Experience
- Client: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
- Placement: General Counsel
- Challenge: How do you recruit an outstanding health-care lawyer with general counsel experience to play an essential role in a very cohesive senior management team?
- Strategy/Action: BIDMC had given a great deal of thought to their needs before retaining us. We met with their senior management to discuss these criteria, which included both substantive health-care experience and the approach they were looking for in an experienced general counsel. After these meetings, we identified and vetted possible candidates. After a long search, we lost the top candidate to an unrefusable internal promotion. Time was pressing, so we needed to quickly rethink our strategy. An alternative approach was embraced, and the position was successfully filled.
- Result: “BIDMC appointed an existing member of the senior management team to general counsel, and crafted a new position of deputy general counsel, which we filled with one of the top candidates Jane Sender had presented. Senior management and the board of directors have been thrilled with the decisions and we could not have been happier with the process and the outcome of the search”. - Lisa Zankman, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
