The specialty market
Why this specialty search is difficult
Credentialed registrars are few, often hybrid or remote, and already employed. Facility type (academic, community, NCI, CoC), case volume, and EMR/registry software all narrow the pool further.
When focused search matters
When employers engage Med-Hunters
Accreditation pressure, a vacant CTR seat, backlog in abstraction, or a new cancer program standing up a registry.
Direct search
How Med-Hunters runs the search
We screen for CTR/ODS credential, facility type, software, remote vs. onsite, and case-mix experience before a candidate is presented.
Common questions
Specialty Recruiting FAQ
Do you recruit non-credentialed registrars?
When a program can train toward CTR, we can discuss it. Most searches require an active CTR/ODS credential because of CoC and state reporting requirements.

What people say about working with Med-Hunters
Read more testimonialsCindyThe purpose of this letter is to serve as a recommendation for working with Med-Hunters As Director of Clinical Operations for an 11 physician medical oncology practice, I frequently work with professional healthcare recruiters to find qualified candidates for vacancies. Over the past several years, Med-Hunters has provided me with qualified candidates, many of whom have been hired. They consistently are thorough with their prequalification of all candidates to ensure that only the best resumes are presented to me for consideration. They are very respectful of my time as their client, and I believe they are one of the best medical recruiters that I have had the opportunity to work with. Certainly, when I have a staffing need, Med-Hunters is the first medical recruiting firm that I contact. I highly recommend Med-Hunters, and believe that they will provide excellent service for your medical professional recruitment needs..
