We bring a wide array of resources to bear in fulfilling your search. They are used in a process that is results driven and flexible. It is organized, comprehensive, and disciplined. Frequent, truthful communication, with appropriate documentation, occurs throughout the process.

Organizational Analysis

At the start, we pay careful attention to learning your business and culture: history, style, values, pressure, problems, decision making process, etc. This leads to a thorough understanding of the technical expertise, personality, motivation, breadth of vision, adaptability, managerial style, and other characteristics required for the candidate's superior long-term performance.

Identification

We then identify potential candidates for each search through our research department, incorporating our computerized database, information files, nationwide network of health care contacts, and comprehensive library, among other resources.

Next, we package the position and present it to prospective candidates in a way that arouses interest, even in those not considering a career move.

Evaluation

Having piqued their interest, we then conduct rigorous face-to-face interviews and probing reference analysis on the qualified candidates that emerge. We pursue and present to you only those candidates well suited to your position and interested in considering it.

Selection

In the closing stages of each search we are positioned to effectively mediate, facilitate, and negotiate as your agent. Often we employ customized elements, such as designing a specialized rating mechanism for a search committee. This phase leads to an offer and acceptance. Periodic follow-up occurs in the succeeding year.
