JW Friday, Hooker & Associates has more than 15 years of recruitment experience, and our firm primarily focuses on executive level searches within the healthcare industry that include: Hospital Administration, Oncology, Research, Neurosciences, Radiology, Pharmacy, Cardiovascular, ER/Critical Care, Psychiatry, Surgery, Information Technology, Long Term Care, and Rehab Therapy. In addition to filling executive level searches, we also work with specific candidates within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical-device industries. We have experience working in the private sector with both small and large physician practices and our firm’s ability to fill positions within the not-for-profit arena, within Academia and the Teaching hospital setting is our strongest attribute.
This experience is why our firm best understands the complexity of healthcare today and allows us to better serve and understand the healthcare professionals we represent and speak to everyday.
• Our firm can offer both permanent placement and/or interim assignments to the candidates we represent.
• We specialize in Healthcare Executive Search, therefore giving us the knowledge of the complex reporting structures, and the different organizational charts within healthcare today. This is so important for candidates when working with a recruiter because it isn’t just about the title of a position. We understand that the type of healthcare organization, title of position, size of the hospital/healthcare organization/healthcare system, reporting structure, strategic goals of the organization, compensation, retirement plan, and bonus structure are all equally important to you as a candidate.
• We are primarily a retained firm, which allows you, the candidate, to know that our clients are committed to filling their positions within a timely manner. At JW Friday, Hooker & Associates, we understand that your professional and personal time away is very important and by working with a professional search firm your time is protected.
• We best serve our clients and candidates by developing long term relationships with them and because of this we have developed relationships with a diverse network in both Healthcare and Academic organizations. This allows us to offer a broader range of opportunity for the candidates we represent.
• We have a proven process that is results driven: Prepare a professional profile to highlight your experience that is relevant to the position you are interviewing on; resume review/consulting; providing preparation tools before any telephone/onsite interview; providing license and/or degree verifications on your behalf, along with two professional references; one on one time with your recruiter; resignation/counter offer coaching.
• We recognize that when relocating there are many issues to consider. Therefore, we offer a free relocation coach that will assist you with the following: Cost of living increase/decrease, selling your home, temporary housing, buying a new home, information on schools, receiving discounted rates on moving van line companies, and the overall coordination of the move.
• We will consult with you regarding your current and long term career goals and provide insight on current industry trends.
