TimeLine’s Step-by-Step Recruitment Process.
TimeLine Recruiting offers one of the industry’s most comprehensive ranges of services and can tailor these services to meet your specific needs.
SEARCH ACTIVATION: The first step toward finding the right physician is the submission of an Authorized Agreement.
INTRODUCTION CALL/OPPORTUNITY PROFILE: Our search consultants will conduct an introductory call to gain first-hand knowledge of your opportunity. The information gathered will help us provide effective third party selling based on a clear understanding of your practice set up, day-to-day operations, compensation package, candidate qualifications and expectations, and amenities of your area.
POST OPPORTUNITY PROFILE: Since TimeLine knows that details are what make the difference, your designated search consultant will recap, in writing, the information gathered during the opportunity profile. This information ensures an accurate representation of your opportunity outlining all expectations for clarity and understanding between both parties.
CREATIVE NATIONAL SOURCING: With first-hand knowledge of your opportunity and with the advantage of objective third party selling, your designated search consultant will implement a national strategy to attract qualified physicians that meet or exceed your specific criteria. Unlike most recruiting firms, TimeLine commissions its staff after filling your search. This results-driven model provides a great deal of incentive for your search consultant to exhaust all means necessary to fill your search in the shortest amount of time possible.
CANDIDATE PREPARATION: No physician candidates are ever formally presented to a client until the candidates are thoroughly evaluated and qualified. This careful preparation eliminates candidates that are not a good match for your opportunity, and will save you time, money, and effort on costly site visits.
Our detailed screening process goes well beyond information gathered in a physician’s CV. Your search consultant will extensively interview the physician to learn about the candidate’s goals, motivation, education, practice history, current practice situation, family needs, interests, affiliations, and many other important factors that make up the personal and professional profile of the physician candidate. Additionally, we also interview the candidate’s spouse, if possible, to better acquaint you with needs of the physician’s spouse and family.
COVER LETTER: Your search consultant will provide you with detailed information about all physician candidates in a cover letter. Each cover letter will highlight the professional and personal background of each candidate including critical information and key motivations for wanting to relocate.
The cover letter provided by your search consultant will allow you to determine the viability of each physician candidate. This saves your facility time and money, focusing only on truly motivated candidates.
CANDIDATE PHONE INTERVIEW AND ON SITE VISIT: When you express interest in a candidate we present, your search consultant will first arrange a phone interview. Once the phone interview is completed, travel will be arranged, at your discretion, and we will help you plan an itinerary for their site visit. At this point, your search consultant will have extensive knowledge of the physician candidate and will make recommendations on how you can better plan your time with the candidate.
Your search consultant will query the National Practitioner Data Bank, verify licensure and board eligibility/certification, conduct a criminal background check, and acquire professional references at your request.
THE MATCH: If you feel the candidate is a good match for your opportunity, your search consultant will then act as a liaison to negotiate the Physician Agreement. Due to the low supply and high demand for physicians in today’s market, it is important that together we take all of the necessary steps to remove the physician candidate from the market and secure an agreement as quickly as possible with your facility.
RELOCATION: TimeLine works with several nationally recognized moving companies and will gladly assist with relocating the candidate, his or her family, and belongings, safely to your community.
CANDIDATE GUARANTEE: In addition to guaranteeing physician placement and providing a secure investment for your facility, TimeLine also guarantees the quality of the match created between you and the physician candidate.
