Move from a vacancy to a hiring decision
A usable brief lets the employer evaluate candidates consistently and resolve scope questions before interviews.
- Separate essential requirements from preferences.
- Set compensation and obtain approval for the role.
- Choose interviewers and decide who can approve the offer.
Prepare the role brief
Write down the information a candidate needs to evaluate the position before the search begins.
- Name the discipline and the required specialist credentials.
- Describe equipment, referral relationships and supporting staff.
- Define clinical autonomy, service development and on-call expectations.
Plan the work location in Austin.
Keep north, west, south and east Austin coverage explicit. Round Rock, Georgetown and Hutto are separate hiring locations from Buda, Kyle and San Marcos. Lakeway and Lago Vista should not be presented as interchangeable with an east-side practice in Manor or Bastrop. Identify each clinic address and any work across locations; do not infer a candidate’s commute from an Austin mailing label.
For a group with several hospitals, specify the home practice, the rotation and who controls the schedule. Include weekday and weekend expectations, overnight duties if applicable, and the clinical support present on each shift. Ask candidates to evaluate the actual location and schedule rather than describing every community as an easy commute.
