Healthcare business “experts” agree that staying consistent is an attribute that most successful people share when it comes to making management decisions or in conducting their own personal lives. We also know as a fact that… Read More »Consistency? Overrated.
And all the things that were previously planned go down the drain. Or we just trip and fall. Of course it is almost impossible to prevent “the un-forseen” that we had not anticipated.
So here is some useful advice from the nation’s most successful healthcare recruiting firm:
Coaches are held accountable for their success and failure just like the rest of us who show up every day for work. The difference is that head coaches are on TV or in the news.
Getting fired hurts, no matter who you are or what you do. When a head coach gets fired, it’s rejection on a grand scale not only because huge salaries are involved but because of the news media. It is completely embarrassing no matter how thick a skin can be.
Many employers confess to me (a professional healthcare recruiter) that December (though joyous) can also be the cruelest month. For example, December is a great month to interview for a new job with the intention of providing a start date in January.
Have I got your attention? Plain and simple, the perfect mistake is putting something in writing that could have been communicated verbally on the phone or in person. Emails can be deadly. Why? Whether you… Read More »The Perfect Mistake

Recent Director of Nursing Placement Experience. Having recent successful Director of Nursing placement experience is evidence that a recruiter or a recruiting firm understands the nature of the position and function that it plays in the success of a facility. It also proves that the recruiter understands the needs of the long term care facility and it’s culture.
A successful placement is when our client- the hiring employer- makes an offer to a candidate (that we present) and the offer is accepted with a start date provided.
In the end result, when a recruiter’s candidate is placed then it might be inferred that a recruiter has assisted someone in finding a job. However that wasn’t the intent.
In fact, if a candidate presented to an employer is not placed, then the search continues to fill the position, but not to help that same candidate find another job.
Professional recruiters are trained experts in the search process and all the nuances involved in human behavior. Years ago, recruiters were known as counselors.
Time kills all deals. When too much time goes by during the interview process, anything can happen to wain the candidate’s interest. In addition waiting too long implies disinterest to most candidates. This is not to imply that employers need to make rash decisions, but the process should take no less than 10 days from the first interview to offer.
For the senior living industry there is a politically incorrect philosophy about how to succeed: it’s called “heads on beds.” It’s a business that relies on census. If the facility if full, then there will be positive cash flow and everyone is happy.
