”TCG’s Procurement has been surprisingly effective for what we need. We look forward to a continued relationship with them.” -Susan Hilscher, Director of Physician Services at Oconee Medical Center

Irving, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/25/2009 -- Oconee Medical Center has a long history of making a difference in the lives of families living in the foothills of Seneca, South Carolina. So when Director of Physician Services Susan Hilscher required a new gastroenterologist to round out her facility's medical staff, she trusted to proven success of The Carlisle Group to fulfill her opportunity. With the help of TCG's optimized procurement strategy, Oconee Medical Center will soon become the home of an experienced gastroenterologist from California.

"When I took over this position we were working with a different recruiting firm that really wasn't giving us what we needed," Says Susan Hilscher, who explained that she searched for a gastroenterologist to her facility for nearly three years without much to show for it. When contacted by The Carlisle Group, Hilscher was at first hesitant to trust another physician recruiting firm. However, that soon changed.

"The referrals I got from other folks about The Carlisle Group said they were very successful and very professional," she explained. TCG at once got to work on Hilscher's opportunity, with Search Manager John Collmer immediately conducting a site visit for the facility and community.

He found that Oconee Medical Center uses the latest technology and treatment protocols combined with a commitment to quality and compassion to provide health care for the residents of Seneca, a town with a long history and beautiful lakes. "John was very professional, meeting with all of the critical people he needed to meet with," Hilscher described. "They were all very impressed."

Soon, The Carlisle Group procured a physician who was in search of a new opportunity and had immediately fallen in love with Seneca, South Carolina. TCG was able to locate the gastroenterologist for Oconee Medical Center in less than five months. Hilscher credits The Carlisle Group's optimized procurement strategy for successfully fulfilling her facility's physician placement needs. "It really does work for us," she explains. "TCG's Procurement has been surprisingly effective for what we need. We look forward to a continued relationship with them."

“We’ve had a wonderful experience, we have had wonderful success, and the results are really paying off." - Ken Shull, President and CEO of Highlands-Cashiers Hospital.

Irving, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/09/2009 -- Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Highlands-Cashiers Hospital of Highlands, South Carolina is a modern facility vital to the historic mountain region that was in need of an experienced internist. After enjoying success with The Carlisle Group in placing a primary care physician at his facility previously, President and CEO Ken Shull had no doubt in his mind that they would procure the most appropriate fit for the hospital. Now, less than two months after initiating the search, Highlands-Cashiers Hospital will welcome an experienced internist to their established staff of primary care physicians.

"We are very pleased to be working with The Carlisle Group," exclaimed Shull, describing how happy he has been with TCG's efficiency in seeking out and sourcing physicians for his opportunities. "When we had our needs for primary care physicians, they presented us with some great candidates and helped match our needs with the physician's needs."

It's no surprise that The Carlisle Group could present Highlands-Cashiers Hospital with so many great candidates for their opportunity. Highlands, North Carolina is located on a plateau in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Due to the town's elevation and a combination of abundant rainfall and sunshine, has a rich landscape that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. More and more of those visitors are beginning to move permanently to the region, which helped attract Highlands-Cashiers Hospital's new internist from California to the opportunity.

Ken Shull attributes his facility's physician recruiting success to a combination of The Carlisle Group's experienced search managers and optimized procurement. "Direct mail works sometimes, but it's hit or miss," explained Shull. "With TCG's optimized e-mail campaigns, they have really turned up with some great candidates."

"The Carlisle group really does provide Opportunities with Options," Shull continued. "We've had a wonderful experience, we have had wonderful success, and the results are really paying off. "

As explained by TCG Search Manager John Collmer, one of the biggest factors in any search is clear and timely communication. "Clients can really facilitate the process for their search by being responsive," said Collmer. "With Ken Shull, communication is never an issue." The Carlisle Group looks forward to continue bringing the same efficiency and effectiveness to Highlands-Cashiers Hospital and their physician recruitment needs.
