Better Model, Better Results…

Our process begins with getting to know you as a client in order to understand your needs. We cannot begin to understand what you need or expect without first establishing and building a relationship. This initial relationship facilitates our ability to consult you on the best approach from our experience in the search industry. Our partner driven model allows each of our clients to have a consultant and partner who comes to understand your needs, wants, and concerns. In our experience with numerous hospitals and medical groups, our clients recognize that they are getting more than just another firm; they are developing partnerships with trusted advisors, who combine the experience of a global search firm with the agility and relationship of a smaller boutique firm.

We Guarantee Satisfaction

In today’s market, competition is everywhere, which is why people, firms, and corporations in most industries stand behind their services or products with risk-free guarantees. Most healthcare search firms, on the other hand, do not; they instead offer open-ended guarantees, which completely exclude them from any risk.  Their guarantees often consist of unattainable promises to fill a search or the prospect of simply conducting another search. These open-ended guarantees do no good when you are forced to change the search or fill the search on your own.

Our partner model was developed to truly partner with hospitals and groups for the client’s well being.  As a result, we assume the risk by offering a true service guarantee. Mackenzie Eason & Associates is the only national retained healthcare search firm that offers legitimate steps to fulfill our contract and a money-back guarantee if our client is unsatisfied.  We will refund one-half of the initial retainer if, for any reason, the client is not satisfied after 90 days. If we are not successful in our search, then you owe us nothing more. This is one of the reasons we will only accept searches when we know the industry, when clients' expectations are realistic, and when we are extremely confident that we can deliver.

Better Physicians, Better Medical Staff

At MEA, we strive to find the top tier talent for our clients’ organizations. MEA utilizes the Greeley Pyramid in educating our clients on the need for not just any physician, but the right physician. As seen from the Greeley Pyramid, the process starts with recruiting the right physician for your medical staff that is properly trained, licensed, board certified, and has no previous issues arising from past opportunities.

This allows our clients to develop a truly unique perspective to offer their patient base, and leads to less turn-over, fewer malpractice claims, and a medical staff that is more congenial. MEA’s goal is not to just fill your search right now, but to help develop your organization for the future.

Better Model, Better Results

Mackenzie Eason & Associates’ Partner Driven Model is statistically better. To accomplish this, we are structured very differently from our competition. Most healthcare search firms employ the classic "Marketing/Recruiter" model. In this model, a seasoned marketer secures an engagement with a client, only to hand the execution off to a less experienced associate who actually recruits the candidates. Although this model can work, its results are less than favorable. Research shows that successful search completion drops to 35% and the time-to-placement can more than double to 180-270 days.

Our model was designed to focus exclusively on execution. Utilizing our Partner-in-Execution methodology, our partners make all the calls on behalf of the client and are directly involved in all aspects of a search. This eliminates the "middle associate" who generally introduces inexperience to the project, delaying the search process. Through industry experience in completing searches on both sides of the “Marketing/Recruiter” model and in utilizing our alternative model, we have found that our approach brings the best results.
