A 9-page program workbook to complete before a cardiothoracic requisition opens. It records what the hiring team already knows across eight preparation areas: reason for the vacancy, role scope and setting, schedule and call, compensation structure, the decision path, the interview process, relocation and start logistics, and employer-required credentials.
Program directors, service line leaders, and physician recruitment teams
Reason for the hire, employment model, reporting line, and the role family stated precisely rather than by title alone.
The schedule, call arrangement, coverage, sites, and what the employer is willing to discuss.
The components to agree internally, from base and productivity to call pay, benefits, and restrictive covenants. Compensation decisions stay with the hiring organization.
Who owns each decision, the target dates, and who else has to agree before an offer goes out.
Relocation support, licensure, employer-required credentials, onboarding ownership, and visa policy.
What an engagement agreement should address, and what stays with the hiring organization, including verification and the hiring decision.
