4. THE HEALTHCARE INITIATIVE APPROACH
Leveraging our experience and industry expertise along with the leadership and innovation of
The HealthCare Initiative, we’ve been able to develop a number of methods for efficiently pinpointing the
people who can become the heart of your business.
Our Steps for Success: Identify,Attract, Qualify and Deliver!
What it means for you is that we can provide a customized, streamlined process to help you target your
next impact player – and deliver them at the pace your business demands.
Some recruiters try to slow the process, while others move too quickly.The result is often a long wait with
few results, or worse: a body hired by your organization that adds little to your team. Our methods focus
on delivering effective and optimum results for clients and candidates. We have one thing in mind, to
consistently deliver to you that top 20% of candidates – the kind that make a real impact on your business
– that are right for your position and your company.
We accomplish this by performing a sequence of steps, which are customized based on your company’s
unique hiring needs and problems, in a professional, personal and expeditious manner. And these steps
aren’t performed by just any recruiter but by our recruiters, recruiters that are skilled professionals, experts
in your industry and schooled by The HealthCare Initiative.
Although the specific sequence of steps performed for your search will be tailored to meet your needs,
below is a summary of the types of activities they are likely to involve:
Needs analysis and strategic recruiting plan development
Position profile development and compatibility assessment
In-depth candidate research, screening and interviewing
Interview planning and qualified candidate presentation
Interviewing skills training
Client and candidate interview debriefs
Confidential reference checks
Counter-offer consulting
Offer preparation and closing
Client and new hire follow-up

5. EXECUTIVE SEARCH
When you need a high level position filled with the best person for the job-,not just the best of the unemployed,
unhappy or disgruntled- our team of experienced search consultants will leave no stone unturned.
Our method is “old-school”, we spend thousands of hours annually talking to happily employed healthcare
leaders. This allows us to know who to contact with your opportunity. Our current database of over 50,000
healthcare leaders is the result of decades of work. We have long standing relationships with many of the
top healthcare executives in the country.
The ideal candidates are most likely NOT looking for
a new position, rather they are busy (and engaged)
going above and beyond the expectations of their
current employer. This is where we come in.
The trust we build with our candidate pool allows you to eventually compete for their talent. These leaders
won’t be found on a job board or responding to any advertisement. IF they are open to something new,
they certainly want to keep their search confidential.
By having numerous conversations with these “A-Players” throughout the year, we know what motivates
them, we know what they wish they had in their current job, we know what would entice them to look at a
new organization. Our job is to get them to consider working forYOU. Once we get to that point we work
together throughout the process to continue to entice them to move to your winning team.
Our engaged search model has a 95+% success rate as we don’t stop until we get your position filled!

6. INTERIM PLACEMENT
Short-term solutions for long-term goals. In today’s business environment, companies must rely on a variety
of staffing solutions to meet their growing needs. Interim placement is an ideal solution when a fast hiring
process is needed for critical leadership positions. Our quick turn-around time will ensure you have the
proven leader you seek within weeks.
Whether you need a vacancy covered immediately or you are seeking a consultant to analyze, advise,
and implement change affecting department and organization success- Interim placement is an effective
solution with exceptional value.
The initial commitment can be as short as a 3 month time frame, with the opportunity to extend the
candidate on an as needed basis. We make it easy should you eventually decide to hire the candidate on
a permanent basis.
It’s about time: The average time to identify and present a slate of candidates for an Interim
opportunity is 3-5 days. And the average start time for the chosen candidate is within 2 weeks,
sometimes sooner.
It’s about talent: Our network consists of highly skilled leaders, strictly in the world of healthcare.
Typically Interim candidates are “Change Agents” who have worked in a variety of settings from
Critical Access Hospitals, Community Hospitals, Multi-site Health Systems, and Ambulatory Care Settings.
It’s about trust: Your best interest is our best interest. You can trust our qualification process, our
deliverability, and most of all, our client references
