The Need:

Located in a rural and isolated community, this acute care hospital needed strong facilities management leadership for an aging plant and code compliance upgrades. After an unsuccessful six month engagement with another recruiting firm, Gosselin Associates was contracted for the search.

This hospital needed a high caliber individual who could lead the needed and complex upgrades - someone with significant technical and managerial depth. But it also needed to be someone who was excited to move to this rural community. This search was geographically challenged.

Our Solution:

Due to this challenge and recognizing the extensive technical and compliance needs of our client, we adapted our candidate evaluation criteria and suggested a recruiting campaign targeting both local and national candidates. We believed there may be leaders from other parts of the country who would desire our client's location.

The hired applicant possessed the skills and abilities to manage the position's responsibilities as well as the willingness to assimilate into the community. This client particularly appreciated how we adapted our approach to their unique needs and kept them informed every step of the way.

The Result:
