Since 2011, the Association for Advancing Physician and Provider Recruitment (AAPPR) has released our annual, comprehensive Benchmarking Report that highlights credible industry data that helps in-house recruitment professionals prepare, plan and forecast. A key step in collecting the data each year is through member-driven surveys including the Compensation Survey and Searches Survey.

AAPPR members are encouraged to participate in the surveys and share their insight and experience in the industry. All responses are strictly confidential and managed securely by AAPPR’s independent research partner. Here are five reasons why member organizations should participate in the surveying process:

• Gain free access to the Benchmarking Report and Benchmarking Portal, which includes advanced search tools and calculators when it is published.
• Access comprehensive, industry-specific data on compensation and search dynamics to help streamline and inform your organization’s decision-making processes, recruitment and retention strategy as well as onboarding programs.
• Compare your recruitment team’s performance and compensation to industry benchmarks, helping your organization stay competitive and attract talent.
• View detailed information that supports planning for hiring, budgeting and setting realistic recruitment goals for your team.
• Use actionable insights on physician shortages and evolving recruitment practices to remain proactive in the increasingly competitive market.

The Compensation Survey offers an in-depth look at compensation and profile data for internal healthcare recruitment professionals. Based on the data of more than 100 organizations, the report captures valuable insights from more than 500 recruitment experts. Details regarding compensation for hundreds of recruitment, onboarding and retention professionals are highlighted.

The Search Dynamics and Trends survey provides a look into the ongoing physician shortage and highlights recruitment challenges across specialties. This report includes valuable insights into recruitment trends and aids healthcare systems and practices in setting realistic recruitment timelines and targets.

For this year’s Benchmarking data gathering process, the Compensation Survey will close April 4 and the Search Dynamics and Trends survey will close May 16. To learn more about the Benchmark Report and how you can participate, please visit aappr.org/research/benchmarking/.
