Your Questions, Answered.

Answers to what we hear most from physicians and health systems.

  • Item description

  • No. Our fee is paid by the hiring health system or practice, never by the candidate. Working with FCP costs you nothing.

  • We stay engaged well past your start date — through contract review, relocation questions, and your first year on the job. Our goal isn't just to get you placed; it's to make sure the placement is one you're still glad about a year in.

  • We focus exclusively on cardiology and cardiovascular subspecialties, including interventional, structural, electrophysiology, advanced heart failure, and general cardiology.

  • We don't share your CV or discuss your candidacy with any organization without your explicit permission first. You control which opportunities you're presented for.

  • No. We regularly talk with fellows who are early in the process and just want to understand the market — there's no obligation.

  • Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.

  • Our searches are led by a physician with current, hands-on training in cardiology. That means we can evaluate subspecialty fit, procedural experience, and practice-setting compatibility in a way a generalist staffing firm typically can't.

  • A search engagement covers a defined, focused search for your open position — from initial needs assessment through candidate vetting, presentation, and support through offer negotiation and start date.

  • Every placement includes a replacement guarantee period. If a placement doesn't work out within that window, we run a new search at no additional placement fee.

  • Timelines vary by subspecialty and market, but our focused approach — versus a generalist recruiter juggling multiple specialties — is built to move faster than industry-average physician searches.

  • No. We work with health systems, private practices, and smaller regional groups — our approach scales to the size of the search, not just the size of the organization.
