Important elements Starfish Partners Healthcare brings to your executive search
Since we are a neutral third party, we are able to help the Search Committee see your organization through the eyes of others and help develop a suitable search strategy.
We will represent your organization in balanced, honest terms to attract distinguished candidates.
Because of the relationship between candidates and their search consultant, candidates find it easier to ask the tough questions, feeling that they will get a fair and honest answer.
We will leverage our professional internal and external networks to broadcast your job opportunity. This can include various social media channels, email marketing campaigns, and advertising in top healthcare industry publications. Our experience includes a full understanding that the best prospects are not likely to voluntarily apply for most roles because they are happily serving in their current positions.
We are able to capture and garner the attention of prospects that would otherwise go unnoticed and, in past experiences, have risen to the top of a short list.
We serve to help convince the best candidates to explore the opportunity while maintaining the strictest of confidentiality.
We have experience organizing and carrying out executive level searches (permanent, interim and/or part-time) through successful completion and post-placement follow-up.
We have experienced a large array of healthcare searches and lend our substantial expertise when hard choices need a seasoned perspective or when a crisis occurs.
We fully understand the importance of consensus building and guide stakeholders through a careful analysis of the organization’s current and future strategic goals.
We have extensive experience developing and screening an array of diverse candidates in terms of gender, ethnicity, and perspective.
We offer relief from time intensive labor that would add to an already intense workload of ancillary responsibilities passed to the evaluation committee or other staff.
