A hiring plan is more useful when each stage has an owner and a dependency. Identify delays the employer can resolve without promising an outcome outside its control.
- Reserve interview availability before candidate introductions.
- Assign credential and reference-check responsibilities.
- Allow for candidate notice periods, relocation and start-date agreement.
Prepare the role brief
Write down the information a candidate needs to evaluate the position before the search begins.
- List the hospitals and travel expectations within the role.
- Define authority across clinical quality, people and operational decisions.
- Agree reporting relationships and how hospital leaders will be supported.
