Because Nexus Healthcare has become so specialized, we dramatically reduce the time and expense required to successfully complete our search assignments. We initiate all searches within days and complete most searches within sixty days. Our specialization creates another value-added for our clients: the market intelligence we possess enables us to serve as strategic advisors.

Our Screening Process

At Nexus Healthcare, each client is assigned an executive search consultant who is personally responsible for every facet of the search process.  Initially, all potential candidates are interviewed telephonically or in person. We then narrow the list of potential candidates to those who meet the approved position profile prior to submission to our client.  Detailed verbatim references, tailored to address the specific challenges of the position, are submitted for all candidates interviewed onsite by the client. We also verify the candidates’ credentials (education, licensure and board certification) when requested.
