Bottom line
Career fair organizer for physician recruiting: in-person fairs in more than 120 cities where employers meet job-seeking residents and fellows, plus 24-hour virtual fairs by specialty, each ending with a lead list of attendees. The vendor's registration page lists in-person fairs from $950 per event. Best for hospitals and groups hiring physicians out of training who want face-to-face time with the local resident class.
Stands out for: It is built around the moment residents and fellows look for their first job: regional fairs in 120+ cities bring the local training programs to one room, and the virtual fairs run 24 hours for each of 36 specialties so residents can drop in around call schedules. Pricing is per event rather than an annual contract, and every fair ends with a lead list of the physicians who attended.
Watch out for: This is an events business, not a database or sourcing tool: you meet whoever turns up, and you work the lead list afterwards in your own system. Virtual fair and job posting prices are not published, and the in-person prices on the vendor's registration page sit alongside an older event schedule, so confirm the current fee. The vendor documents no ATS integration.
Overview
CareerMD is a New York based company that connects medical students, residents, fellows and practicing physicians with employers. Its career fairs began in 2004 in five cities and now run in more than 120 cities nationwide.
At in-person fairs, employers meet face to face with the job-seeking residents and fellows in that region. Registration includes promotion on the CareerMD website, a listing in the Participating Employers Guide and a post-event lead list of attendees.
Virtual career fairs run for 36 specialties every quarter, from anesthesiology and cardiology to psychiatry, radiology and the surgical specialties. Each is open for 24 hours so residents can visit around their schedules, and employers do not need to be on standby. Employers get a virtual booth, a full post-fair lead list and an optional live webinar or video presentation.
Separate fairs serve advanced practice providers, nurses and allied health practitioners; the vendor says more than 35,000 of them have attended in recent years.
CareerMD also sells targeted job postings and recruitment advertising to its audience of students, residents and physicians.
The employer registration page lists in-person fairs at $950, $1,100 for premium Saturday events, with guide advertising from $600 for a classified and $1,100 for a display ad. Virtual fair pricing comes from customer service.
