*Note: This is the third installment in a seven-part series on best practices in physician executive recruiting. *

**Part III:**

**Creating a “resource compendium”**

The hiring manager should begin compiling a resource compendium outlining all the information about the job and department the candidate will lead. The compendium will include such things as:

- Organizational chart(s)
- List of personnel (doctors, mid-levels, nurses, administration, and support staff)
- Copies of staff CVs
- A full outline of services provided, programs offered, etc.
- Special procedures offered
- Special equipment
- Hours of operation
- Budget reports
- Revenue reports
- Square footage and layout
- Opportunities for growth
- Challenges or roadblocks
- Research activities
- Educational opportunities
- Department turnover and recruitment activities

Start this process early. It may take a month or two to complete.
