Why Hospitals & Clinics Need Us

We specialize in physicians. We do not sometimes recruit, that is all we do, every day. We know healthcare because we all have worked in healthcare.

Confidentiality

A search is begun with the understanding that only final candidates learn the name of the client. Not being identified means that inappropriate candidates will not contact you and any sensitive internal plans will not be disclosed. Naturally, client information remains confidential.

Relief of Management time

Recruiting, interviewing, scheduling, verifying degrees, licenses and credentials and reference checking are time consuming chores. Discovering that you have wasted your time and efforts on a candidate neither appropriate or interested, only compounds matters.

Third Party Relationship

Enables the client to remove himself from the give and take of negotiation, questions of organization and policy or other sensitive issues. We effectively represent the client in matters that preclude management involvement.

Professionalism

Our firm employs experienced and seasoned healthcare professionals that take the time to get to know the client. Our search professionals are successful, articulate, professional and hold themselves to high standards of integrity, honesty and good faith in dealing with both candidates and clients.

Revealing the hidden market

Most physicians have no idea or interest in another position. We make these people aware of the opportunities through conversations and personal meetings and present the opportunity in a professional and desirable manner. We nurture these candidates and follow-up with them to make sure of the interest in a potential position. Prior reference checks and background information eliminate marginal candidates before they interview with the client.

Emergency Care for Your Personnel Problems

Turn to Diffenbaugh & Associates for your toughest personnel problems. We know how to cure them.

Consultative Role

Before initiating any search activity, we assist in designing the expected qualifications of the candidate, the procedures for scheduling visits and mutual expectations of the client, the physician and the firm. If requested, we will help develop a comprehensive package that includes compensation, benefits, management and marketing assistance and appropriate financials that meet the needs of the physician as well as the capabilities of the client.

Fees

Our fee allows the client to know the exact cost of our professional services. In addition, our fees are contingent on you recruiting and hiring one of our candidates. And if the physician leaves within 3 months, through no fault of the client, we will initiate the search again at no additional expense.
