After struggling for months to fill our Director of Surgical Services position, we partnered with this recruiting firm and were amazed by the results. They presented us with a slate of candidates within two weeks, all of whom had the exact perioperative leadership experience we needed at Legacy Health. Their understanding of surgical operations and the Portland healthcare market was impressive. The director we hired has successfully led our expansion of robotic surgery services. We’ve since used them for three more leadership positions.

Finding the right Chief Nursing Officer is crucial for any hospital system, and this recruitment firm exceeded our expectations in every way. They thoroughly understood the unique challenges we face as a growing system in southern New Jersey and found candidates who had the right experience with similar demographic populations. The CNO they placed with us at AtlantiCare has dramatically improved our nurse retention rates and patient satisfaction scores. We’ve continued to use them for other nursing leadership positions with equally impressive results.

As a medium-sized health system, finding the right Service Line Administrator for Oncology was critical to our growth strategy at Baptist Health South Florida. This recruitment firm found us candidates with exactly the right mix of clinical knowledge and business acumen we needed. Their understanding of oncology service lines and the Miami healthcare market was extraordinary. The administrator they placed has successfully launched two new tumor site-specific programs. Their follow-up throughout the onboarding process was exceptional.

When we needed to hire both a Director of Emergency Services and an ED Medical Director simultaneously, this firm managed the complex search with impressive precision. They understood the unique challenges of our Level II Trauma Center at Palomar Health and found candidates with the right experience level. The leadership duo they placed has transformed our emergency department metrics and staff satisfaction scores. Their ability to coordinate these concurrent searches while keeping both roles aligned was remarkable. We’ve since partnered with them for several other critical leadership positions.
