Most practice managers don’t realise this… posting a job ad on SEEK or similar platforms only connects you with the active market candidates who are already searching for a new role at that exact moment. While this approach can generate applications, it often misses a critical segment of the workforce.

In healthcare and medical administration, the highest-performing professionals are typically already employed, settled and excelling in their roles. They are not browsing job boards or actively applying for positions yet they may still be open to the right opportunity if it aligns with their career goals, location and lifestyle needs.

So, how do you reach this hidden talent pool?

Going Beyond the Database

At Litton Andrews, recruitment goes far beyond traditional advertising. We maintain strong, ongoing relationships with high-calibre professionals what we call our “Inner Circle.” These are individuals who often say:

“I’m happy where I am… but if the right specialist surgical role opens up close to home, call me.”

These candidates are not visible through standard job ads. They represent the “passive 10%” a highly valuable group that many practices simply cannot access on their own.

A Proactive, Headhunting Approach

Relying solely on job ads means waiting and hoping the right candidate applies. In contrast, our approach is proactive. We actively engage, identify and approach the right talent on your behalf often before they have even considered making a move.

Think of it this way – a job ad is like casting a wide net into the ocean you catch whatever happens to swim by. At Litton Andrews, we take a more targeted approach. We know where the best talent is and we go directly to them.

Partnering for Better Hiring Outcomes

Your practice deserves more than chance-based recruitment. By working with a specialised medical recruitment partner, you gain access to a broader, more qualified talent pool including candidates your competitors may never reach.

If you are ready to tap into the passive market and secure the best medical administration talent Brisbane has to offer, it may be time for a different approach.
