Good managers are rare and have long since been snapped up

Long-term care facilities and rehabilitation centers are under significant pressure. A shortage of skilled workers, demographic change, increasing regulatory requirements, and limited resources shape their day-to-day operations.

As a result, leadership positions in particular often remain vacant for long periods or are filled only on an interim basis. This has a direct impact on the quality of care, team stability, and cost-effectiveness, since good leaders are usually strongly committed to their institutions.

The Gap Behind the Numbers

Care facilities and rehabilitation centers need the right people in leadership positions who:

  • Take responsibility for nursing care, patient care, and staff
  • Collaborate in an interdisciplinary manner with nursing, therapy, medicine, and administration
  • reliably meet legal requirements
  • combine a patient-centered approach with strong leadership skills

Recruitment consultants who do not specialize in the healthcare sector are usually unable to realistically assess these requirements and, as a result, provide inaccurate advice.

    FAQ: Executive Search for Nursing Facilities and Rehabilitation Centers

    • What does a staffing agency do for nursing facilities and rehabilitation centers?

      A recruitment consulting firm specializing in nursing facilities and rehabilitation centers fills executive and key positions—such as nursing service management, nursing director, facility director, and medical director—through targeted direct outreach. ESiS Medical does not place large numbers of nursing staff; rather, for over 22 years, it has focused on the leadership positions that determine a facility’s success.

    • How quickly can ESiS Medical fill a medical position?

      For many assignments, we find the right candidates for specialist and leadership positions within six to eight weeks. The key to this is a realistic assessment of the requirements and close coordination among all stakeholders.

      The overall placement rate is between 60 and 70 percent; for hard-to-fill positions, we achieve up to 90 percent.

    • Specifically, what positions in nursing and rehabilitation are you hiring for?

      We exclusively fill executive and key positions, in particular:

      • Nursing Services Management (PDL)
      • Nursing Administration
      • Facility and Residential Management
      • Medical Director
      • Transitional and Interim Appointments
    • Do you also work with smaller organizations?

      Yes. We work with both established organizations and growing companies that are filling a position involving medical or regulatory responsibilities for the first time.

    • What sets ESiS Medical apart from a traditional recruitment agency?

      We specialize in the healthcare sector and provide realistic advice before we begin our search. Many recruitment consultants provide candidate profiles without being able to assess the actual needs from a technical or regulatory perspective. We first clarify which qualifications and specializations are truly required, and then specifically target candidates who are a good fit both structurally and professionally. This saves time, money, and avoids unnecessary delays in the process.

      Our clients can count on our reliability, high availability, and support that extends well beyond the probationary period.

    • How much does your service cost for nursing homes or rehabilitation centers?

      Our fee consists of three equal instalments:

      1. 1st instalment: upon commencement of the search mandate
      2. 2nd instalment: upon signing of the employment contract
      3. 3rd instalment: upon successful completion of the probationary period

      We deliberately do not charge a percentage-based fee based on salary. This means that your investment is not based on the candidate’s salary, but on the success of the placement, and our fee remains unchanged even if the candidate’s salary increases in the future.

    • How do we get started working together?

      It’s simple: Schedule a no-obligation initial consultation. We’ll then work with you to analyze your situation, create a realistic job description, and develop a strategy for a successful hire.
