How the search runs

Chiefs of Staff, medical directors and other physician executive roles are run as retained searches. We start with discovery: the problems the role has to solve and the structure around it. Then we reach physician leaders directly. Because we recruit physicians as well as physician executives, we often know who is ready for a first leadership role before it’s posted. Assessment is structured and built with your selection committee and medical staff in mind, and we stay with you through the offer.

The best physician leaders are rarely looking. They get reached, quietly, by someone who already knows their work. That’s the reach an internal team usually doesn’t have time to build, and it’s where we work alongside your team, not in place of it.
