Recruiting for Director of Nursing and
Nurse Leadership Positions

The executives who fill management positions within the senior healthcare industry play a vital role in the way a facility functions. At MedBest, we work tirelessly to ensure that we place the perfect candidate in each position based on their skill sets, qualifications, and personality to ensure long-term success.

When searching for talent to fill a management role, we screen potential candidates for many different skills, personality factors, licenses and certifications to ensure that they will be able to lead in these critical positions. Careers in healthcare management present their own unique set of challenges and demands, making the finding of the perfect match that much more important for long-term success. No executive recruiting firm understands this more than MedBest. Remember we are executives placing executives. Your business has been our business for decades.

Nurse Leadership is the cornerstone to a successful long-term healthcare facility. They are the eyes, ears and ultimate communicators for a patient’s needs. An exceptional Director of Nursing and his or her staff will display the perfect balance between compassion and business. Without this skill set, senior care facilities end up losing revenue due to patient or resident dissatisfaction and poor clinical outcomes. It is an imperative that long-term healthcare care facilities place the perfect Nurse Leadership team.  The executives who fill these roles are a crucial keystone in the way a healthcare facility functions. The expert recruiting team at MedBest understands this because we have over 80 years experience in the long-term care industry. We are executives placing executives. Some of the skills we look for during our recruitment process include:

• Strong Clinical Knowledge

A candidate could be the perfect fit for a position on paper, with all of the skills, licenses, and qualifications required – but personality can make or break a team culture. At MedBest, we understand that candidates are not two-dimensional figures that can be hired based on just facts and statistics, which is why we take the time to prescreen and thoroughly interview potential employees.  In fact, because of our screening process, the average MedBest client will only conduct two interviews before making an offer. This not only saves you and your business money, but also valuable time.
