What does an open seat cost you every week?
An open role costs you more than the recruiting fee. Someone covers the work, waits for care, or stops a service. We ask what is falling behind and who is carrying it. Use your own figures to compare the cost of waiting with the cost of hiring.
The seat is costing you every week.
Overtime, diverted patients, a stretched team and a schedule held together by favors.
The posting brought the wrong people.
Applicants arrive, but the person who has done this exact work is employed and not looking.
You are the one chasing.
Screening calls, no-shows and follow-ups land on the desk of someone with a facility to run.
What does this hire really come down to?
A screening service and a diagnostic breast center need different coverage. Before we search, we ask what happens during a typical session: screening reads, diagnostic callbacks, ultrasound examinations, image-guided biopsies, or consultations. We also clarify whether the physician covers general radiology.
Start with the division between screening and diagnostic work. Ask who reviews prior studies, resolves incomplete examinations, and speaks with patients after diagnostic imaging. If screening is read remotely, determine who handles callbacks and procedures locally. A candidate who prefers screening may not want a schedule built around diagnostic consultations.
Procedure coverage needs its own discussion. Experience with ultrasound-guided, stereotactic, tomosynthesis-guided, and MRI-guided biopsies is not interchangeable. Ask which techniques the physician currently performs and which need additional assessment. Define responsibility for imaging-pathology concordance, follow-up recommendations, and communication with referring clinicians before describing the opening.
What do we check before you see anyone?
Credentials: Does the candidate hold, or qualify for, the medical license needed for your location? We review radiology board status, breast imaging fellowship training where sought, and current practice history. Your team verifies applicable mammography qualifications and privileges. Diagnostic judgment: How does the physician work through a callback when prior images are unavailable?
- A useful answer explains comparison efforts, additional imaging decisions, reporting, and communication. Ask your clinical interviewer to assess reasoning rather than accept reading volume alone.
- Procedures: Which breast biopsy techniques has the physician performed recently? Ask about equipment, lesion location, sample documentation, and post-procedure communication. Evidence should distinguish independent procedural work from observation or experience that has not been maintained.
- Follow-through: What happens when pathology does not explain the imaging finding? Look for a clear account of concordance review, documentation, escalation, and communication with the care team. Your clinical reviewers assess whether that account fits local practice.
- Patient conversations: How does the physician explain an unexpected diagnostic finding while the patient is still present? A useful answer separates what is known from what needs further evaluation and describes coordination with staff without promising a diagnosis prematurely.
- Daily coordination: How does the physician handle a procedure session interrupted by diagnostic add-ons? Ask about discussions with technologists, examination readiness, reporting delays, and handoffs. Look for practical choices that fit your staffing and appointment structure.
Where do we find them, and why would they move?
We recruit from hospital breast centers, outpatient imaging practices, academic radiology departments, and physician-owned radiology groups. Each background can offer relevant experience, but the employer type does not prove procedural depth. We ask candidates to describe their own sessions, reporting responsibilities, and role in breast conferences.
A physician may consider moving for a different screening-to-diagnostic balance, more consistent procedure access, teaching opportunities, or a changed call schedule. We test those interests against your opening. Someone seeking mostly breast work needs a clear account of any evening, weekend, or general radiology coverage.
Which mistakes stall the search?
Do not advertise breast imaging without stating the general radiology share. If the opening includes emergency or inpatient reads, disclose that work before interviews. Do not treat fellowship training as proof of current procedural readiness. Review recent technique-specific experience and let your clinical team assess the proposed privileges.
Do not leave result ownership unclear. Identify who tracks biopsy pathology, documents concordance, communicates recommendations, and handles follow-up when the reading physician is away.
How would we run the search for this opening?
Tell us your modality mix, procedure types, reading locations, schedule, and call duties. We screen credentials, work history, and fit through concrete questions about diagnostic sessions and procedures. Your employer team completes credentialing and clinical assessment. Identify who supports patient communication and pathology tracking.

Should we make breast imaging fellowship training mandatory?
Decide whether fellowship training is essential to your appointment or preferred. Review recent breast practice alongside training, especially when the position includes procedures that need specific privileges. Those details shape the search more than a broad request for breast imaging experience.
Can one physician cover screening remotely and procedures onsite?
That arrangement may fit, but define the onsite schedule and callback ownership. Candidates need to know who handles patients needing diagnostic review while they are reading elsewhere.
How should we interview for breast MRI coverage?
Ask separately about MRI interpretation and MRI-guided biopsy experience. Reading breast MRI does not establish recent experience performing MRI-guided procedures.
What should we disclose about breast conferences?
State whether attendance is expected and how sessions fit the reading schedule. Ask candidates about case preparation, imaging-pathology discussions, and communicating decisions after the conference.
Who assesses mammography qualifications before appointment?
We screen the candidate’s stated credentials and practice history. Your credentialing team verifies the applicable qualifications, supporting records, and privileges for the assignment before clinical work begins.
What should you send us about this role?
Send us the role, where the person will work and what needs to change with this hire. We will ask about the work, not just the title. Share any license or schedule limits that could rule someone out before we begin the search.
Share your breast imaging schedule, procedure coverage, and general radiology duties. We can help you define the opening and screen physicians against that work.
No upfront fee. You pay only if you hire. We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.

How long will it take to see a short list?
That depends on the job, schedule, available people, and what your employer can offer. We discuss those constraints before outreach and update you as candidates respond. We do not promise a fixed shortlist date. We check the job brief before arranging interviews. Tell us which parts of the role you can change.
What if a candidate receives a counteroffer?
We ask why the person wants to move and discuss competing decisions before an offer. A counteroffer can still change their choice. Keep the duties and offer clear rather than assuming more money settles every concern. Tell us early if parts of your offer cannot change, so the candidate hears it from us first.
What are the replacement terms?
We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement. Ask us to walk through those terms before you sign, so you know how a replacement would work for your opening and who would start it.
What do we not do in a standard permanent search?
We do not bill standard contingency search by the hour or simply repost your job. Temporary coverage is a separate arrangement. Any retainer or different engagement must be agreed, not assumed. Tell us early if you need coverage while the permanent search runs.
