Description

Guidry & East has provided Healthcare Recruitment Services since 1983. Our clients include investor-owned, not-for-profit and church affiliated hospitals, medical groups, and medical centers, both Domestic and International. Guidry & East assists hospitals and healthcare organizations in the recruitment of mid-management and senior level executives. The healthcare industry has undergone significant change over the past decade, both structurally and in management requirements. Guidry & East has responded by working even harder to present candidates that can successfully meet the challenges posed by this evolving industry. Guidry & East plays a key role in the search process by identifying candidates whose career objectives parallel those of the client organization. The retainer agreement with our client organizations ensures a dedicated, selective process that will meet these criteria, unlike that experienced with contingency placements. All candidate inquiries and submitted credentials are held in the strictest confidence and retained for possible, future engagements when positions are not currently available. Today's healthcare or medical managers have new and expanded roles that require flexibility and a broad range of skills. Senior management must focus on business strategies and decisions that both increase revenues, reduce operating expenses, and sustain or expand profitability, while upholding the mission of the organization. Similar search protocols are used for each Guidry & East engagement, regardless of the position and its role within the client organization. Extensive research and sourcing techniques are used to identify and select the appropriate candidate. National search engines and websites are used to inform prospective candidates of available positions. Selective mailing lists and discrete network contacts are used as additional resources for candidate identification and selection. Personalized, trusted, and discrete relationships are established to ensure the satisfaction of our clients and maintenance of superior services. Today's healthcare management has new and expanded roles that require flexibility and a broad range of skills. Guidry & East continually evaluates and redesigns our services and search methods to continually provide high quality products and dependable, experienced, and qualified candidates. Step 1: Initial On-Site Visit and Information Gathering An on-site situation analysis is developed that provides an in-depth understanding of the client's organization, management, service, structure, objective, need, current issue, competition and description of the specific position to be filled. Step 2: Project Timeframe and Resources After gaining in-depth perspective of the facility, the position, and the community, a project plan is discussed with the client to identify and agree on expected timeframe and resources related to the search. Discussions include compensation package, including fringe benefits, moving allowance, possible bonus arrangements and contracts. Step 3: Written Position Specification A detailed statement of the job description is then developed and mutually agreed upon with the client. With the client's concurrence, this statement can be shared with the prospective candidates without revealing the name of the client. Step 4: In-Depth Search Plan for Facility Because each search has its own set of issues and requirements, we develop for each search a strategic plan, which guides the tactics for the conduct of the search. We identify target facilities, consult center-of-influence who may be of some assistance, and draw on our research expertise. We conduct direct telephone and mail sourcing campaigns, as appropriate, to develop potential candidates. Step 5: Prospective Candidate Interview A list of viable candidates is developed. An in-depth, confidential interview is conducted with each candidate, and a report of the interviews is shared with the client. Final candidates are then presented to the client for an interview. Before the candidates are presented, we provide evaluations and preliminary reference checks. Step 6: Extensive Telephone Screening and Personal Interviews as Directed At this stage, we perform comprehensive background and reference investigation to reassure the client and ourselves of the candidate's integrity, personal characteristics, abilities and accomplishments. We then provide the client a presentation of candidate credentials in summary format. Step 7: Client Interview We coordinate interview(s) in cooperation with Administration and others involved in the recruitment process. As an intermediary, we are a conduit for coordinating meeting and communication before, during and after the interview process. Step 8: Negotiation and Offer Based on an in-depth interview with the most desirable candidate, coupled with the needs and expectations of the client, we make recommendations on the specifics of the offer and assist the client in presenting the offer to the candidate, if appropriate. Step 9: Transitional Services, as Desired After a candidate has accepted the offer, we work with both the candidate and the client to ensure a smooth and orderly transition. Upon client's request, we can also maintain contact with new employee for a minimum of one year.
