Our Executive Recruiting Packages:
At MedBest, we offer two levels of recruiting to meet our clients’ needs:
MedBest Advantage
A comprehensive multi-step recruiting process. After interviewing and researching our client’s expectations, we prescreen all our candidates during the first stages of the recruitment process. After locating the best talent options for our clients, our experts interview and conduct background and reference checks to narrow down the choices to a few possible candidates. The client then interviews only these matches. Typically a client only has to interview two candidates before presenting an offer to one. This process has proven to save our clients both time, hassle and most importantly, revenue.
MedBest Retained Executive Search
In addition to our MedBest Advantage package, we offer a Retained Executive Search package. Retained search is used when a client wants MedBest to manage the entire search process. This comprehensive search strategy includes personality testing to guarantee a successful long-term placement. This testing also eliminates potential workplace conflict and can assess how candidates handle different situations that may arise. When the full MedBest Retained recruiting process is deployed, it boasts an astounding 92% long-term success rate.
