About Us
We are behavioral scientists, performance coaches, executive and faculty recruiters, business intelligence analysts, and application engineers. We are passionate about what we do and who we partner with. We work synergistically to identify and study prominent industry pacesetters and innovators, notable individual contributors, and highly talented professionals in the healthcare industry. We help our clients meet their organizational goals by supporting their talent acquisition needs. Our goal is to help you build high-performance teams that propel you to incredible success.
Our executive, clinical faculty search, and clinical provider recruitment solutions are powered by artificial intelligence and behavioral science. We work with Board Chairs, Presidents, and Chief Human Resources Officers who are looking for much more than what traditional executive search firms offer. Our work has improved workforce performance and boosted organizational achievement nationwide. Antiquated talent acquisition techniques will not solve today’s workforce challenges. Therefore, we constantly explore, develop, test, and invest in building cutting-edge technology to serve our clients meaningfully. This mindset has earned us the title of trusted advisor and strategic partner.
