Questions to ask any recruiting provider
Evaluate the provider against your actual role and hospital requirements. Request clear answers and written terms rather than relying on a generic ranking.
- Who sources candidates and what screening is performed?
- What will our practice need to do during the search?
- What becomes payable if the search does not result in a hire?
Prepare the role brief
Write down the information a candidate needs to evaluate the position before the search begins.
- Specify the surgical discipline and credentials required.
- Document theatre access, imaging, anesthesia support and equipment.
- Clarify case ownership, referrals and perioperative responsibilities.
