Testimonial from George C. Newman, MD-PhD, Chair, Neurosensory Sciences

I would like to take a few minutes to thank you for all of your help with our recruitments. I hope you are not embarrassed by this and would be pleased to have you share this with other potential chairs as an unsolicited letter of recommendation.

I first asked Einstein Medical Center to engage with you after your successful assistance in recruiting for a neurosurgeon. We had been attempting to hire a Director of Neurocritical Care for more than a year before our first contact and the available candidates were simply awful.  Within days of speaking with you I had more than half a dozen high quality candidates to select from and since then you have provided a steady stream of excellent candidates, culminating in our successful recruitment this month. Throughout the search you have been professional, have maintained close and unobtrusive communication, and continuously modified our profile to progressively narrow the search characteristics. You have been a valuable liaison between the candidates and myself whenever it seemed needed.

During the neurocritical search, we were so impressed with your professional approach that we also engaged you to help us recruit a general neurologist. Again, a large number of diverse candidates emerged, the profile was efficiently narrowed and we signed an outstanding person within months of beginning the search.

You have contributed significantly to the quality of our department and I wish to personally thank you for that. I anticipate that we will be just as successful in the new search that we have just started.
