Dear Physician:

The development and continued achievements of your practice are built upon fundamentals known to every successful enterprise.  Superior skills and the delivery of exemplary services combined with sound business practices is the hallmark that distinguishes your practice in the eyes of the community that you service.

You have taken care to develop your practice.  Aligning yourself with talented associates is critical to continued growth.  However, the identification, recruitment and retention of the appropriate physician manpower is an endeavor not easily attained.

Many practices rely on passive techniques including advertising, word of mouth and mailings to residency programs.  In addition, the practice may be fortunate to use the Human Resource or Recruitment Staff of an affiliated institution or delivery system.  In many instances, these methods achieve satisfactory results.  At times, the practice may find itself in competing or conflicting dilemmas where divided loyalties between the practice and its referral source could offer less than dependable results.  At that point, the use of a Professional Physician Search organization should be given favorable consideration.  Before engaging this type of assistance, we suggest that you review the following guidelines so as to assure maximum results.

How To Use A Search Firm And What You Should Expect

Search firms should be "interviewed" and assessed much in the same way that you would screen and evaluate the prospective physicians' who would be brought to your attention for your review and appraisal.

Check-List

1. Does the firm specialize in physician recruiting?

2. Do they recruit in the specialty of your practice?

3. Do they have a current data-base?

5. Are they well versed in current Practice Management Strategies and can they offer guidance in areas of:

     A. Compensation Arrangements

     B. Productivity Formulas

     C. Partnership Planning

6. Will they restrict other sources of physician referrals to your practice or work as an adjunct to your current search processes?

7. How well do they present candidates to the practice?

     A. Can they make distinctions of recent residency graduates?

     B. Can they assess seasoned applicants and evaluate the motivations for their career change?

     C. To what degree do they assist in the investigation of references and credentials?

     D. Can they provide assistance in finessing negotiations?

8. Fees

     A. Are they retainer or contingency based?

     B. Do they have percentage charges or flat fees?

     C. Do they offer appropriate guarantees after the placement is made?
