PURPOSE: To assess the hiring activities of radiology groups in 1994 and changes between 1991 and 1994 in the employment market for diagnostic radiologists and radiation oncologists. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Questionnaires about recruitment and hiring were mailed to a stratified random sample of radiology groups in the United States; 92% (341 groups) responded. Data were compared with a 1991 telephone survey that included responses from 150 radiology groups. RESULTS: In 1994, radiology groups sought candidates for approximately 1,600 positions, a 29% decline from 1991. Fifteen percent of positions were in radiation oncology, 52% in general diagnostic radiology, and 33% in diagnostic subspecialties. As in 1991, groups filled three-fourths of their openings. The percentage of openings filled did not differ statistically significantly from one field or subspecialty to another. CONCLUSION: Available positions declined sharply. However, approximately 400 positions remained vacant at the end of the hiring season, with groups still actively recruiting for 75% of them. Employment is about equally difficult regardless of field.
