5 Quick Tips to Improve Recruitment of Great Physicians and Staff

Nicola V. Hawkinson, MA, RNFA, NP, CEO and founder of SpineSearch, offers the following five tips to help surgery centers and practices recruit great physicians and staff.

1. Don't hire too quickly or out of desperation. "Today's current job market and unemployment rate puts the employer at an advantage to find highly qualified people seeking entrance into healthcare."

2. Have a clear job description. "Before any hirer, having a clear job description is imperative so both the employee and employer have clarity of expectations of performance and productivity."

3. Prepare for the interview. "In addition to the job description, preparation should include previewing a candidate's resume and preparing questions that would help you predict the employee's performance in the practice setting."

4. Include valued members of your team in the process. "Involve your office/practice manager as well as other clinicians who have had a positive effect on your [organization] to help in the decision making of others who will join your team."

5. Utilize references. "Past performance is the best indicator of future productivity."
