Baker, Ellerd & Associates, Inc. is the premier recruiting agency for doctors seeking employment in California. Since we opened our doors in 1968, we have placed over 5,000 physicians with medical groups, hospitals, clinics, multi-specialty groups, uni-specialty groups and private doctors throughout the state.

We place physicians––primary care and all specialties––on a full time, part time or locum tenens basis. If we do not have a current opening that a doctor is seeking, we also specialize in custom searches.

Because we operate exclusively in California, we have been able to establish long-standing relationships with hundreds of medical clients, including a strong concentration in the greater Southern California area. Many of our clients have relied on us for twenty, even thirty years. What that says to candidates is that our performance record in the area of placement is very strong and consistent.

Our candidates really appreciate the fact that we take the time to get acquainted with them. This small gesture actually pays big dividends, as we are able to zero in on exactly what the candidate is about and what he or she is looking for. As a result, we have created more overall satisfaction with the recruiting process than any other company placing physicians in California––on both sides of the recruiting equation.

“As a large medical group, at times we need to recruit and hire Physicians, Physician Assistants or Nurse Practitioners. For many years Baker,Ellerd and Associates has been our placement service of choice. Working with Ken and Rosemary is always a pleasant experience; they are diligent, professional and have consistently provided us with quality candidates for hire. It is without reservation that I recommend the services of Baker,Ellerd and Associates."
