Why Fast Employment Offers Matter in Ophthalmology & Optometry Recruitment.

Practices Must Make Sure Candidates Know They’re Interested in Them After a Site Visit.

In today’s competitive ophthalmology and optometry recruitment market, the biggest mistake a practice can make is waiting too long to extend an offer after a site visit. At OjO Recruitment Agency, we speak with ophthalmologists and optometrists nationwide every day, and one trend is unmistakable: timing is everything when you’re trying to hire a new physician.

Delayed Offers Cost Practices Great Ophthalmology & Optometry Candidates
When an ophthalmologist or optometrist completes a site visit, they’re energized. They’ve met your team, they’re evaluating your culture and are imagining what their future might look like in your practice.

But when days pass without communication or an offer, the message (even unintentionally) becomes clear:

“We’re not sure we want you.”

In the absence of communication, candidates interpret silence as disinterest. And in a tight national market for ophthalmologists and O.D.s, that silence pushes candidates toward other jobs or partnership positions, competing offers, private equity opportunities, or conversations with other recruiters.

The Doctor Hiring Market Moves Fast — Candidates Do, Too
There are far more open positions than available ophthalmologists and optometrists, which means candidates are usually comparing multiple offers and opportunities simultaneously. A slow hiring process signals organizational inefficiency, uncertainty, or lack of enthusiasm — all are red flags for physicians exploring great positions.

We see practices lose top-tier candidates simply because another employer moved faster.

Fast Offers Build Trust and Reflect a Healthy, Organized Practice Culture
A prompt offer — ideally within 24–72 hours of the site visit — communicates professionalism, genuine interest, and strong leadership. It shows candidates that your practice:

Makes decisions efficiently
Values physicians’ time
Operates with clarity and intention
Is serious about bringing the right ophthalmologist or optometrist on board
This level of responsiveness stands out in eyecare recruiting, where candidates often feel rushed by some practices and ignored by others.

You Don’t Need Every Detail Finalized to Make an Offer
Many practices hesitate because their compensation model, partnership timeline, or call schedule needs one more internal conversation. But candidates do not expect a perfect package on day one — they just need to know you want them on your team.

You can keep momentum alive by:

Extending a verbal offer immediately
Sharing a written draft soon after
Explaining the next steps in the approval process
Setting expectations clearly and professionally
This approach helps you compete in a market where ophthalmology and optometry candidates evaluate offers quickly and make decisions even faster.

Move Quickly or Another Practice Will
Here’s the bottom line:

If you don’t extend an offer quickly, another practice will.

Fast communication is no longer optional — it’s a strategic advantage. A timely offer keeps great candidates engaged, reduces competition, shortens your hiring timeline, and dramatically increases your chances of securing the MD/DO or O.D. you want.

New Grad O.D.s -Want to Land Your Dream Optometry Job? Lead with the Value You’ll Bring, Not Just Questions About Pay.
One of the best parts of my job as a recruiter is talking with young optometrists in training who are just starting the job search process. Their energy, excitement, and fresh perspectives are inspiring. But every now and then, I notice a theme that holds some of these new grad O.D.s back.

When they chat or Zoom with a potential employer, the first questions they ask are often about pay, PTO, relocation help, or signing bonuses. Now, don’t get me wrong — those are important. You worked hard and sacrificed mightily to become a doctor, and you absolutely deserve to be compensated well. Many young optometrists are saddled with high student loan debt and so they feel pressured to get out of debt quickly. This pressure is real. But here’s the thing: When the majority of your questions are centered around what you’ll get, you may miss the chance to show employers what they really want to know — What you’ll bring to the practice.

Shift the Conversation: From “What do I get?” to “How can I help?”

Imagine the impression you’ll make if, instead of focusing on compensation and what you’ll get out of the employer : employee relationship, you begin by talking about how your particular skills, training and enthusiasm can contribute to this organization.

Strong clinical knowledge and judgement.
Experience with the latest technology.
New ideas, positivity and excitement (New Grad O.D.s have these in abundance!).
Knowledge of the latest treatment protocols.
Decreased patient wait times and backlogs with the addition of a new provider (That’s you!).
How you’ll connect with patients and help them feel truly cared for.
Better online reviews because patients will know you genuinely care about their eye health.
Keeping patients loyal, long-term because of your chairside manner.
How you’ll free up ophthalmologists to focus on more complex patients and perform more surgeries.
That’s the kind of conversation that makes an employer sit up and think, “This doctor gets it!”

And here’s the best part: Proving your value doesn’t have to be complicated. Share real stories from externships or residency training that demonstrate your capabilities and strengths.

Did you help a nervous patient feel comfortable during an exam?
Did you learn how to work seamlessly with techs, scribes, or optical staff?
Do you have great references from faculty along with other ophthalmologists (if applicable)
Do you have a special interest in dry eye, myopia control, specialty lenses or another niche that could help the practice grow or meet an unmet need in their local marketplace?
These are the kinds of details that show an employer you’re not just looking for a job- you’re looking a career opportunity.

The Bonus? Compensation and Contract Conversations & Negotiations Are Smoother and Less Stressful.

Here’s a little secret from the recruitment world: When employers see that you’re genuinely invested in their success, the compensation talks go much smoother. They’re a lot more casual and a lot less tense. Why? Because you’ve already demonstrated your worth and how you can contribute to the organization. You’re no longer just “an applicant” — you’re a future teammate they’ll want to hire.

The Takeaway

Yes, ask about salary and benefits. You deserve to be paid market rate. But let that part of the conversation come after you’ve painted a picture of the value you’ll add to your future employer. If you focus less on what you’ll get and more on how you’ll contribute, you’ll stand out – and you’ll be well on your way to landing not just a job, but the right career opportunity.
