Six ways to work with us

Healthcare recruitment services for hospitals and health systems

Every healthcare organization is short of someone, and the right fix isn’t always a search. Sometimes it’s one hard-to-fill hire. Sometimes it’s forty hires for a new wing, or a recruitment team that needs a leader for six months. We start with the problem you’re trying to solve, then recommend the model that fits. That might be a mix. Every service is available in both Canada and the United States.

Retained leadership search

For managers, directors, VPs and C-suite roles, clinical and non-clinical, including physician leaders such as Chiefs of Staff, medical directors and Chief Medical Officers. A retained search starts with discovery: we define the role from the problems it has to solve, then build the candidate pool, run a structured assessment and support your committee through selection and offer. Every leadership placement includes six months of coaching with an independent executive coach, starting at selection, and executive placements carry a 12-month guarantee.

Contingent recruitment

For specific clinical, technical and administrative roles: physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, CRNAs, nurses, medical laboratory and medical radiation technologists, clinical IT and more. You pay only when we place someone. It works best when you know the role well and need reach beyond your own postings.

Contract placements

Clinicians, technical staff and leaders on contract, to cover a gap, a leave, a project or a defined term. That includes physician locum coverage.

Project recruiting teams

A hiring surge needs more than one recruiter. Examples: a new build, a bed expansion, a new program, or a backlog of vacancies. We put together a project team of recruiters and a project lead, run it to your volume targets and timeline, and keep your hiring managers informed throughout. When the project ends, we hand the process back to your team in better shape than we found it.

Fractional recruitment leadership

Kevin, part time, as your head of recruitment. He has done this inside hospitals and as a consultant: building recruitment infrastructure, setting up process and reporting, coaching your recruiters, and recruiting or in-sourcing alongside them. It suits organizations that need senior recruitment leadership but not a full-time hire, or that are between leaders.

Fractional and project engagements are where our hiring numbers climb. Our search work produces 20+ permanent placements a year, and recruiting at volume alongside a client’s team adds many more.

Recruitment consulting and project teams

Fixing the system that does the hiring:

  • Recruiting plans for a role, a program or a whole workforce
  • Applicant tracking system (ATS) selection and implementation
  • Text recruiting rollout
  • Process redesign to cut time-to-hire without cutting corners
  • Recruiter training, including subject-matter training on clinical and technical roles
  • Hiring manager partnership and status reporting, so managers always know where their vacancy stands
  • Employer branding and social media, working with designers where needed

What every engagement has in common

Healthcare only

We know how one vacancy affects every other position around it.

Communication

You’ll always know where things stand. We work hard at this.

Candidates treated as people

With onboarding and support after the hire, so they stay and grow with you.
