How it works

Four stages, from intake to day one.

Every search runs the same way, paced to the role and the organization. No two clinics hire on the same timeline, so we work to yours rather than to a quota.

Stage one

Intake

A thorough call covering the role, the pay range, the schedule, the systems in use and how your team works day to day.

Stage two

Sourcing

We start with the people we know, then reach out to others directly — including those who are not actively job hunting but may be ready for the next career step.

Stage three

Short list

Screened and reference-checked candidates, each with written notes on experience, availability and fit. You decide who to interview, and we coordinate the scheduling.

Stage four

Offer and start

Offer terms, counteroffer risk and the start date are managed through to day one. The guarantee period begins there.

What every search includes

Written into every client agreement

Screening

Screened for the actual role

Candidates are screened for level of interest and compatibility with the specific opportunity before anything is forwarded.

Background

Checked to Joint Commission standards

Criminal background screening covering every county of residence for the past seven years, plus an SSN trace, in accordance with governmental regulations.

References

Checked before presentation

Reference checks are completed before a candidate is put forward, not after an offer is on the table.

Summary

A written note with every resume

Resumes arrive to you with a short written description of each candidate, so you know who you are looking at before deciding who to meet.

Negotiation

Liaison through the offer

We act on your behalf in negotiating terms, and manage counteroffer risk — the chance a candidate's current employer tries to keep them once they resign.

Communication

Status without chasing

Regular updates on where the search stands and how candidate selection is progressing.

Direct Hire does not discriminate against any person on the basis of color, sex, age, race, creed, disability, religion, nationality, economic status, veteran status or citizenship status.
