Client Testimonials

"Physician Recruitment for a rural Critical Access Hospital is no easy task. In seven years, I have collected an entire drawer full of contracts from contingency fee companies who say, when you sign the contract, they are going to produce the next best perm physician candidate.

Only 2 files in that drawer belong to companies that have actually lived up to that promise - one is Cathy Sweeney and Medical Staffing Options. AND Cathy Sweeney has been the only recruiting firm that has multiplied that success to meet our needs.

Her services do not end when she sends the CV, rather she stays active every day until the contract is signed and returned, licensure is applied for and obtained, the moving truck has arrived, the dishes are unpacked, and a toast is declared. She knows how to pick the right candidates and build the relationships from day 1 that will ensure a happy candidate family and new physician employee. I couldn't recommend any other contingency physician recruiting specialist.... She truly is a specialist."

"It has been a pleasure to work with Cathy Sweeney on a number of physician searches. Cathy assisted, and was successful with the recruitment of an urologist, two obstetricians and one hospitalist. I always felt Cathy was always engaged with these searches and only presented candidates that met our profile.

Additionally, she always kept me up to date on the status of these searches. I very much enjoyed our relationship and would highly recommend Cathy to anyone who is actively recruiting physicians."

"It has been such a pleasure working with Cathy Sweeney for the nine years that I have been the facility Physician Recruiter at Parkview Medical Center. Cathy has successfully placed Twenty Five physicians with our facility. This placement ratio is leaps and bounds above any other recruiting firm that we work with. She has placed physicians in almost every specialty with us including Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Neurosurgery, OB/GYN, Neurology, General Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Gastroenterology, Pediatrics, Pulmonology and Endocrinology. We are continually asking her to help us fill our most difficult searches, and she continues to exceed our expectations.

I am directly working with numerous recruiters, but Cathy has been exceptional to work with. She is definitely an A Player in Parkview's eyes. Her level of professionalism sets her apart from all others in the field. She is responsive, personable, professional and sends credible candidates that have been informed about your particular opportunity. She goes above and beyond what is expected and I wanted to acknowledge the excellent service we receive from her. In addition, I continually receive positive feedback from the physicians who have worked with her.

Though she is working for us under a contingent agreement, we receive far beyond the service a retained firm would provide. She researches our community, assists with travel and follows the process from clearing the C.V. to the physician relocation. Parkview will continue to work with Cathy whenever possible, and in fact, would love her to recruit physicians for all the specialties/primary care searches we are conducting."
