Whitman Partners Achieves Fastest Placement in Company History: A Triumph of Persistence and Strategic Collaboration
[PORTLAND, OR, FEBRUARY 8, 2024] – In a remarkable display of tenacity and strategic collaboration, Whitman Partners celebrates a historic achievement as Client Partner Rachel Butt secures the fastest placement in the company’s history. Butt’s persistent journey to secure a retainer from Trios Health took six months of relentless outreach, culminating in an impressive placement within just 52 days.
“I think our brand story is compelling enough that, regardless of how much I reached out, they got to a tipping point where the scarcity of candidates prompted them to respond to my emails and phone calls,” says Rachel Butt.
The success story is not just a testament to Butt’s perseverance but also highlights the collaborative efforts of Portfolio Manager Tyler Deacon and the outstanding candidate Michelle King. Their seamless collaboration resulted in a placement that set a new standard for efficiency in healthcare recruitment.
“Tyler happened to be in town when the contract came in, and we sat in my office and made a list of the 100 closest candidates to this hospital,” says Butt. “We divvied them up and called 50 candidates each.”
King was local and well-connected within the hospital and the larger community.
“That’s a tribute to her durability in the industry,” says Deacon. “She was confident and had a checklist of things she wanted.”
King’s desire for an organization supporting her growth aligned perfectly with Trios Health. The recruitment process moved swiftly, including a video interview and a comprehensive site visit. Butt and Deacon’s responsiveness and advocacy played a crucial role in King’s decision-making process.
“All those things helped make my decision easier because I had all the information I needed. They were strong advocates for me,” says King.
This accomplishment underscores Whitman Partners’ ability to streamline the placement process, making it remarkably hassle-free for clients. It also highlights the strategic tenacity required to navigate and succeed in the competitive landscape of healthcare recruitment.
