Overview
A renowned multi-specialty healthcare provider in Karnataka, known for pioneering work in Nephrology, Urology, and Fertility (IVF) for over 25 years, approached Hiringlabs with a critical hiring need. The hospital has an established legacy of medical breakthroughs—including Karnataka’s first successful kidney transplantation and advanced flexible endoscopy integration in Urology.
As part of their expansion and efforts to enhance diagnostic excellence, the hospital was urgently seeking a highly qualified MD Radiologist for their Shivamogga location—a semi-urban medical hub in Karnataka.
The Challenge
- Talent Scarcity in Tier-2 Cities: Finding super-specialized talent like MD Radiologists in non-metro locations such as Shivamogga posed a significant challenge due to limited candidate interest in relocating to semi-urban zones.
- Specialized Requirement: The client needed a radiologist with not only strong diagnostic capabilities but also someone who could integrate seamlessly with nephrology, fertility, and urology departments, supporting complex cross-functional cases.
- Urgency in Hiring: The absence of a resident radiologist was causing diagnostic delays, impacting patient experience and operational efficiency.
- Employer Branding Gaps: Despite the client’s stellar track record in innovation and patient care, they had limited digital employer branding in the medical hiring ecosystem, making it harder to attract passive talent.
Our Approach
Hiringlabs took a structured and multi-pronged approach to solve the problem:
1. Deep Requirement Analysis
- Conducted an in-depth briefing session with department heads to understand the technical, interpersonal, and location-based expectations.
- Studied case volume, radiology tech stack (PACS systems, imaging modalities), and integration points with nephrology and IVF teams.
2. Targeted Talent Mapping
- Activated our pan-India medical professional database and niche job boards.
- Focused on candidates from similar hospital ecosystems or those originally from Karnataka open to moving closer to their hometowns.
3. Strong Value Positioning

- Career growth through multi-disciplinary exposure
- Hand-held conversations with potential candidates to bridge perception gaps about working in tier-2 cities.
4. Speed + Precision
- Shortlisted only 4 highly relevant MD Radiologists, carefully vetted across skill, motivation, and location preference.
- Conducted interview coordination, documentation checks, and relocation consultation to streamline the process.
Outcome
- The client successfully onboarded a highly experienced MD Radiologist within 4 weeks.
- The new hire is now actively contributing to cross-specialty diagnostic efforts, especially in IVF imaging and renal diagnostics.
- Patient wait times for diagnostics dropped, improving care delivery metrics and boosting internal team confidence.
