Our Approach to Executive Search
Seven Steps to Leadership Success

Phillips DiPisa's approach ensures successful experiences for clients and candidates in health care executive search and life sciences executive search. We are involved in every step of the hiring cycle—from designing an appropriate job description—to ensuring your chosen candidate’s smooth transition into your organization. Our proven seven-step process ensures an efficient, effective executive search that achieves your strategic objectives.

1. Organizational Readiness Review
We establish program milestones and complete an organizational assessment with input from key stakeholders. Our deliverable is a set of documents that we, in turn, use to market your leadership opportunity through our networks and to attract the best candidates.

2. Candidate Development Through Research
Because of our broad network and strong industry knowledge, Phillips DiPisa is well positioned to attract the best and brightest candidates on your behalf. After identifying and contacting the best candidates, we provide you with feedback on their thoughts about your position, the compensation package and other key considerations.

3. Executive Candidate Selection
We conduct in-depth interviews, verify credentials, provide candidate profiles and resumes and conduct preliminary reference checks. Our process is thorough and effective, as evidenced by the fact that we have among the highest placement and longevity rates in the health care executive search industry.

4. Client Evaluation of Candidates
Our comprehensive selection process ensures that you’ll interview only the most highly qualified candidates. After each interview, we secure feedback from both you and the candidate.

5. Offer, Negotiation and Job Acceptance
Because we’re in close contact with you and the finalists throughout your search, we minimize surprises at the negotiation stage. We draft the offer letter for the candidate you choose and ensure that all issues are covered.

6. On-Boarding
We guide each new health care executive or life sciences executive through a successful transition by staying in touch during the first 100 days.

7. Follow-Up
After your new executive begins work, we also undertake an objective assessment of the entire placement process. We arrange for an independent firm to gauge your views about our effectiveness, as well as how well the new hire is transitioning into the organization. Our interest is to ensure that both Phillips DiPisa and your health care executive or life sciences executive have exceeded your expectations.

The Phillips DiPisa approach is built on a strong methodology and a solid foundation of industry knowledge and recruiting experience. Our time-tested process ensures a seamless, highly effective health care executive search experience for each and every client.
