates to clients
where they feel the candidate in question will fit into the employment
culture of the client. Electronic medical records recruiters typically
have long-lasting relationships with clients spanning many years,
and in such cases the suitability of candidates is paramount.
It is also important that such agencies operate with a high level
of professionalism.
