What would you ask for from the hospital as a fee for recruiting a new anesthesiologist? I have a friend who is a fantastic candidate and will no doubt be hired. Before presenting him to the dept I wanted to ask for some kind of recruiting incentive. The hospital-based recruiters get a % for each successful recruit, so I feel I should be entitled to the same.

From my limited understanding, recruiters receive around $10,000 per anesthesiologist they bring in. That's why recruiters never lose your number. It's a side hustle for soccer moms, real estate agents, and fitness trainers.
