As the Chief Executive Officer at South West Healthcare from 1993 to 2003 and at Ballarat Health Services from 2003 to current I have extensively utilised the services of Health Recruitment Specialists (HRS) during this period.
The types of roles in which I have used HRS has included:
– recruitment
– service reviews
– financial reviewsThe key personnel of HRS are widely known throughout the health field and bring to their roles extensive credibility, experience and an unparalelled knowledge of the executive workforce not only in Victoria but throughout Australia.
The executive searches have been conducted in a thorough and comprehensive fashion with competitive fields assembled and exhaustive character and reference checking.Key positions within BHS that have been filled by HRS include the Executive Director Nursing Services, Executive Director Medical Services and Executive Director Corporate services.
Their work has not been confined to Victoria but throughout Australia. Because the key personnel of HRS have considerable experience within the health system, they clearly understand the roles of executive staff and this greatly assists with identifying and compiling competitive fields for position.
Their contemporary knowledge of the health system is a tremendous asset in the recruitment process. HRS is a highly credentialled and reputable firm which I have absolutely no reservations in recommending.
The Selection Panel for the CEO at Castlemaine Health was very pleased with the process that HRS undertook for us. They used a variety of communication channels to do the advertising; sifted through the 34 applicants and presented a shortlist of 12; and then provided a summary of the attributes of each of the shortlisted candidates. Their interview summaries and communications with the final five candidates were very helpful.
At all times they were prompt, efficient, and with pleasant and easy to deal with.
Health Recruitment Specialists (HRS) has recently assisted the Board of East Wimmera Health Service with the recruitment of a new Chief Executive Officer.
We chose HRS over other recruitment firms as the proposed to use only senior consultants on the assignment and the fee structure was success based. More importantly, it was critical that the organisation was able to secure the right person of the highest calibre for the role, and the track record of HRS suggested they could deliver that for EWHS.
We are delighted with the results HRS achieved for us. We have secured an exceptional CEO for EWHS. I believe this was achieved because HRS took the time to understand our organisation and utilised the very extensive network of senior industry contacts that they have access to on a daily basis.
Throughout the process, HRS maintained excellent communication about their progress and provided sound advice on strategies to promote and market our health service to potential candidates. This was important in building the confidence of the candidates in the professionalism of our organisation.
I have no hesitation in recommending HRS to any organisation seeking assistance with securing the right people for their business.
