When Compensation Stands in the Way of Recruitment

You’ve identified the right candidate for a critical pediatric leadership role. But what happens when a “fair” offer isn’t going to seal the deal?

In our latest Pediatric Insight discussion, members of the Child Health Advisory Council (CHAC) tackle this common challenge. They share strategies for making the case for a better offer internally, navigating compensation negotiations, addressing salary equity and developing creative incentives that can make the difference in securing top talent.

This conversation also explores why department leaders should be thinking about their pediatric compensation strategy long before a search reaches the offer stage.
