Career Fairs & EXPOs

How can I register for upcoming events?

To register for an upcoming CareerMD event, log in to your account and click the "Register for Events" link, under the “Career Fairs” title. You must pay by credit card at the time of registration. CareerMD cannot "hold" event reservations. If the registration deadline has passed or an event appears as "sold out" online, please contact a CareerMD representative or CustomerService@CareerMD.com.

What is included in the registration fee?

Registration includes in-person attendance at the event for up to two representatives from your organization as well the complete lead list of all residents, fellows and physicians who register for the event.

How do I access the list of residents and fellows who are participating in a career fair?

You can access the RSVP lists by logging in to your CareerMD account and clicking the link for "Candidate Contact Lists", next to the "Download Candidate Lead Lists" section of your My Account page. The RSVP list is available as soon as you register to exhibit and is updated in real time as candidates RSVP. If you are a search firm, you will gain access to this list the day after the event. The RSVP lists are also updated within about 1-4 business days after the event date to include any day-of registrations or "walk-ins". Candidate data typically includes the candidate's name, email address, training program, specialty, and year of completion. Candidates are requested, but not required, to submit their CVs, headshots, geographic preference, visa status, and phone numbers, so this information may or may not be included for each candidate. We encourage you to reach out to any/all candidates of interest. You may export the candidate lists to an Excel file or Word document, which we encourage you to do, since the lists are accessible through your CareerMD account for up to one year after the event date.

How many residents and fellows typically attend a CareerMD Career Fair? What specialties will be represented? Are APPs also included?

Past participation at events is often a good indicator of future participation, and so CareerMD publishes past participation for all cities here: www.careermd.com/employers/careerfairs.aspx (just click on the city name). The majority of residents & fellows tend to RSVP within 1-2 weeks of the event date, with many registering a few days in advance or attending day-of as "walk-ins". Therefore, it is not possible to predict the number of participants at a given event, or to know what the exact mix of specialties will look like. Attendance is typically a reflection of the number and type of trainees in the area, and typically includes a mix of primary care and specialists. In addition to residents and fellows, job-seeking APPs (PA's and NP's) may participate in CareerMD Career Fairs, although the majority of participants are typically physicians, residents & fellows. CareerMD Career Fairs are promoted through training programs and directly to residents and fellows in the area. To see a complete list of teaching hospitals invited to each event, click on any city name here: www.careermd.com/employers/careerfairs.aspx. Practicing physicians, faculty, and program coordinators & directors are also invited to participate.

I am registered to attend an upcoming Career Fair. Is there anything that I should do ahead of time? Where can I find event details?

Once registered for a Career Fair, given the hybrid format, you are automatically included in the 24-hour virtual fair. We suggest logging into your CareerMD account to update your current job postings and employer profile. As soon as you register for a Career Fair, your organization will automatically be listed as a "Featured Employer" on the CareerMD website and in all promotional materials for the event, and your job postings and profile will be made available to residents and fellows. This information will also be included in your Virtual Booth during the 24-hour virtual fair. Please feel free to contact pre-registered residents and fellows in advance (in-house recruiters) or after the fair (recruitment firms). You may access candidate information by logging in to your CareerMD account and clicking the "Search Candidate Lists" link. If you plan to stop by the in-person meal, please let us know by contacting CustomerService@CareerMD.com. Space is limited and there is no added cost to stop by. The venue details will be listed on the event webpage. If you would like to participate in the Recruiter Power Hour via 5-minute live Zoom webinar presentation or video, please reserve a spot by emailing CustomerService@CareerMD.com. Again, space is limited and there is no added cost. If you would like to sign into Live Chat on the event day, simply log into your CareerMD account on the event day and select “Chat with Virtual Event Users” to indicate you are online and available to candidates for live chat

Where can I find information about event logistics?

Location and other information about each Career Fair can be found by clicking the appropriate city name on this page: www.careermd.com/employers/careerfairs.aspx. Please make sure to double check the date and location for the event when gathering information about the career fair of interest.

What should exhibitors bring to the event? How is the room set up? How are tables assigned? Will exhibitors have access to electricity or internet?

In terms of the in-person component, the venue for each Career Fair can be found by clicking the appropriate city name on this page: www.careermd.com/employers/careerfairs.aspx. The venues are posted about 1-3 weeks in advance. All Career Fairs currently include virtual components in addition to optional in-person attendance. The virtual components are the same for all Career Fairs – e.g., optional Recruiter Power Hour (5-minute online presentations), live chat, and virtual booth. Contact CustomerService@CareerMD.com for more information.

My organization recruits for just one specialty. Should we attend a Career Fair?

While single specialty employers are welcome to participate in CareerMD Career Fairs, these events are generally more productive for organizations that recruit for numerous specialties and subspecialties. If your organization recruits for just a single specialty, we recommend that you consider a CareerMD service that will enable you to target only the specialty you seek. We suggest that you post your job online (complimentary), that you place an ad in E-Job Bulletins ($340/job); Specialty-specific Virtual Career Fairs ($460/event); a Programmatic Advertising campaign (starting at $600/listing per month); and/or that you subscribe to the CareerMD Candidate Database ($520/month). Information about these other products can be found on our website or by emailing a CareerMD representative.

Where can I see the list of events my organization is registered to attend?

You can view your organization's upcoming career fair registrations by logging into your CareerMD account. They are listed at the top of the page under “Upcoming Orders. If you are an All Access subscriber, your organization is automatically included in the 24-hour Virtual Exhibit Hall for all Career Fairs, with your Main Admin Contact as the virtual booth contact. If you would like to participate in the power hour or attend in-person, please let us know in advance.

What should I do if I need to cancel my career fair registration? Can I receive a refund or credit?

All sales are final and non-refundable. If you can no longer participate in a Career Fair and wish to cancel, please contact CustomerService@CareerMD.com. With more than 30 days’ notice, we can provide a credit or swap for another upcoming Career Fair within the calendar year. Please note that we cannot provide credits / swaps within 30 days of the event date. If you have an All Access or Regional Access pass, there is no penalty to cancel, swap or add events. Simply email CustomerService@CareerMD.com before the event date (ideally at least 14 days in advance).

What is the cost to post opportunities on CareerMD's online job database?

There is no cost to post employment, fellowship or residency opportunities on CareerMD.com.

How long does a listing stay posted online?

Listings are posted on CareerMD.com until employers choose to deactivate them. We suggest deactivating a listing as soon as the position is filled. Employers can also refresh their opportunities at any time, which will bring those listings to the top of search results.

How can I add/remove/refresh/edit my job postings?

You can adjust your postings by logging into your CareerMD account and clicking on "Post/Edit Jobs" link on your account page.

How can I view what my listing looks like to the physicians?

You can view your listing as it appears to the residents and fellows by going to our physicians website ("Home") and searching by Job ID number: www.careermd.com/default.aspx

How will candidates contact me?

Interested candidates can email the designated applicant contact directly through our website, by clicking on the "Email this employer" button that is tied to your listing. Candidates can upload their CV and include other relevant contact information in this email. Candidates may also contact you via your phone/fax numbers or your website, if that information is provided in your applicant contact profile or job description.

How can I protect my contact information?

We suggest including as little contact information as possible in the text description of your ad. Candidates can contact you via email directly through our website, so there is no need to type out your email address in the job description of the ad. However, if you would like to provide additional contact information in the job description section, you're welcome to do so.

Are search firms allowed to post on the CareerMD job database?

Yes, search firms are welcome to post vacancies on CareerMD.com. When searching for jobs, physicians have the option to include or exclude search firm opportunities.

Are search firms allowed to contact in-house recruiters using CareerMD's job database?

No. Search firms are prohibited from using CareerMD's job database to contact in-house recruiters. We request that employers notify CareerMD if they are contacted by a search firm through our online job database. Emails can be forwarded to CustomerService@CareerMD.com.

Candidate Database

What information is included in each candidate profile?

All profiles include the candidate's name, email address, current training program, year of transition, citizenship status and geographic preferences. In many cases, a candidate's profile includes a CV, headshot or phone number, and may also include information about medical school and undergraduate education, personal information such as marital status, and possibly additional detail about the candidate's employment preferences.

I am ready to start contacting candidates. How do I subscribe to the service?

To subscribe to the Candidate Database, log in to your CareerMD account and click the "Subscribe Now" link underneath the Candidate Database title. Subscriptions may be purchased in the following increments: 3 months, 6 months, or a full year.

How do I access information about candidates?

You can log in to your CareerMD account at any time and view candidates. Just click the "Search for Candidates (Physicians)" link in the Candidate Database section of your account page.

If I hire a candidate through the Candidate Database, do I have to pay an additional fee?

No. The Candidate Database is a monthly subscription service. The cost is $520 per month. There are no additional fees, even if you hire candidates.

How many physicians are in the CareerMD Candidate Database?

The number of active candidates in the database varies by day. We are constantly adding new candidates and removing those who have already found employment. The current number of candidates in the database can be found here: http://www.careermd.com/employers/candidateProfile.aspx

I contacted one of my matches, and the candidate did not answer my email.

If you contact a candidate and do not receive a reply, we recommend that you follow up at least one time, as residents and fellows have busy schedules and may have missed your first email message. If, however, after two or three attempts, a candidate does not reply, you may conclude that he or she is not interested in your vacancy. CareerMD has no control over whether or not candidates in the database will respond to your emails.

How does CareerMD populate its candidate database?

Candidates enter into the candidate database through numerous channels. Many are residents and fellows who have attended CareerMD Career Fairs across the country. Others are active users of our website.

At $520/month, the CareerMD Candidate Database is far less expensive than other comparable databases. How and why is this?

Most of the candidate data in the CareerMD Candidate Database is self-reported by job-seeking residents and fellows. Because CareerMD does not need to maintain a staff to cold call and interview residents and fellows, we can provide candidate data at a relatively low cost.

CareerMD Virtual Career Fairs

Can you explain the different CareerMD Virtual Fairs?

Specialty-Specific Physician Virtual Career Fairs are hosted in 36 specialties and are a chance to connect with physicians across the country in the specialties you need to fill. Event participation includes the complete candidate lead list and virtual booth.

I have an All Access or Regional Access account with CareerMD. Am I automatically included in Virtual Career Fairs?

As an All Access or Regional Access subscriber, your job listings on CareerMD.com are automatically included in the Physician Specialty-Specific Virtual Career Fairs (and Job Bulletins) based on a “match” between the specialty of your job vacancy and the physician specialty-specific Virtual Career Fair. You are automatically registered for the 24-hour Virtual Fair component of all city-specific Career Fairs, currently being hosted as hybrid events. If you would like to stop by in-person or participate in the power hour, please email CustomerService@CareermD.com. As a Regional Access subscriber, you may stop by any events within your region. For Healthcare or APP Specialty-Specific Virtual Career Fairs, those services are not included with All Access or Regional Access, but you are welcome to register through your CareerMD representative ($600/event). Custom Virtual Fairs are one-day-only events that are exclusive to your organization and are not included with All Access or Regional Access. You may register through your CareerMD account representative (starting at $1,700/event).

What is the format / what is included with my registration?

Your registration entitles you to a Virtual Booth and the lead list of candidates. Candidates will access the virtual platform throughout the day as their schedules allow, allowing for maximum participation. Virtual Fairs are accessed on the candidate side only and your organization is represented via Virtual Booth which CareerMD creates on your behalf, based on information such as your organization’s website, logo, profile, and job vacancies on CareerMD.com. You do not need to be available all day. If candidates choose to reach out, they will email or call you directly. We encourage you to reply to all candidate inquiries, since these are candidates who are currently online and interested in your organization! For Specialty-Specific or APP / Healthcare Virtual Fairs, you will receive the full candidate lead list after the event, including day-of registrations. For City-Specific Career Fairs, the lead list is available upon registration and accessible through your CareerMD account. You also have the option to sign up for 5-minute Recruiter Power Hour presentations or to log into live chat.

What is included in my Virtual Booth?

Your virtual booth will be created by CareerMD and will include information such as your organization’s company profile, job vacancies, logo, recruiter name & contact profile, and more.

When will I receive the candidate lead list?

For the Specialty-Specific MD Virtual Career Fairs, the candidate lead lists are emailed to the Main Administrative Contact on your CareerMD account, two business days after the virtual event. They are also uploaded to your account. Please log into your CareerMD account to download the lists or to view/change the Main Admin Contact. For the hybrid Career Fairs, in-house recruiters have access to the RSVP list upon registration. You may monitor the list in real time before the event and reach out to candidates of interest. After the event, the designated Event Contact / Virtual Booth contact will be emailed the complete list of participating candidates about 1-4 business days after the event date, including full profiles and contact information. These lists are also uploaded to your account. You are welcome & encouraged to reach out to candidates of interest.

Do I need to be available / online during virtual events?

No, you do not need to be available during the Virtual Career Fairs. Your organization will appear via virtual booth. Any interested candidates are able to contact your Main Administrative Contact (or specified Event Contact) via phone call or email.

I see that the Virtual Fairs are hosted all day / 24 hours. Does that mean a candidate might call me anytime of day? Should I respond to emails right away?

While the virtual events are open all day to allow candidates to participate as their schedules allow, most candidates tend to place phone calls during business hours (morning through late afternoon). Other candidates may email you directly. We encourage you to reply to emails or phone calls at your earliest convenience. You do not need to be on "standby" all day, but emails & calls are placed in real time, so the candidate may be online and responsive to a returned email or call. For the hybrid Career Fairs, you may log into live chat any time on the event day so candidates know you’re online and can initiate chat. Candidates are encouraged to use live chat between 5-8pm local time.

If I receive an email inquiry during the Statewide Virtual Career Fair, what will that look like?

The email inquiry will have the subject line "New Lead from Your CareerMD Campaign" and will be sent from "CareerMD System", webbot@CareerMD.com. Leads include the candidate's name, email address, and phone number (optional). We encourage you to reply to leads at your earliest convenience. The submission forms for emails are designed to provide a low barrier for entry, so that candidates are not discouraged by multiple required fields. If you prefer to view the candidate's profile before reaching out (to view specialty, training program, etc) - you may log into your CareerMD account to search the Candidate Database or the RSVP list by first & last name. Candidate Database searches require access to the CareerMD database. RSVP lists are included with your event registration.

Is Live Chat available for Virtual Fairs?

Yes, live chat is now available for the hybrid city-specific Career Fairs. On the event day, log into your CareerMD account and select “Chat with Virtual Event Users” to indicate you are online and available to candidates for live chat. Physicians who visit your booth will have the option to initiate chat with you. While this functionality is available all day, residents and fellows will be encouraged to visit the event for live chat between 5-8pm local time (for weekday Career Fairs) and 10am-1pm local time (Saturday Career Fairs). Please note that not all candidates choose to reach out, and if you are not online, candidates can still contact you via email or phone.
