In this episode, I'll introduce you to a new and revolutionary job search and recruiting firm founded by physicians grown by physician referrals.

It's physician to physician peer mediated job search and recruiting.

You've never seen anything like it.

I'll show you all of the unique features of this new company and its physician founder.

Hello and welcome to the latest episode of the Stop Physician Burnout podcast, a physician physician leadership podcast where you will learn the skills so that we can join together and lead the charge to physician well being.

Skills to earn the respect of your colleagues in the front line.

Skills to exercise true influence in the C suite and take back your job, your practice, your career and your life.

All of these tools have been proven effective in my 40,000doctor physician coaching and training practice.

And if I know one thing, I know you're super busy.

So let's get started.

In this Black Friday edition of the Stop Position Burnout podcast, you will discover some new developments in the recruiting industry that you're not going to like where they're actually stealing part of your first year salary when you take a new position.

I'll also show you a new physician founded and led peer to peer recruiting and job search company and we'll talk all about the revolutionary features that are going to make you want to register right away.

I expect this company to be very popular in the years ahead because it takes everything that's wrong about the recruiting industry now and flips it into everything that's right.

Check it out.

Okay, Doug German here on our Black Friday episode of 2024.

I'm here with Zen Chen who's the co founder of Grapevine G R A P E V Y N E, which is a new peer driven job board and recruiting service for physicians.

And it's got such a revolutionary design and revenue model.

You have to hear about it and I think you're going to want to participate.

Just a quick note, I have no financial relationship with Zen or.

Fine.

Okay.

I'm not being paid to share this information with you, Zen.

Tell me what's going on in the recruiting industry that made you a and your team want to found this company now and build it in this way?

Yeah, there's been a lot of dissatisfaction from both the employer side and the physician side with traditional recruitment.

It's inefficient, it's ineffective and it's very costly.

And there's not a lot of trust with traditional recruitment when it comes to physicians.

So that's where we see that timing wise, this is a really Great product.

Let physicians drive the process.

Let physicians make some money out of it too, and take that power in medicine.

Now, most of us know that when a recruiting company brings in a physician and they sign for a new job position, they get paid a fee for that.

A headhunt, we call it a headhunting fee.

Right, but you were telling me yesterday when we first met that there's another way that they're grabbing money away from the doctor who signed the contract behind, behind the closed door and you don't even know about it.

Tell us about this new practice of compensating recruiters.

Yeah.

So there is a commission based structure that is a percentage of the future one year salary of the physician.

Oftentimes that can range from 15% to 30%.

Now you can imagine an employer juggling how much to pay a headhunter versus how much salary to provide that future physician.

Well, I'm going to be a little more aggressive about stating that that's actually the headhunter stealing your first year salary and you're not going to know about it unless you ask.

And even then they might not divulge.

So let's go over some of the unique features of this peer to peer referral system.

Tell us how it works.

If I want to put myself up as a candidate, tell us how it works, referring my friends, all that stuff.

So I'll go through the full workflow.

Employers that want to list their job with us, they contract with us.

And we actually specifically designed that job post to be tailored to that specialty, as detailed as possible, so that a physician in that specialty, when they see the job post, they have as much information as they possibly need and want.

And we include information like neighborhood walkability scores, average home values, public schools.

Because we see physician jobs as closer to buying a new home than your average transferring between, let's say two remote tech jobs, so to speak.

Once that job is posted, all of our members have access to see those jobs and can use either if they like it themselves apply, or if they think that they have a peer that is a good fit for it, they can click the refer button.

And just like Uber Instacart, any of these kinds of companies that have referral codes creates a personalized link for you.

And when your friend or colleague or family member sees that post, they think that they're interested.

Based on this comprehensive job post, they can apply.

And as they apply and go through the various milestones of the hiring process, you as the person who referred them, can actually get significant cash payouts for each Milestone what that means?

What, what are you talking about?

Cash payments for my referral signing up.

Are you kidding me?

So does it cost me anything to register as a potential job applicant on the site and get started?

We do not have you pay to register for the site.

It's absolutely free for physicians to sign on.

It's a great fund.

If you refer a friend and they end up, even they don't have to sign a contract if they end up taking steps in the application process, you get paid and these are your friends.

So this is a true peer to peer referral network with payments to you as a participant in all stages of the process.

Correct.

Wahoo, brother.

So real quick, Zen is an example of physician leadership outside of traditional clinical practice serving a need in the marketplace.

And I think that you will agree with what you just heard just now, what you just heard.

Register as a potential applicant.

Refer friends.

They step through the process, you get paid.

So it's friends referring friends into specifically curated and mounted job positions done by a doctor.

Zen, tell them what you're board certified in.

Of course I'm board certified in pediatrics and I'm still practicing as a pediatrician.

There you go.

So we got, we got a real mensch.

A real mensch at the, at the throttle.

And Zen is also hip deep in the practice of creating this company right now.

So you're working to get people to sign up on the network, you're working to get job listings into the network growing fast.

And this is everything that's wrong about recruiting flipped on its head into everything that's right.

What do you want our people to know?

Where do they need to go?

How do they register?

How do they refer friends?

What's, what's the skinny?

The best place to go is our website, Grapevine Health.

That's Grapevine spelled with a Y, G, R, a P, E, V, Y, N, E Health.

You can sign up as a physician.

It's verified right now by an mpi.

And once you're on the platform, you can see all the jobs that are posted there and either apply to them yourself or, or if you know someone that is a good fit, you can refer them as well.

So if I refer somebody and they.

Take a step, you can get paid $25 right now.

If they finish the interview process, you get paid 150.

If they get hired, you get paid two grand.

So at last you potentially have a friend in the headhunter industry because he's not hunting your head.

He's trying to provide you with a quality opportunity amongst Friends and spread the network based upon friendship and affiliation with you and your colleagues in your specialty, giving you higher quality job listings.

It's cheaper for the employer to fill the position.

You get more of your salary back rather than stealing it off the back end.

And it's just among friends so you don't have to deal with butthead recruiters anymore.

Right?

Look at him.

Look at that ponum.

He's going to be your buddy, get you in the network and multiplying the power of the network over time.

Because I think as people understand what grapevine is, we're going to have a robust number of people in the pool of applicants and a robust number of job opportunities because it's just an easier process for the employer.

And let me just remind everybody, it's a great job market and it's only going to get better because of the collapse of the physician workforce that we're in the early stages of here in 2024.

And now back to the show.

Let's wrap it up.

So, Zen Chan Greatvine Health.

G R A P E V Y N E Health.

Go register.

Any last words?

Zen?

We just wanted to tell everybody that we believe this is the right way to recruit.

We're driving trust, we're driving transparency.

We're not selling off your data to anybody.

We think that this peer to peer model is the way to bring back some of that ownership in medicine to the physician community.
