Video Conference Interviews Fiordalis Associates was one of the pioneers in utilizing this tool to save our clients' time and money. "See" the candidate (and spouse when appropriate) before deciding to issue an invitation for a face-to-face interview. We can also develop a notebook of background materials on the candidate. In Person Candidate Interviews You may choose to bypass the video and meet the candidate(s) in person. At your discretion, we can sit in with you and your team and participate in the interviewing process at your site.

Reference Checks We can contact as many references per candidate as you would like and provide a written summary of the reference's comments. Additionally, we can verify credit standings, motor vehicle records, state felony and misdemeanor records, education, etc. For a physician, we can also verify licensure information, possible disciplinary actions taken by various state boards, certifications and the like. The actual "credentialing" of the physician still must be done by the healthcare delivery organization that grants authorization to the physician through its governing body to provide specific patient care and treatment services within defined limits. "Represents the client in a professional, discreet, and thorough manner." To learn more about the costs and benefits of our Reference Check Package, click here.
