Can you imagine needing a CPA or attorney and getting a phone call from a marketer? Can you imagine paying a retainer to a law or accounting firm and not meeting the lawyer or CPA doing your work? Can you imagine not knowing if they passed the CPA exam or the Bar? Wouldn't you want to know if they kept up on their continuing education? Can you imagine the marketer for that company calling to tell you that it was going to cost twice what they originally told you?

Of course you can't. When you need the services from a professional firm, you interview the professional, not the marketer. You talk to the CPA and discuss your situation, your position, your desires. You talk about how he or she will approach your relationship. You determine that they have passed the appropriate exams and training for their profession. You choose each other.

This is the way that professionals do business. When you last signed up with a third party physician recruiter did you meet the recruiter before you signed the agreement? Did you choose your recruiter from a list of biographies? Did you even have any input on the choice or the level of experience? Did you ask if they passed the ethics exam for their profession? Did you ask about their training?

In most cases third-party physician recruiters contact you via marketers, get you to sign sometimes a hefty contract and don't introduce you to your recruiter until the ink has long ago dried. Does it make sense? You tell me.
