Healthcare hiring where the regulatory surface is half the job.
We place senior talent at digital health companies, medical device firms, healthtech scale-ups, and biotech-adjacent technology teams. Engineering, product, clinical leadership, regulatory, and executive search — calibrated to HIPAA, FDA, and Health Canada / PMDA realities.
The healthcare & digital health market, honestly.
Healthcare is the vertical where under-calibrated hires fail hardest. A senior engineer without HIPAA awareness will ship the wrong thing in month one. A product manager without clinical empathy will design around the wrong user. A General Counsel without FDA fluency is unusable. Our healthcare searches calibrate explicitly against the regulatory and clinical surface of each client's product — direct-to-consumer digital health is a different candidate pool than provider-facing clinical software, which is different from medical device software, which is different from biotech-adjacent platforms.
What we see in healthcare & digital health.
- HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2 fluency is non-negotiable for senior technical hires
- FDA classification (Class I / II / III) drives the level of regulatory depth required
- Clinical vs consumer healthcare are distinct hiring markets with different candidate pools
- Provider-facing vs payer-facing software needs different product instincts
- Health Canada, PMDA, and international regulatory awareness matters for global companies
- Senior clinical leadership (Chief Medical Officer, VP Clinical Ops) is a retained specialty

How healthcare & digital health compensation differs.
- Healthcare engineering pays comparable to general SaaS once you filter for HIPAA experience
- Clinical leadership (CMOs, VP Clinical) comp runs high due to MD credentialing requirements
- Regulatory affairs specialists carry 10–20% premiums vs general compliance leaders
- Digital health consumer companies pay closer to consumer-tech bands than healthcare-legacy
Who we work with in healthcare & digital health.
- Digital health Series A–D scale-ups (consumer, provider, or payer-facing)

- Biotech-adjacent technology platforms
- Enterprise healthcare incumbents building new digital product organizations
Healthcare & digital health hiring — questions we hear.
Both. Chief Medical Officer and VP Clinical searches are a specialized retained practice for us — they require credentialing awareness and clinical network depth that general executive search firms lack.
Yes. Regulatory Affairs leadership for Class II and III devices is a specialized retained search. The candidate pool is small; we calibrate through back-channel references with former FDA submissions leads.
Hiring across verticals?
Most scale-up hiring spans multiple verticals — a healthtech company hires SaaS-native engineers, a fintech needs enterprise-grade security. We calibrate per role.
