Case Study: Rural North Dakota Health System successfully places a psychiatrist with Jackson Physician Search

Rural North Dakota Health System places a psychiatrist in 60 days with Jackson Physician Search

The rural North Dakota health system struggled to retain physicians due to its extremely cold and remote location near the Canadian border. Despite offering a highly competitive compensation package, the health system needed help from Jackson Physician Search to identify and recruit a psychiatrist who would be committed to building a life in the region and staying long-term.

Jackson Physician Search implemented its 100% digital recruitment strategy, which included targeted email campaigns and distribution on national job boards. This approach successfully attracted a qualified psychiatrist seeking a major lifestyle change. The entire virtual hiring process, conducted during COVID-19 lockdowns, resulted in the candidate accepting the offer without a site visit. Seven months into the role, the psychiatrist reported being extremely happy, confirming the position was exactly as advertised, which led to a successful long-term placement for the health system.
