Special Services for Retained Clients

Development of a Search Strategy.
A plan is needed which accounts for various contingencies and accommodates the candidate’s needs as well as incorporating some standardization among candidate presentations.

Working with you to determine approaches and selling points.
We have to agree on what it is that we are selling and how we will present the job.

A search of our extensive database of over 3,500 physicians.
Keep in mind that most databases are only as good as their most recent candidate contact. Our modern, up-to-date database can provide excellent leads.

Hand targeting of appropriate physicians.
This can require pulling the prospective candidates’ names individually from obscure sources. Although is very time consuming we have had good success in attracting appropriate candidates.

Personal letters to each prospective candidate, each addressed by hand.
We have found that this method generates a better response rate than form letters.

Direct sourcing of candidates through intelligent research methods.
Cold calling and “warm-calling” prospective candidates and sources directly is a job for a search professional who understands these techniques and can interest candidates in the job.

Working with you to analyze an executive job for strata, personality and scope.
We believe that it is essential to select a candidate who will have the appropriate capacity for the job. We are one of the few executive search groups to be familiar with Requisite Organization approaches, with which some of you may be familiar.

Applying “Level of Work” ideas to candidate screening interviews.
It is important that the candidate is the right “size” for the job in addition to having all the hard qualifications and the appropriate background and motivation.

Working with the Committee to develop strategies for interviewing and selecting.
To attract a good candidate the phone and site interviews must be done right and the follow up should be sharp. We will help you take a professional approach.

Dedication to the task.
Retained searches have unquestioned priority with our firm. We will be quickly responsive and energetic in our activity to ensure a quick resolution to the search.

Assignment of staff members.
Staff members at appropriate levels will be assigned to the job and more brought in as needed. We have a depth of support staff back up and are easily able to manage searches at any level.

Advertising.
Advertising in relevant journals may be required. We can often use space already booked and thereby get ads in quickly.

Advertising on the web-site.
Candidates should be web-savvy and will want more information available to them on an impersonal basis. A link to your site(s) and a winning presentation of the position on our site will serve the purpose.

Reference Checking
Detailed candidate references will be presented as required and may be suitable for your due diligence requirements.

Assistance with Moving or Relocating
We have the resources to assist with moving companies, realtors, financial issues and other aspects to ease the challenge of moving.

Follow-up
We follow up with candidates and with you after the candidate has begun work to ensure that the fit is satisfactory.
