Who Does It Hurt?
-Wanda Parker, Chair NAPR Internet Web Panel

Who does it hurt when members breach their World Job Bank User Agreement?

You have paid for a World Job Bank subscription as a source of additional candidates for your company’s clients. It would seem fairly innocuous to market your company’s other services (estate planning, insurance, medical licensure, practice valuation, etc.) to those same physicians, would it not? (What are the consequences when the physician expected a few contacts regarding practice opportunities and he or she receives hundreds of e-mails and calls about a variety of services?)

Or, you are working closely with another search firm on a split and download physician names and send them to your split partner, without having spoken to the physician—it saves time, does it not? (What are the consequences when the split recruiter adds the physicians’ names to a database and forwards the names to multiple recruiters he or she is working with?)

What harm could there be in sharing your username and password with a colleague in another search firm? (What are the consequences when that recruiter downloads unlimited information about physician registrants or worse yet, shares your username and password with multiple other recruiters?)

Each of these scenarios breaches the User Agreement members have signed. It violates the confidentiality the NAPR has promised the physician registrants of the World Job Bank, because their names have been referred without their permission. It also subjects them to volumes of unsolicited e-mail and/or phone calls.

Who does it hurt? It hurts each and every member who has paid to participate in the World Job Bank because it dilutes the candidate pool and destroys the integrity of the database. The User Agreement members have signed is a contract by which they have agreed to abide, anything less denigrates the industry.

A Web Panel which has been in existence for several years investigates alleged breaches of the User Agreement. If found guilty of a breach, violators could face suspension from the World Job Bank, expulsion from the NAPR, a financial penalty and possibly an Ethics sanction. But why talk about the negatives? Let us all work together, within the rules and take advantage of the abundance of doctors the NAPR provides to us.
