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 New York City.
Name the borough, neighborhood and street address, and keep Westchester and Long Island municipalities separate from New York City. Several names, such as Hempstead and Huntington, refer to both a town and a smaller village or hamlet, so record the actual municipality. Coverage on this site is limited to New York State; a hospital in New Jersey or Connecticut falls under a different state licensing authority.
Give the hiring team one brief for each facility, with clinical work, support staffing, weekend duties and location commitments stated together. For regional positions, list the hospitals, planned visits and how schedule changes are communicated. This site describes employer hiring coverage without claiming a New York recruiting office.
Review New York City-area recruiting coverage →Plan New York credential checks before the start date.
New York licenses veterinarians through the State Education Department rather than a separate board website. Assign a person to verify registration status, record the date and resolve questions with the Office of the Professions. Check any additional specialty credentials required by the employer with the issuing organization.
