Search that goes
beyond the résumé.

Every engagement is conducted with the rigor of a retained search and the personal attention your organization deserves. No handoffs, no junior recruiters — one dedicated expert at every step.
Industry Depth
12 years as an operator across behavioral health, healthcare, and gaming — not just a recruiter looking in from outside.
Precision Matching
We evaluate for leadership potential, cultural alignment, and long-term retention — not just credential checklists.
C-Suite & Director
Specialized in placing senior leaders — CEOs, CNOs, GMs, VPs — who move organizations forward.
Retained Quality
Every search is a partnership — full transparency, structured timelines, and unwavering commitment to your outcome.
Placing CEOs, CMOs, CNOs, and program directors across residential, outpatient, and integrated care settings.
C-suite and VP-level placements for hospitals, physician groups, managed care, and specialty practices.
GMs, VPs of Operations, Marketing, Finance, and HR across commercial and tribal casino properties nationwide.
Beyond placement: succession planning, compensation benchmarking, and talent advisory for growing organizations.
How we
find the right fit
A structured, transparent search process built on deep industry knowledge and genuine partnership — from intake to onboarding.
We learn your organization, culture, and what success looks like before writing a single job description.
Active sourcing across our deep network — not just job boards. We find candidates who aren't looking yet.
Behavioral interviews, reference checks, and cultural fit analysis. You only meet candidates we genuinely believe in.
Offer negotiation, onboarding guidance, and post-placement check-ins to ensure lasting success.
Three sectors,
deep expertise
We don't try to be everything to everyone. Our focus on three verticals means you get a recruiter who genuinely knows your world.
From single-site treatment centers to multi-state systems, we place leaders who understand both the clinical and business sides of care delivery.
Acute care, specialty practices, and health systems — we recruit senior leaders who navigate regulatory complexity while driving operational excellence.
Commercial and tribal casino properties require leaders who move fast and understand the intersection of hospitality, entertainment, and gaming operations.
your next leader?
