Why We Start with Discovery Calls (and Candidate Fit Calls)

Posted on 01 April 2025

At DukeMed, we believe meaningful recruitment starts with understanding.

That’s why we begin every relationship with a ‘Discovery Call’ for employers or a ‘Candidate Fit Call’ for candidates —open, impartial discussions to explore your unique needs, challenges, and aspirations.​

What Are Discovery Calls and Candidate Fit Calls?

Discovery Calls and Candidate Fit Calls aren’t your typical recruiter interactions.

They’re open, honest conversations to uncover the real story behind your hiring needs or career aspirations

Employers:

We start with a discovery call to effectively address the perpetual challenges employers like you increasingly face in the competition to secure the right talent.

Before we discuss any professional search and talent services, we take time to understand your business, goals, and pain points through a detailed ‘diagnostic x-ray’ session over Teams or Phone for complete understanding and clarity.

By the end, we’ll know if we’re the right partner and can tailor our services accordingly further tailor our services to meet your needs.

Candidates:

Many job seekers feel like just another name on a recruiter’s list—but not with us.

Candidate Fit Calls are all about you: your experiences, goals, and aspirations.

Whether it’s finding your next job or advancing in your current role, we’ll help you navigate your career path.
