What Makes Our Screening Different

We screen for what actually predicts authorization success. Not just "warmth and communication," but the specific competencies that drive outcomes in high-stakes family conversations.

Emotional Regulation

Staying calm when families are angry, grieving, or in conflict

Language Precision

Choosing exactly the right words, pacing, and tone for each family

Trust-Building

Establishing credibility quickly with families in acute grief

Objection Handling

Addressing concerns about timing, mistrust, family disagreement

Coachability

Following frameworks while adapting authentically to each family

Schedule Reliability

Consistent availability for 24/7 on-call coverage

Why Passive Candidates Matter

The strongest candidates for authorization roles—professionals with proven emotional resilience, family communication skills, and mission alignment—aren't browsing job boards. They're working in hospice care, case management, chaplaincy, and grief counseling.

Your HR department doesn't have time to find them. We do.

Job Board Applicants

Candidates actively looking—often for a reason

Passive Candidates

Professionals thriving in adjacent roles who haven't considered donation work yet

End-of-life care experience with families in grief

Hospital Case Managers

Complex family communication and care coordination

Grief Counselors

Bereavement specialists with thanatology training

Healthcare Chaplains
