Q. Why should I go with a transition/outplacement firm like Wiederhold & Associates that is focused on healthcare?

A. 
1)  Firms that deal across industry lines have no particular expertise in any industry.  They do not understand the industry, its history and its trends.  You end up educating them.
 
2) If you are working out of one of their local offices, you will rarely mix with anyone from healthcare.

3) Their healthcare network of senior executives and recruiters is limited.  With Wiederhold & Associates' network, you will reduce your cold calls, not increase them.  Good introductions give you a leg up.  They make the journey more enjoyable and they get you where you want to go faster.

4) Most generic transition/outplacement companies are reducing their services.  They are limiting their programs to 6, 9 or 12 months.  We will limit our programs, when we have no other choice, but most of the time we can work with you through completion at the same investment that these other firms are asking for these shortened programs.  Those limited arrangements are truly not partnerships.

5) Most generic firms will sign you up with one person, but that is not the person you end up working with.  Not the case with Wiederhold & Associates.

6) We have a strong belief in success, not just through the transition, but right into your first six months in your new position.  At no additional cost, we work with you through that very important first six months in the new opportunity.

 
Q. Why should you choose Wiederhold and Associates when comparing them against other transition/outplacement firms also focused on healthcare?

A. There are a multitude of compelling reasons to use our services:
We are not just about theory; we get in the trenches with you.  Most of our competitors will bring you in for a two or three day training program and give you a manual and send you home.  They say "if you need something you can call."
 
1) We schedule ongoing phone meetings until you are finished. We deal with real world situations not just theory.

2) With Wiederhold and Associates you have your own research and job lead generation person at your disposal, not just a website to visit. You have associates at your disposal only a phone call or email away.

3) You are actively introduced to our national, not regional, healthcare network of senior level healthcare executives and healthcare recruiters.

4) We teach you a professional sales process because you are promoting the most important product you ever will, yourself. We have professional sales training, in our background.

5) We have a true national network with associates throughout the United States.   We are not regionally focused like many of our healthcare competitors.  Most healthcare executives do not stay on one place but move nationally throughout their careers.

6) Our references are outstanding.  If you are serious about us, we will make them accessible to you.

7) If you want to go the entrepreneurial route, we will get you there.  If your choice is consulting or interim work we can assist you there also.  It is your transition not ours.

8) And the bottom line is that we get better results than our competition.
