"Thalamus has truly turned our hectic recruitment season into a joy! We are able to focus more on ensuring we show each applicant why Duke is the place for them, rather than spending it hand-scheduling each applicant.

"I cannot imagine going through interview season without Thalamus! With a program as large as ours, having an online scheduling system in which applicants can schedule and edit their interview dates, allows me the time to manage all the other processes involved with interview season. We conducted over 260 applicant interviews this year; our highest volume year ever! This would not have been possible without Thalamus! Every program needs Thalamus!"

Minimize email, phone calls and other repetitive tasks
"We tried Thalamus for the first time in 2015 and found that it eliminated a tremendous amount of administrative work. It was especially helpful in September when we invited 159 applicants and scheduled almost all of them during a single 24-hour period with just a few clicks and virtually no phone calls or emails. But it was also a big help throughout the interview season as our applicants easily canceled and rescheduled their interviews as needed without having to bother us. Using Thalamus gave us a lot more time to focus on the interview experience and on the day-to-day operations of running a residency program."

Recruit with confidence, because we’ve got your back
Team Thalamus includes former applicants, coordinators and directors who have all lived through decades of GME recruitment. In fact, our entire support team is led by seasoned program coordinators, including those with C-TAGME certification. Built by GME for GME, Team Thalamus are the experts in recruitment.
"One of the best features of Thalamus is its customer support. The team was very responsive to our needs and questions. We also provided suggestions for improvement which they took under advisement and, oftentimes, implemented in their upgrades. It felt like we were helping Thalamus design a software that truly addresses the program coordinators’ needs and wants, instead of having a software that is only partly useful in helping us get our job done. We now have a powerful software, designed with our input, that has features we need the most, as well as many of the features that are nice to have. This unique relationship that Thalamus has established with its users is priceless and makes all the difference!"
