T
he success of hospita ls a nd
other healthcare facilities is
directly related to the quality of
their employees. The Cleveland Clinic
Foundation has tips for finding the
best candidates.
1. Define the role. When seeking
employment, physicians are essentially
shopping for the right opportunity.
Before courting potential candidates,
clearly define key components of each
position, including compensation and
job description.
2. Build a relationship. Establish
clear, informative communication early
on. Promptly pursue candidates with a
phone call, and schedule interviews as
soon as possible.
3. Keep candidates informed. Let
potential employees know exactly what
to expect throughout the recruitment
process. Share details such as whether
casual or more formal dress is appropri-
ate for a dinner meeting, as well as
plans for transporting the candidate
to the gathering.
4. Recap key points. At the end
of the interview, review details such
as benefits and compensation. This
is also an opportunity to discuss the
time frame of the selection process.
5. Follow up and act as a resource.
Once you have found the optimal fit
for the position, stay in regular contact
to offer support as your new provider
transitions to a possibly unfamiliar
community and place of business. Offer
guidance as he or she makes transi-
tions such as securing a state license
and fi nding housing. ■
