Questions to ask any recruiting provider
Evaluate the provider against your actual role and hospital requirements. Request clear answers and written terms rather than relying on a generic ranking.
- Who sources candidates and what screening is performed?
- What will our practice need to do during the search?
- What becomes payable if the search does not result in a hire?
Prepare the role brief
Write down the information a candidate needs to evaluate the position before the search begins.
- Specify the surgical discipline and credentials required.
- Document theatre access, imaging, anesthesia support and equipment.
- Clarify case ownership, referrals and perioperative responsibilities.
Plan the work location in Colorado Springs.
Old Colorado City and Briargate are Colorado Springs neighborhood areas in the city’s planning materials. Manitou Springs is a separate city. Give the hospital address and identify a Manitou Springs assignment separately from work in Colorado Springs.
A Colorado Springs vacancy should show the home hospital, appointment pattern and actual support on each shift. For a group covering Briargate and the west side, distinguish a permanent home-site role from a rotating position before discussing candidate fit.
Review Colorado Springs-area recruiting coverage →Verify Colorado credentials before setting a clinical start.
Check the candidate's current Colorado professional record and any restrictions with the licensing authority. Keep the verification date and assign responsibility for rechecking before clinical work begins. Check specialty credentials separately from the state license.
