Gary Josephsen, MD, shows how to sidestep the obstacles emergency medicine physicians face when hiring team members: the of lack time, cognitive biases inherent in the interview process, and the costly consequences of hiring the wrong person. By switching the focus to seeking specific skills rather than traditional candidate vetting, physicians will have greater success in hiring the best person for their team. This tool is a step by step guide for the entire process: Advertising Creating a skill scorecard specific to the vacant position Conducting initial phone-screening interviews Conducting focused and longer CV interviews to discuss the candidate's employment history and training Creating strategies to decide between candidates Delegating various steps of the process Providing regular feedback and fostering an environment to increase retention after a hire are also critical. This helpful guide goes beyond finding the best people to keeping them from going elsewhere. This book is the sole work on hiring emergency-medicine physician assistants and nurse practitioners. The demand for these jobs will only increase with time-Josephsen will help you keep up and hire only the best.
