Test Drive Your Next Leader

By Jeff Souza, BSN, Chief Executive Officer, Leaders For Today 

In a world with few guarantees, it’s reassuring to know there is a hiring model out there that provides a safety net for healthcare employers. Employers and professionals alike realize that trying a position on for size before taking the plunge helps each side envision the future with more confidence and accuracy, trading surprises for realistic expectations.

When an important position remains open for any length of time, two things happen. First, someone within the organization ends up doing two jobs while a search for a replacement gets underway, unless of course an interim is engaged. Next, as the search extends from one or two months, to six or eight, compromise can creep in. The education, skills and level of experience that were required when the job was first posted, take a dive. The search for the elusive healthcare leader with a master’s degree and 10 years of acute-care facility experience somehow gets reframed and candidates with only bachelor’s degrees, and maybe four to six years of experience are suddenly considered. That's when hiring an interim professional makes good business sense.
