We’re happy to announce the hiring of Galen Roberts, the newest member of the Jordan Search Consultants’ team. As a Search Consultant, Galen will conduct and manage nationwide search assignments.
We had a Q&A session with Galen to help you get to know him a little better.
Why did you choose a career in recruitment?
I really enjoy the relationship-building aspect of recruiting. I respect and appreciate the trust clients place in me, and my work ethic revolves around honoring and retaining that trust. I’ve successfully recruited a significant number of healthcare providers for a wide variety of positions in both urban and rural locations, and for a range of time parameters, from contingent needs to locum tenens (short-term) service to long-term placements. I derive a lot of satisfaction from successful placements, particularly the ones that were especially challenging. It feels great to do the type of work that benefits everyone involved.
Why did you choose JSC?
I first became interested in JSC because of their outstanding reputation in the healthcare recruitment industry. After I met everyone in person, I knew I wanted to work here. I like the personality of the company, and JSC is very family-friendly, which is something I was looking for. One of the most important and appealing characteristics of JSC is that everyone works together as a team to provide the best possible service and results for our clients. I’m very impressed with the depth of recruiting knowledge here. Plus, the access to extensive sourcing methods is invaluable. The fact that JSC is such an outstanding and successful organization can undoubtedly be traced to the leadership skills and guidance of Kathy Jordan. I’m excited to be part of her team.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
I’m acutely aware that finding the right employee for a position is vitally important in a healthcare setting. I put a lot of time and effort into finding qualified candidates who will be a good long-term fit for organizations. It’s a bit like being an investigator, gathering and sorting through different information to figure out the whole picture and then finding that right candidate. It’s immensely rewarding when all that hard work pays off with a placement.
What are your favorite pastimes?
Going to my son’s baseball games and school events is at the top of my list. I also enjoy going to concerts and taking in live music. And to soak in the peace and quiet of the great outdoors, I like to head out of the city for some camping, usually by a river so I can float or kayak.
What’s a fun fact that most don’t know about you?
I was the drum major for the marching band when I attended Emporia State University in Kansas.
What do you bring to JSC?
I bring in-depth healthcare recruiting experience and a proven track record of successful placements for a wide variety of positions. And because I’ve worked as an in-house recruiter for a healthcare facility, I have first-hand knowledge of what JSC clients need and how to best serve them. I’m able to build genuine relationships with clients because I truly care about helping them find the right person for the position—their search for the right providers is as personal to me as it is to them.
