What Physicians Have to Say
The most reassuring thing was when my recruiter said to me on our first conversation, “we’ll find you a job.” He remained committed to suitably placing me and guided me through the decision process.
The most notable quality I noticed about Dave Witte was that he was an advocate for me and my interests. He has done a remarkable job to help me negotiate through my job contract once he found the right job for me. He showed me a lot of positions, but then recommended to me only the right ones that matched my requirements. Unlike a lot of recruiters, he let me think carefully before I accepted a position and even encouraged me to be patient.
Corbin Baird was great in finding exactly the type of job I was looking for. He was quick to provide details and set up an interview. I would definitely recommend Corbin and the Curare Physician Recruiting to any colleague looking for a new job.
Emily Yang did a great job. She quickly realized my requirements and moved very quickly. I appreciate her efforts and will recommend her highly.
Thanks for all your encouragement. I couldn’t have done this on my own.
Great Job. You found just what I wanted and were very agreeable to work with.
Julie [Hargesheimer] was a great recruiter. She was always available to assist and answer any questions that I had. As a new grad, trying to find a job is a hard and new experience. It was nice to have someone to bounce questions and concerns off of. I recommend working with a recruiter to all providers going through this process.
The only comment I can give you is far beyond the call of duty. You are great, determined and extremely supportive. You were my guiding lighthouse. Thank you so much for all your efforts and dedication.

I had previously used a few different job recruiters but it wasn’t until I had the pleasure of working with Mr. [Ian] Sons when I felt someone listened to me and was addressing exactly what I was looking for in a job.

This is the first time I can say that I felt no hesitation to be completely open and honest with a job recruiter about my real job

I am very happy with Curare and will talk to my colleagues about it. Valerie was exceptional. She made all the right contacts and quickly for the job opportunity. I got my job offer within a very short period.
Jeremiah made a very stressful process much easier – he was a font of information, not just about the particular jobs, but how to go forward with accepting a job and asking for what I deserve. He even took phone calls and scheduled times to talk on his vacation. I have already recommended him to my graduating colleagues and would, should I ever decide I want a different job (hopefully not), reach out to him again in the future.
Valerie is very personable and efficient. She stays on top of the recruitment process and has wonderful communication skills. Great personality. Hope I can continue working with her on all my recruitment needs.
Jackie is a rare gem. I worked with several other companies prior to Curare. Jackie took on my case which was tricky and complex. She served as my advocate and knew my case well. She worked hard to find me a match and continued to support me thru to completion. Personalized approach is what works. Jackie is exceptional and unique.
Jeremiah was so exceptional. I have worked with several recruiters in the past and he supersedes them all. Proficient, quick to respond even during off hours. He was not pushy or obstinate. He was always positive and genuinely interested. I appreciate him so much.
Jeremiah was my support system throughout all the ups and downs of interviewing and finding a job. He kept in frequent contact, always trying to help! Absolutely a critical part in my successful job search.
Your approach in recruiting a physician for an available opportunity was not aggressive, but very effective and made me feel very comfortable working with you. I was able to discuss with you openly about my concerns and any issue that may have influenced my choice of a practice opportunity.
I worked with several recruiters in my job search and none of them were as attentive and caring as you. Thank you for everything.
I had multiple recruiters call me who often could not remember they had spoken with me or what my interests were. Curare Physician Recruiting was more professional, individualistic and recalled previous conversations and they were well versed in the practices they were representing. I recommend them highly.
I recommend Curare Physician Recruiting to other physicians, no need to use other recruiting services.
Your market knowledge, thoroughness and negotiating skills are clearly superior to those of any other search firm.
In fifteen years of practice, and having been approached and dealing with dozens of recruiters, you and your associates stand out as head and shoulders above the crowd. It is obvious that you build a strong relationship with your hospitals and other practice opportunities based on your honesty, integrity and ability to close the deal in a win-win manner which makes you one of a very select few of truly professional recruiters.
I had a 100% match and I am greatly satisfied with my new employer.
[Curare Physician Recruiting] deep market knowledge and contacts enabled me to land a position in my favored area one year in advance.
Your approach in recruiting a physician for an available opportunity was not aggressive, but very effective and made me feel very comfortable working with you and I was able to discuss with you openly about my concerns and any issue that may influence my choice of a practice opportunity.

I had an excellent experience with Curare Physician Recruiting who kept me up to date on available positions and assisted in consummating an employment agreement quite admirably. I would highly recommend Curare Physician Recruiting to anyone needing assistance.
My physician friends had cautioned me regarding the use of “headhunters” because of their perception that such professional groups were only interested in placing you somewhere (not necessarily a good match) as quickly as possible. My experiences with Curare Physician Recruiting were not in accordance with those warnings from my friends. It was a very positive working relationship. It saved me time and I felt as if she was working with me to find a good professional match.
I received many calls from recruiters that were obviously working for themselves instead of the physician! Curare Physician Recruiting’s knowledge, attention to detail, and patience resulted in a wonderful outcome for me!
We were using several recruiters but Curare Physician Recruiting was the only one who kept us informed of the progress weekly and only showed us opportunities that we were interested in – not just anything available.

The Best Recruiting Firm I have worked with.

I had hesitated to contact a recruiter because I had heard of bad experiences, but I have only positive things to say and would recommend Emily to my friends and collegues.
Ian Sons has been wonderful in assisting me with finding a position right after my training. Things went well and on time due to his planned coordination with my employer. I would definitely choose Curare Physician Recruiting in my job search again, as well as refer my colleagues to experience the timely and great service I received from you.

Over the past couple of years, we have worked with several physician recruitment firms while searching for both Medical and Radiation Oncologists. The Curare Group has provided us with the most qualified candidates and has been extremely responsive in helping us to bring the negotiations to closure. Their experience and professionalism is exemplary within the recruitment industry.
All of the recruiters have been attentive, have shown excellent follow through and were responsive to our needs and requests. Curare was very professional in handling negotiations and provided good customer service. We all like doing business with your group.
Another great experience with Curare. I appreciate the fact that you only send well screened, motivated candidates who are anticipating my phone call. Several agencies were working my pediatric need, but the Curare crew ultimately presented the two best physicians so we hired them both. Thanks again.
Occupational medicine is unique and difficult to recruit for. The Curare Group has done a great job for us over the many years we have worked with them.

It was a pleasure to work with him and I look forward to many more opportunities to fill our needs.
Bob Salzarulo is very professional and easy to work with. I would love working with him again. He helped us retain a prime candidate for general surgery.

Ian Sons was a pleasure to work with during this process. He kept in constant communication with us which was extremely helpful.
Dave Witte is wonderful to work with, professional, kind, and very on top of details. I am the only one in recruitment in a 700 physician hospital which limits me some days if I’m with a candidate. Dave was always understanding and got us the BEST internist ever!!!
