Medical Devices & Med Tech Recruiters

Our Approach to Medical Devices & Medical Technology Recruitment

Keller is cognizant of the unique challenges that plague companies in the MedTech and medical device industry with regards to finding the right candidates to join their teams. We also acknowledge that every business is different and adjust our search strategy accordingly. This ensures we source candidates whose career goals, personality, and professional standards are in complete alignment with our client’s existing workforce.

We begin every engagement with a discovery phase where we assess our client’s current talent bench and discuss their expectations for the search. With this information in hand, we create a brief that will guide the rest of the assignment and allow us to hone in on the type of candidate our client wants to hire.

From there, our recruitment consultants start scouring the market for potential candidates. We consider both active and passive candidates for the role and make every effort to eliminate unconscious bias from the selection process. This means we do not discriminate against individuals based on their gender, age, or ethnicity. We do this to keep the talent pool as diverse as possible, leaving no stone unturned in our search for the perfect candidate.

Next, we rigorously assess every potential match we encounter for the role by conducting cognitive and psychometric testing, competency interviews, and background checks. This meticulous screening process ensures we present only the most qualified candidates to our client’s hiring manager, who holds the ultimate authority on who to hire.

Behind Our Recruitment Process

In the past, we used the same hiring process for every company. This standard approach sufficed for generic positions, but failed when it came to recruiting experienced professionals for high-level roles.

We learned this lesson during an important project for a major client. They needed us to find a new executive, but we opted to stick with our one-size-fits-all approach instead of tailoring it to their needs. This decision proved ill for the outcome of the search.

While the candidate we presented was highly qualified, they did not gel with our client’s existing team. This, as several of our team members may remember, created tension between them and their peers, damaged morale, and eventually led to the new hire’s departure. Though disappointing, this setback motivated us to completely rethink our recruitment method.

We rebuilt our entire process in such a way that it could be adapted to suit each client’s specific hiring needs. This customer-focused approach still forms the foundation of how we operate today and has helped us grow into the respected executive search company that organizations now trust to fill their most challenging roles.

Yet, despite our success, we know that continuous improvement is essential to remain one of the top executive search firms worldwide. For this reason, we value all feedback, questions, and constructive criticism from our clients.
