Who really is The Rottman Group and what are we all about?

• Mission
• Goals and Values

The mission of The Rottman Group: To be the most effective recruitment resource in the health care services industry. We will do this by developing, for each individual client and each individual need, a program that is an optimal function of quality, time, and cost.

Mission:

Everything we do is centered around the successful fulfillment of this mission. The wording, "most effective", is very specifically chosen. To understand us, you must understand what we mean by "most effective." This is not just the filling of a position or the accomplishment of a task, but rather: the optimal utilization of resources to create a desired result that is a function of quality, time, and cost. We truly believe that we address each of these issues from a client's perspective before we define the service we provide. The definition of those services and the depth of the relationship we are able to share is relative, based on your level of participation. ( back to top )

Goals and Values:

 

It is our goal, that after having the experience of working with The Rottman Group, your expectations will have risen to a level that no one else is able to meet. We understand the support, service, and most of all proactive quality results that are required to meet this goal.

Simple Listening. It is a concept that is so very basic, but so often neglected. It is because of this listening that, from our inception, we have continually enhanced what we do and how we do it. This is not our inability to be concrete, but rather the entrepreneurial spirit of continual reinvention that is the foundation of The Rottman Group.

Understanding: We seek to understand you first. We know that each organization is multifaceted and unique with its own identity, culture, values, and operation. Therefore, we do not have a set format for our relationship prior to listening to your needs, issues, and goals. Often we are able to help organizations define these things and evaluate what, if any, external resources (people, expertise, or information) may be utilized in order to maximize each client's success.

"YOAGAYLS" Translated, You're Only As Good As Your Last Search. It's often what matters to you most. A twenty year history of success is inconsequential if the value isn't there today. You should evaluate how good we, or anyone else, is today, in the present. Our successes of five years ago don't do much for you today: we don't rest on past success. We are focused on being the best we can be today and how we will be better tomorrow.

Relationship Builders:

Relationships have a very high value. When all that is material in life can be taken away, no one can take away relationships. Therefore, relationships of all types should be priorities. With the realization of this, we place an extremely high emphasis on building and maintaining quality relationships. In order for relationships to be long-term, they must provide for win-win experiences. We have an abundance mentality. In essence, someone doesn't have to lose for the other to win. It is only through both of us winning that either of us can continue in the relationship long-term. Therefore, we begin by designing our relationship so that it has the most successful chance of resulting in a win-win experience. We even develop safeguards to assure that many roadblocks that could arise are taken out of the road ahead of time.

Committed to our own Internal Quality: As your success depends on people, so does ours. Our standards are extremely high. Our commitment, within The Rottman Group, is to only hire, develop, and keep stars. You can be confident that each engagement is handled by a superior team of individuals that have demonstrated successes and are of one congruent mind- set.

Flexible: Because of our belief in adapting ourselves to meet your needs, we offer flexibility in designing compensation programs and measures of accountability for proactive, quality results. We have several programs that people have preferred that are very progressive, but are open to customizing new ones to individual clients.

Common Sense people: Sometimes not so common, we believe that life is relatively simple. There are not many issues that don't have pragmatic solutions. This is predicated on the assumption that open communication is the foundation of our relationships.

Operating in every way with Integrity: Integrity is a constant. It is beyond just ethics, it's our value system. Professionally, we function within the recruitment industry. You will find that our values, ethics, and integrity are set at the very highest standard and transcend a pure profit motivation. This is not only who we are, but what will consistently make us most successful long-term.

Committed to Service: We exist by serving others. If we were the type of organization that wanted our existence to have boundaries and limitations, our service would have limitations and boundaries. We are striving toward paramount accomplishment and excellence. The only limitations our service has is that which we are qualified and/or able to do. Therefore, we are dependable. We do not operate under the "fake it 'till you make it" philosophy. If there is something we are unable to do, we will tell you and help assist you in finding those resources. ( back to top )

Perspective:

For this relationship to achieve its maximum success, it will require that you be willing to be open to a new paradigm of what a relationship with an 'executive search firm' can be. (Maybe better thought of as: what a relationship with the right executive search firm can be.) It may be most descriptive of the relationship that we be characterized as something other than an executive search firm due to the limited role that search firms traditionally play relative to the partnership that The Rottman Group attempts to develop with our clients.

We must redefine how we perceive success in the recruitment process.

The traditional paradigm: success=position filled
Better paradigm: success=best possible person in the filled position

For example: If we start with the objective: Paint a picture. Both of the below fulfill that objective, but are they equal?

                                                                         

This may seem like a ridiculous or extreme example, but how far off is it? I believe the reason for this is very simple. Recruitment of management team members is only x% of the day to day functions of those executives involved in the process. These are people that have full agendas planned before a recruitment need occurs. Therefore when it does, where does this fall on a list of priorities. Also consider the fact that if only x% of a persons time is spent in management recruitment, is there the opportunity for these people to become "experts" in the recruitment and selection process? Sure, some are better than others, but do they even know why? By being recruitment experts, we bring a new level of understanding and experience to this important process. If every potter had better clay to work with, wouldn't they be better craftsmen? We want to help in giving executives the very best clay to work with. Couple this with the time it would take those executives to do this right, what is the value of the time and lifted burden that we can give by virtually taking this component off their plates and having it done better at the same time?
