Search Specialties

Insider Information: Within the world of search, staffing firms are broken down by verticals: IT, Engineering, Technical, Sales, Accounting/Finance, etc.

 

Within Engineering or Technical search, the medical device sector is often seen as highly specialized and challenging.

​

1. Niche Market: The medical device industry requires a deep understanding of regulatory requirements, clinical research, and cutting-edge technology, making it a niche market that demands specialized knowledge.

 

2. Complex Searches: Finding qualified candidates in this field can be complex and time-consuming due to the highly specific skill sets required. Candidate pipelines are often limited, so most recruiters must build relationships and networks from scratch.

 

3. Ignorance: Because medical device search requires understanding the nuances of the industry, recruiters don’t interview the same skill sets repetitiously enough to understand the difference between excellence in a skill set and mediocrity. Separate a high-performance Catheter Engineer from a not-so-high-performance Catheter Engineer? A can-do-attitude CRA or Clinical Project Manager from a that-is-not-my-job CRA or CPM? Not likely. So they simply match resume keywords to a light job description. HR, with several openings and more on their plate, often face the same challenges.

 

The result: Without specialized knowledge, technical management often ends up screening misfit or unqualified candidates, which can be time-consuming and potentially delay critical projects and revenue.

​

The solution: It’s real simple. Medical device search is all we do.
