Hire Professionals for Hard to Fill or Highly Specialized Roles Who Arrive Aligned For Success

Contingency Search. Retained Search.

Too often, healthcare organizations hire professionals who look right on paper - but struggle with pace, communication, team dynamics, or organizational complexity once they're in the building.

That's probably not a talent problem. It's an alignment problem.

They either weren't aligned from the start, or something went wrong after they started.

Your Nexstep team will get aligned with your HR leaders re our co-working and clearly define what alignment looks like in each role and search for it.

You shouldn't have to contend with a costly mis-hire. With aligned search, you won't.

Contingency Search & Retained Search

A percentage of the candidate's projected 1st-year earnings, ranging from 20%-35%.

Retained Search

You pay us a retainer, usually:

1/3 up front
1/3 midway through the search
1/3 when the candidate is hired
