Working in Partnership with a Search Committee

A major Canadian hospital was seeking a Chief of its primary program area, and a Search Committee had been formed. Our role was to research the medical field in Canada and the U.S. to identify a long list of possible candidates. We agreed with our client that this might be no more than 20 candidates. In fact, working with leads provided by the committee, and through our own contacts, referrals and research, over 50 possible candidates were identified - in Canada, the U.S.A., and the U.K. Through regular conference discussion with the committee we reviewed the curriculum vitae of those candidates of greatest interest. We were, in effect, the research and data gathering arm of the committee, ensuring that all possible candidates were identified, and bringing to the committee all relevant data on each candidate's clinical, teaching, and research interests. The result was a successful recruitment of a recognized leader in this area of medicine.
