A Health Care Recruiter with a Wealth of
Health Care Leadership Expertise
When you engage Leaders For Today, our first step is to conduct a candid interview to effectively assess your organizational needs and priorities. Together, we compile a list of specific goals for the interim health care professional. These goals are incorporated into the contract of the person you hire and are used to ensure that your priorities are addressed and your needs are met throughout the engagement.
Once we understand your needs, our health care recruiters review potential candidates. We consider technical capabilities, management style, and experience with the specific challenges your organization faces. After our internal review, we present the best candidates to you.
With your approval, we then set up appropriate interviews. Once you select a candidate, we manage contract negotiations for you. We generally complete the process in just three to five days.
Of course, filling your health care management vacancy is just the beginning. We monitor the performance of your interim manager throughout the engagement and offer counsel to both of you to ensure you receive maximum value from the relationship. When needed, we draw on our experts in human resources, operations, finance, and clinical specialties to help the interim tackle specific challenges.
Finally, at the conclusion of the assignment, we have an independent consultant conduct unbiased exit interviews with you and the health care interim to ensure your satisfaction.
When Do You Need Interim Management Staffing?
Interim health care management can be an excellent solution to a number of organizational challenges. They include:
- Maintaining current operations. Using an interim to keep your organization running smoothly can eliminate the pressure to hire a permanent executive too hastily. Leaders For Today interim candidates offer an average of 20 years of experience in their fields, along with graduate degrees and strong professional affiliations, so you can be sure your staff is in good hands.
- Mentoring junior staffers. Securing a very seasoned health care executive for a limited-term assignment is an excellent, cost-effective way to bring talented staff members to the next level. Through our Reference 360™ process, Leaders For Today vets candidates with individuals who have worked for them in the past—to assess our candidates' leadership skills “from the bottom up.”
- Tapping into superior expertise. Interim health care professionals provide a cost-effective way to tackle specific organizational challenges. They also extend the pool of administrative talent available to healthcare organizations in rural areas. Leaders For Today maintains strong relationships with candidates eager to accept interim placements in any part of the country.
- Re-engineering operations and providing transitional leadership. Because they are drawn from outside a client organization, interim health care executives can be effective—and objective—change agents. Leaders For Today carefully screens candidates to identify those who are best suited for this important role.
Remember, the characteristics of the health care interim you hire may be different from those of a permanent hire. Talking to us about your specific interim management needs will help ensure that we select the most appropriate individual for your immediate needs.
