With a vacancy on their executive management team, this major east coast teaching hospital enlisted Gosselin Associates to recruit a Vice President of Facilities Services to function as Chief Facilities Officer at the systems level.

The hospital had a sizable Facilities Master Plan ready for implementation that could not move forward until the right person was at the helm.

Our Solution:

Together with hospital leadership, Gosselin Associates determined that targeted individuals would require exceptional communication and fiscal management skills combined with proven expertise in planning, design and construction facilitation in a large healthcare environment.

In addition to these technical requirements, Gosselin Associates recognized that the hiring authority team had only loose agreement on the managerial style desired. We therefore crafted candidate evaluation criteria that combined the technical requirements with the goal of exploring a variety of management styles.

We then utilized our national network to generate multiple candidates. All were pre-screened, interviewed, evaluated, and ranked against the position profile. Each was technically qualified and offered unique communication and managerial styles. When the finalists were selected, we provided logistics for final site interviews, employment contract negotiation and reference / background checks.

The Result:

The new CFO is effectively guiding the execution of the Facilities Master Plan across the hospital system.
