Press Release Summary: The Carlisle Group focuses just as much on the needs of rural communities as they do for larger locations and constantly deliver the best opportunities to their clients.
Press Release Body: For many regional healthcare clinics and facilities across America and their administrators, it has always been particularly difficult to find the healthcare providers they require to keep their communities healthy. Even with the promise of a higher income and a better cost for living than in larger cities, the overall shortage of healthcare specialists in America has made the search for physicians a difficult and complicated process. Fortunately for many of these more rural communities, The Carlisle Group focuses just as much on their needs as they do for larger locations and constantly deliver the best opportunities to their clients.
For Rob Schmitt, the Chief Executive Officer of Gibson Area Hospital of Gibson City, Illinois, finding a new Orthopedic Surgeon at first seemed nearly impossible. He was told by one popular firm that it would take approximately 18 months and $50,000 to place his opportunity. He had worked with another firm for 8 months without a single lead. The outlook began to look more optimistic when Schmitt decided to hire the services of The Carlisle Group.
“In one week The Carlisle Group was in touch with us, and away we went,” Schmitt says, as one of TCG’s seasoned search managers immediately began the extensive search process for qualified surgeons. 17 days later, TCG succeeded in signing Gibson City’s newest Orthopedic Surgeon. Since then, the new recruit has even increased his colleagues’ productivity, helping to solidify the already “great relationship between medical and administrative” staff. As a result of this successful recruitment, The Carlisle Group has earned a future partnership with Gibson Area Hospital.
Logan Regional Medical Center in Logan, West Virginia was having similar difficulty locating physicians for their brand new facilities. Having already invested over $30 million in new technology, the Medical Center was now in desperate need for Cardiologists. Unfortunately, even after employing the services of two retained physician recruiting firms and several additional contingent firms, the charm of the Appalachian community was also causing some complications, as its rural location hindered the recruiting process.
That’s when in-house Physician Recruiter Si Easterling called TCG, and was immediately impressed by how easy they were to work with. “As far as accessibility, it’s as good as you can get. The Carlisle Group is easy to reach and gets back to us very promptly,” Said Easterling. Our search manager was genuinely interested in getting a placement. He wasn’t just another recruiter and we weren’t just another hospital.”
What Chief Executive Officer Mark Dooley of Andalusia Regional Hospital in southern Alabama liked best about the process of finding their new Orthopedic Surgeon with TCG was the fact that his Search Manager thought of every detail. He even had the candidate sign TCG documentation that led the way to securing a legal contract with the facility.
“It was nice to have the physician sign a letter of intent to display their commitment, without getting slapped with a placement invoice,” says Dooley. “My Search Manager represented the opportunity very well, was great at communicating our thoughts to the candidate, and vice versa. I absolutely plan on using The Carlisle Group for future placements.”
The Carlisle Group is a healthcare placement firm that offers a unique structure to clients seeking to attract healthcare professionals and physicians to their communities. Utilizing a variety of resources and strategic partnerships to determine viable searches nation-wide, The Carlisle Group is a rising star in the field of physician recruitment.
