Types of Clients We Serve

We leverage expert knowledge of academic and privately-owned medical centers to provide tailored recruitment solutions for institutions and organizations spanning the entirety of the healthcare spectrum.

Academic Medical Centers

Initially founded as a niche physician recruitment firm focusing on the academic neurosciences and higher education, Academic Med has developed an intimate understanding of academic medical institutions and their workings. The search process for academic centers creates an opportunity for the program to rejuvenate the community and its citizens.

Children’s Medical Centers

Academic Med works with some of the fastest growing pediatric healthcare systems of the country, working to bring in leadership and faculty that can carry the responsiblities bestowed upon them by the community at large. Children’s hospitals require that their leaders and faculty carry out the duties of other healthcare professionals, while working towards improving care for all children.

Hospitals & Health Systems

Academic Med supports entities owned by for-profit companies and non-profit organizations. Additionally, the “privademic” model can offer physicians an appealing blend of autonomy in practice, infrastructure and other support for those eager to remain active in research, and residency and fellowship programs for the academically-oriented.

Search Process

Step 1
Exploratory Dialogue
Identify Candidate's Needs

We speak with the candidate to gain an in-depth understanding of candidate’s needs, their ideal position, areas of expertise, location preferences, and other relevant information

Research Clients

Academic Med’s original research is conducted by a team of search consultants and is refined to accommodate the candidate at hand.

Strategize

Based on our research and industry knowledge, we develop the search specifications and strategy by which we produce results. A tailored, individual strategy is developed and implemented for each search

Step 2
Assess & Match
Assess

An assigned team of search consultants will work with you from the beginning of the process to assess and evaluate your needs in relation to various programs and organizations.

Candidate Discussions

We conduct discussions to review the candidate’s background and gain a deeper understanding of their objectives, knowledge, and skills. With this knowledge and background information, we work to present only the most relevant opportunities to the candidate with one end goal in mind: a successful pairing of client and candidate.

Match

Our team utilizes a wealth of experience and market knowledge to effectively present opportunities that are relevant for your consideration

Step 3
Introduce & Facilitate
Introduce

We compile client background information along with extensive notes from the meetings and discussions to provide the candidate with a multi-faceted understanding of each relevant client

Facilitate Interviews

We will facilitate and coordinate the phone discussions between candidate and client, as well as onsite interviews. Additionally, our team prepares both candidate and client to allow for the most fruitful dialogue and face-to-face interaction. Following the interviews, our team gathers feedback from both sides to gauge level of interest and determine the most appropriate next steps

Step 4
Successful Placement
Reference Checks

Upon client request, the search team will conduct reference checks as the final stage of the screening process.

Offer

We will serve as a liaison between candidate and client throughout the offer and negotiation process to ensure that a mutually beneficial contract is agreed upon

Effectuate

Once the negotiated offer is accepted by both parties, we help to facilitate a smooth transition for both the client and the candidate. We also seek feedback from both sides to ensure we are providing service of the highest caliber
