FAQs answered about The Hire Connections unique approach to recruiting!

The Hire Connection represents the next generation in medical recruiting firms. With over 40 years of healthcare recruiting success, THC has revolutionized the way providers are sourced and placed. While many agencies still cling to “old school” sourcing techniques that rely heavily on a single advertising stream, The Hire Connection utilizes a host of cutting-edge resources to give you a competitive advantage and ensure your recruitment goals are realized.


We often are asked some great questions from our perspective clients and we wanted to share them with our answers!  Here are are top frequently asked questions:



Q: Is THC a Contingent or Retained recruiting firm?


Answer:
We think we have blended the best of both worlds, so we like to say we are a “Contained” or “Retingent” firm. In other words, we reduce your financial exposure, but offer all the services your opportunity requires to bring it to a successful conclusion.

Q: How can I be assured you will continue to work our search even after we have paid all of our fees?


Answer:
With our Guaranteed Provider Placement, giving up is not an option. Basically, at THC, we have a different mind-set when it comes to work ethic. While most traditional firms want to fill your search, THC HAS to fill your search.

Q: Do you charge $2.00 plus per piece of mail like other firms?


Answer:
Because of our all-Inclusive approach, there is no cost to you for any marketing.

Q: Can I work with other recruiting firms if I sign an agreement with THC?


Answer:
Absolutely. We would love to handle all of your business, but we understand other companies are vying for your business as well.

Q: I've heard, of all the recruiting firms, THC has the most comprehensive candidate data. How do you acquire that information?


Answer:
At THC, we subscribe to a simple theory: Exposure and repetition are the two key elements of any successful campaign. In addition, we also understand that today’s candidates utilize numerous communication options in lieu of a single snail mail address. So for optimal exposure, THC makes the investment to procure data through other sources which provide us additional contact information, such as, professional and personal emails, and home and cell phone numbers. By increasing our communication options, we increase our chances of making contact, which is our primary goal.



Q: Do you conduct background and credential checks on the candidates?


Answer:
THC conducts a thorough credential check to verify state licensure and board certification. We also run a criminal background check on all candidates.

Q: Do you meet the candidate prior to their site visit?


Answer:
Because our candidates are nation-wide, as a rule, we do not meet them prior to the site visit. We believe we can make better use of our time in the office sourcing additional candidates for your opportunity.

Q: Does your firm create cover letters on candidates?


Answer:
We actually go beyond the traditional cover letter and create extensive 8-10 page mini-biographies on all candidates. We submit these to hirers prior to the candidate’s visit, so that the initial meeting feels more like a second interview.

Q: We have had some success with contingent firms, why should we consider going with a retained firm?


Answer:
Certainly, the no-upfront-costs associated with the contingent approach are attractive. Yet, because of their limited service, and their process of sifting through mountains of CV’s often unrelated to your opportunity, land on your desk. Their sifting process then becomes your sifting process. As long as you are comfortable with visiting with candidates that have very little information about your opportunity and you know very little about the candidate and you are willing to pay someone 25k for that exchange, then we don’t’ try and compete for that business. If you are looking for a full service firm that allows you to focus on your task at hand, then THC would be a great fit.
