Part III:

Creating a “resource compendium”
The hiring manager should begin compiling a resource compendium outlining all the information about the job and department the candidate will lead. The compendium will include such things as:

  • Organizational chart(s)
  • List of personnel (doctors, mid-levels, nurses, administration, and support staff)
  • Copies of staff CVs
  • Full outline of services provided, programs offered, etc.
  • Special procedures offered
  • Special equipment
  • Hours of operation
  • Budget reports
  • Revenue reports
  • Square footage and layout
  • Opportunities for growth
  • Challenges or roadblocks
  • Research activities
  • Educational opportunities
  • Department turnover and recruitment activities

Start this process early. It may take a month or two to complete.
