Great Organizations Have Unique Leadership Needs

As the nation’s only top ten executive search firm that dedicates its practice to serving organizations that improve quality of life, Executive Linq has developed specialized practice areas in health care, life sciences companies, higher education, academic medicine and not-for-profit disciplines.  Our search teams use a customized approach to assess organizational dynamics, leadership goals and the competitive landscape specific to each organization.

Healthcare

There’s no easy way to understand the challenges facing healthcare organizations: system integration, the impact of health reform, patient safety, clinical best practices, electronic health records and declining reimbursement. Great leaders are the key to confronting these complex issues. But not all healthcare recruiters understand what great leadership looks like.

As one of the leading healthcare executive search firms - and the only top ten search firm dedicated to healthcare recruiting - Executive Linq has served as trusted advisors to the nation’s hospitals, health systems, academic medical centers, physician groups and other healthcare enterprises for more than 40 years. 

Our healthcare recruiters connect with your organization’s vision, structure and leadership needs.  We rely on our proven search methodology and the knowledge and collaboration of more than 80 expert search professionals nationwide.  Our consultants recruit leaders who inspire passion, champion quality and guide their organizations through turbulent times.

Hospital CEOs Transforming the Healthcare Delivery System 

Men and women who lead healthcare organizations today shoulder enormous responsibility – playing a critical role in transforming the nation’s delivery system and ensuring the health and welfare of their communities.  The most effective hospital and healthcare CEOs turn an organization’s vision into reality by inspiring others, building relationships across a wide range of constituents and putting the patient first.

Associations

Leaders of not-for-profit, voluntary organizations operate in a setting where performance is measured by the value of mission-driven programs and services provided to members. At the same time, they face pressures similar to their for-profit counterparts to provide more services with fewer resources.

Our association executive search team understands critical differences driving membership needs in state and national hospital associations and healthcare associations; professional membership societies; voluntary/supply chain alliances; disease specific associations and other not-for-profit organizations and foundations.  Our highly tailored association executive search process includes thorough exploration of an association’s unique culture and diverse membership expectations.  We find leaders who facilitate strategic thinking, communicate across volunteer and staff structures and deliver superior results.

Physician Leadership

Integrating physician leadership roles and incentives with hospitals and health systems may be the most important factor in transforming the nation’s healthcare delivery system. Dedicated and experienced physician leaders will be one of the most important factors in improving standards of care, taking costs out of the system, and driving clinical innovation.

Executive Linq has an impressive track record in finding experienced physician leaders on behalf of hospitals, health systems, integrated delivery systems, physician group practices and other organizations. Our search professionals with clinical and/or administrative backgrounds appreciate what healthcare organizations need in more traditional physician leadership roles such as chief medical officer, chair, chief and medical director, as well as leaders in integrated and independent group practices. We also stay connected with emerging physician leaders as healthcare organizations increasingly tap physicians for CEO roles.        

Advancement

Now more than ever, hospitals and health systems rely on philanthropy and strong relationships with constituents to address growing needs in their communities. With the toughest fund-raising environment in years, organizations need the right executive to lead the effort in conjunction with the board and CEO. 

Executive Linq’s dedicated team of consultants has deep experience in philanthropy search; many have held leadership positions in healthcare/not-for-profit philanthropy and development, as well as academic and healthcare administration. They finely tune each search to find dynamic leaders who can achieve fund-raising, marketing, alumni relations, communication and campaign goals.

Information Technology

Hospitals and health systems are investing millions of dollars in integrated information technology (IT)/informatics systems. The right IT leaders launch integrated clinical, financial and information solutions that advance the healthcare organization’s vision and mission to improve health.

Our IT practice team brings expertise and national prominence to the search for healthcare IT leaders: chief information officer; chief medical information officer; chief technology officer; chief quality officer; chief nursing information officer, among others.
