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.
- Separate clinical sessions from protected leadership time.
- Define authority over standards, mentoring and clinical decisions.
- Explain reporting lines, budget input and measures of success.
Plan the work location in Wichita.
Delano is immediately west of downtown Wichita, while College Hill is a separate Wichita neighborhood with its own planning work. Derby is a separate city southeast of Wichita. Identify the hospital address and all scheduled sites.
For a Wichita permanent search, specify whether the vacancy belongs to a Delano or College Hill hospital or a separate Derby facility. Confirm the Kansas professional license and the hospital’s premise registration through their respective processes.
