For Employers

A dedicated search, not a distributed one.

Retained means we work one search at a time, exclusively, with full accountability for the outcome — not a contingency race against every other firm with your job description.

The Engagement

What a retained search includes

Discovery & search strategy

Role definition, compensation benchmarking, and a realistic read on market position before we source anyone.

Market mapping

Direct outreach across our 20-year physician and APP network — passive candidates, not just active job-seekers.

Curated presentation

A short list of genuinely qualified, genuinely interested candidates. A volume funnel isn't the goal.

Offer & negotiation support

Through signed offer, not just introduction.

We also recruit APPs — nurse practitioners and physician assistants — as a core part of every relevant search, not an afterthought. Often the right hire is an APP, a physician, or a combination, and we help you think through which.
