Demand for Health Executives

As the demand for healthcare jobs increases by 3%, the high demand for health talent pool becomes smaller and successful health executives have more opportunities available to find their next career move.  In this connected management environment top health talent is evaluating your company in terms of types of challenges you offer, career progression, high visibility profile of your organisation , monetary rewards, best projects,  best clients and what professional development you have to offer.

The most successful hires are made through understanding the health management talent market, reasons why top health executives move, and why they want to work for you.   The secret to hiring the best health executives is to be the best yourself in your space.

What top health executives look for in the next role?

Without preparation chances to hire top health executives becomes low as the process is flawed if it doesn’t start well before you go to health job market to identify a shortlist of candidates.

Selecting the best candidates starts in healthcare and health IT well before the recruitment process is approved  to ensure the best hiring decision process.  The principle is know how your company reputation and brand is perceived in your healthcare niche by the best executives because you want to attract them rather than chase them.

Lead not Follow

Strategy 1

Rather than hunting top health talent, create an environment for top health executives to search you out.  This requires the organisation to develop good branding and reputation in the marketplace so that the best executives know where to find you.

You need to strike a balance between caution and risk in hiring. The global health business marketplace is getting crowded and organisations understand that as people are their competitive edge, they need to have a smart strategy when it comes to hiring the best health talent.

Prepare Proactively

Strategy 2

Traditionally,  preparation for the search is an exhaustive and elaborate recruitment and assessment process.  However as the list of top health executives  is narrowed to the top two or three the hiring process the protracted recruitment process from 12 weeks to 6 months becomes too long in making a final decision and often leads to missing out on top talent.

This is highly time-consuming that gets bogged down in the decision-making process failing to get the best health hires on board.

Make faster, better informed hiring decisions

Strategy 3

Hiring decision are being hi-jacked by either high priority competing projects or the company is not willing to pay the extra top dollar value to bring unique talent on board.

When a company impacts on the lives of their talented workforce in a positive way to help executives fulfil their aspirations and motivations, the company will grow in its mission and values that is in alignment and culture fit with its people.

Bold decision-making coupled with equally bold attraction of the best candidates from the health sectors creates opportunities where none appear to exist.

Help your next executives find value in your company where they can take their talent, expertise and experience. The next generation of leaders are fast paced, with dynamically unfolding careers that doubtless hold surprises yet to come.
