We arrange to meet with key management who will be involved in the recruitment of the position. We suggest a key contact person be designated to arrange these meetings for us. We will coordinate meetings and maintain regular communications with this contact person throughout the search process. The purpose of these scheduled meetings is to assess the expectations of your organization's key leadership involved in the search.
Outlining Specifications
Following these meetings, we will write a report outlining the goals, objectives, expectations and
specifications communicated to us. We will share this information with you and answer any questions you
may have concerning its content. We will communicate any issues that may become problems as the search
progresses. Once the assessment is completed and the search specifications adopted, the report will be
used as a guideline in conducting the search.
Identifying Candidates
We will research candidates in a number of ways, but our primary contacts will be through an established
network of healthcare professionals throughout the country who will refer interested and qualified candidates
for the position. Once candidates have been identified and appropriately screened through an individual
interview, a meeting will be scheduled with you to review candidates. We will discuss each candidate's
background, experience and personal characteristics, and will show you a videotaped summary for each
candidate interviewed.
Narrowing the Search
At this candidate review meeting, you will have the opportunity to ask questions about the candidates. The
goal of the meeting is to select candidates, perhaps three or four, for individual personal interview at your
facility. We will work closely with you to insure coordination of schedules and the process for candidate
interviews. Once candidates have had their initial interview, we will work with you to facilitate the
selection of one or two finalists for further interviews. Comprehensive professional references will be
obtained and submitted in writing prior to candidate's final interview. Additionally, academic degrees will
be verified.
The Final Selection
We will assist you to make sure the interview process goes well for each candidate, thereby maximizing the
likelihood for a successful search. We will share salary information on the candidates and help prepare you
and the final candidate for compensation discussions. Our goal is to give you the information needed to make
the appropriate compensation offer and maximize the chances that the final candidate is prepared to accept
that offer. We will assist you in the compensation negotiations when necessary.
