How to use this resource
Choose a common scenario
State the role, agreed compensation basis, number of hires and expected service period. For relief, use the same dates and hours. For advertising, use the same campaign duration and spending limit.
Map when each charge becomes payable
List deposits, milestones, placement fees, subscriptions, advertising spend and pass-through charges only when they appear in the proposal. Record whether charges are refundable, credited or still due if the search stops.
Work through more than a successful hire
Calculate a completed hire, an employer cancellation and a search that ends without a hire. If repeat hiring is likely, ask what changes for the next hire and whether eligibility conditions apply.
Resolve differences before signing
Compare the same services and identify excluded employer work. Ask the provider to correct unclear terms in the written proposal. The signed agreement, rather than this worksheet, determines the actual obligations.
A worked example
Illustrative arithmetic only: a proposal with two $2,000 completed-work milestones and a $3,000 hiring milestone totals $7,000 if all three are earned. If the agreement makes the first two payable even without a hire, that no-hire scenario is $4,000. These example amounts are not BEGHR or competitor prices.
Apply the decision to the actual Bakersfield vacancy
Use the actual Bakersfield hospital address and verify whether it is inside city limits or unincorporated Kern County. Rosedale Highway is a corridor, while Delano is a separate Kern County city north of Bakersfield.
A Bakersfield search should distinguish the central hospital, a Rosedale corridor site and a separate Delano appointment. Define the species mix and any field work from the employer’s actual caseload rather than inferring them from Kern County’s geography.
Give every provider the same hospital address, clinical scope, work schedule, compensation structure and decision dates. Compare the plan for that brief. A result appearing for a city search does not prove a provider has a local office or available candidates there.
