HEALTHCARE 

Our Healthcare Practice works with a wide range of clients in the Healthcare industry, ranging from community hospitals and national health systems to physician organizations and managed care companies. Across the Healthcare Industry, we understand that the candidates we place with our clients will significantly impact their organizations and the lives of the patients they serve. This is a charge we take seriously, and it is reflected in our approach to recruitment.

We provide Executive Search Services in all verticals of our Healthcare client organizations. This includes all positions from the Director level to the Chief Executive Officer, including leadership roles in Administration, Nursing, Physician Leadership, Quality, Finance, Operations, Ancillary Services, Human Resources, and more. Our scope includes all leadership roles from the facility level to the market, regional, national, and corporate levels. By taking this approach, we become experts in the unique needs of our clients at an organizational level and of the specific needs of each individual department and role.

In the Healthcare industry, the consequences of a mis-hire or a never-ending search are substantial. The costs of interims continue to mount, and long-term goals may go unmet, both of which are felt by physicians, staff, and patients and can have ripple effects to other departments and the organization as a whole. We take the appropriate amount of care to help our clients avoid these painful situations by thoroughly covering the talent marketplace in a timely manner and meticulously screening the candidates we present. As a result, we have a near perfect success rate in our retained search work, and our permanent searches are completed within an average of 90 days.

Our success in recruitment is a direct result of the experience and dedication of our team and the leader of our practice, Efton Hall, Jr. Efton has over 40 years of experience working in the healthcare industry—20 years from holding executive healthcare positions of his own and over 20 years of practicing executive search work in the healthcare industry. He is also an active member, regular event attendee, and panel speaker of ACHE (American College of Healthcare Executives) and CAHL (California Association of Hospital Leaders). For a large portion of the search work he conducts, the positions are ones that he has held personally or that have reported to him, which contributes to his comprehensive understanding of the roles and the approach needed to fill them.

The experience, skillset, and vast network that Efton has gained throughout his long career in healthcare and executive search have made Efton a true expert in his arena. Our clients can rest assured that a search left in the hands of Efton and his team will be handled with the utmost care. No stone will be left unturned.

As the healthcare industry proceeds to change and advance, Berkeley Search Consultants remains by its side. We take it upon ourselves to adapt to the needs of our clients and the market, always challenging ourselves to stay current with the latest market intelligence and recruitment methodologies in order to deliver the best possible results.

Looking back on our history of three decades, we are extremely proud of the work we have done, the connections we have made, the relationships we have honored, and the positive impact we have been able to make in the lives of our clients, candidates, and their teams and patients. With every new project we take on, we are excited to make the perfect match between candidate and client. And we can’t wait to do more.
