What should you check before an offer?

Modality experience: Ask, “Which examinations or treatments made up your recent schedule?” Useful answers identify the modality, patient groups, equipment, and frequency of relevant work. Separate occasional exposure from regular responsibility, especially when your opening covers more than one modality.

• Credentials and permission to practice: Ask, “Which current licenses and certifications apply to this assignment?” Check state licensure where required and verify relevant credentials with their issuing bodies. Distinguish a certificate you prefer from one the position legally needs. For physicians, confirm the privilege review your facility will conduct.
• Safety decisions: Ask, “Describe when you paused an examination or treatment because something did not match.” Look for identification checks, recognition of the discrepancy, and the person contacted. For MRI, probe screening decisions; for therapy, ask about prescription and setup discrepancies.
• Patient-facing work: Ask, “How did you handle a patient who could not tolerate the planned position?” A useful answer explains communication, documentation, and escalation within the person's role. Ask separately about transfers, pediatric examinations, or repeated treatment visits if those duties belong to your opening.
• Technical quality: Ask, “What made you repeat an image, question a study, or request review?” Listen for specific image-quality problems and the limits of the applicant's authority. For planning and physics roles, ask how checks were documented and disagreements referred for review.
• Shift coverage: Ask, “What decisions did you make without another person from your specialty immediately available?” Answers should identify actual support arrangements, handoffs, and escalation routes. Compare that experience with your weekend schedule, call duties, and expectations for covering another room or service.

Which hiring mistakes should you avoid?

A common mistake is advertising one combined imaging vacancy without specifying how shifts divide between modalities. Applicants cannot assess the assignment, and you cannot compare their recent experience fairly. Another is treating radiation therapy, dosimetry, and medical physics as substitute staffing options. Each vacancy needs its own duties, supervision arrangements, and credential review.

What are the next steps?

Tell us which modality or treatment function is open, the patient mix, equipment, schedule, and call duties. We screen credentials, work history, and fit through questions tied to those duties. You complete credentialing and clinical assessment, including applicable license verification and privilege decisions.

What separates a therapist search from a dosimetrist search?

The therapist opening centers on treatment delivery, while dosimetry centers on treatment planning. Define the assigned work and review process before selecting candidates. Medical dosimetrists develop treatment plans, while medical physicists address technical and safety aspects of radiation delivery. These distinctions matter when deciding who reviews a concern, changes a plan, or stops work pending clarification.
