MedicalRecruiting.com is a national General Surgery recruiting firm placing board-certified physicians into permanent, locum tenens, and telehealth general surgery positions across all 50 states. Since 2006 our general surgery recruiters have partnered with hospitals, health systems, multi-specialty groups, single-specialty general surgery practices, FQHCs, academic medical centers, and private equity-backed platforms — on a contingency-only fee model that means employers pay nothing until a physician accepts and starts. Whether you need a single general surgery physician for a community practice or a slate of candidates to launch a new general surgery service line, MedicalRecruiting.com gives you a single specialty-aligned recruiting relationship covering every market in the United States.
Generalist staffing agencies treat every general surgery opening the same. Our general surgery recruiters do not. We are organized by specialty cluster so the recruiter handling your general surgery search actually understands the clinical model, supervision rules, productivity expectations, and compensation benchmarks specific to general surgery. That depth of clinical and operational fluency is the difference between a slate of resumes and a slate of physicians who will actually accept your offer.
Every general surgery recruiting engagement begins with a structured intake call capturing the must-haves of the role — practice model, productivity expectations, base + bonus structure, partnership track, sign-on, relocation, loan assistance, CME budget, malpractice coverage, EMR, call coverage, and any visa or J-1 waiver considerations. We translate that intake into a written search profile our general surgery recruiters work against. Within 14-21 days we deliver a curated slate of board-certified or board-eligible general surgery candidates whose practice interests, geography, family considerations, and compensation expectations match the role.
Every general surgery placement carries a 90-day replacement guarantee. If a placed physician departs within the first 90 days for any reason, we re-run the search at no additional fee. Combined with the contingency-only fee structure, employers can engage MedicalRecruiting.com on a general surgery search with zero upfront financial risk and evaluate our pipeline against any incumbent firm or in-house talent team head-to-head.
Our general surgery recruiters operate on a contingency-fee model — billed only when a placed physician accepts an offer and starts in the role. There are no upfront fees, no retainers, no monthly minimums, and no charges for resumes that don't convert. Pricing is custom-built per search based on specialty, geography, and difficulty — request a quote at /contact and our team will send a tailored proposal within one business day. Volume employers and exclusive search partners receive volume pricing and exclusive-search rebates. Every placement is backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee at no additional cost.
Average time-to-fill for general surgery roles depends on geography, the specificity of the credentials required, and the comprehensiveness of the offer package. Metro-market general surgery positions typically fill in 60-120 days from intake call to signed offer. Subspecialty fellowship-trained roles, rural markets, J-1 waiver positions, and academic appointments typically add 30-60 days. Our recruiters provide weekly pipeline updates with active candidates, interview status, and offers in flight, so employers always know exactly where every search stands.
MedicalRecruiting.com recruits general surgery physicians into all 50 states plus the District of Columbia. We have active employer relationships in every major metro market, deep coverage of mid-size cities, and proven success in rural and underserved markets where the recruiting challenge is hardest. We also place into telehealth, locum tenens, and permanent W-2 employer models depending on the candidate's preferred employment structure.
No. MedicalRecruiting.com is free for physicians. There are no fees, no exclusivity contracts, and full confidentiality on every conversation.
