    About Us

    Your Global HealthTech Recruitment Partner.

    HealthTech spans software used to develop new therapies, run hospital systems and support care beyond the clinic, and it's expanding as AI becomes a standard part of clinical and commercial platforms and providers digitise operations that were paper-based a decade ago. A platform sold to pharmaceutical researchers has different users and buying processes from one used by clinicians or patients. That makes hiring highly specific. Teams need people who understand both the technology and where it will be used.

    As a global HealthTech recruitment agency, Barrington James supports growing businesses and established organizations across the US, Europe and Asia. Our healthtech recruiters help clients hire across commercial, product, clinical and leadership roles, matching each search to the product, its users and the experience the team needs.

    How We Can Help

    The HealthTech Markets We Support.

    HealthTech covers different products, buyers and users. The experience needed to sell software to a pharmaceutical R&D team can be very different from the experience needed to bring a platform into a hospital. We start with that distinction when discussing a role or a career move.

    We support businesses whose software helps pharmaceutical and biotechnology teams discover, develop and test new therapies. This includes platforms used in molecular design, clinical trials and in silico modelling. Roles here often call for people who understand both the drug development process and how software is sold, implemented or adopted.

    We work across technology used by healthcare providers and, in the US, health insurers. This includes electronic health records, interoperability, clinical workflows, billing and operational platforms, as well as software that supports clinical decisions. These businesses need people who understand how a product fits into day-to-day care and complex healthcare systems.

    We recruit for businesses developing technology that supports care beyond the clinic, including telehealth, remote patient monitoring, digital therapeutics and patient engagement platforms. These teams need people who understand the product, the people using it and what it takes to bring it into care.

    Explore Digital Health Recruitment

    Some HealthTech products have an intended medical use and may be classified as Software as a Medical Device. SaMD can sit within digital health or healthcare IT, so we consider each product’s purpose and the clinical, technical and regulatory experience needed for the role.

    Who We Place
    HealthTech Talent Across the Product Lifecycle

    Why Work With a Specialist HealthTech Recruiter?

    A candidate may have years of software experience but never have sold to a pharmaceutical R&D leader. Another may know the clinical setting well but have no experience taking a software product to market. The right background depends on the product, the buyer and the work the person will actually do.

    Christopher Gibson, who leads our HealthTech work, previously worked as a talent acquisition director within a life science software business. That experience shaped the team's approach: understand the platform and its users first, then look for the combination of sector and functional experience the role needs. For a product leadership hire in radiology AI, for example, that could mean experience developing software and understanding how radiologists work in practice.

    HealthTech Recruitment FAQs

    Frequently Asked Questions.

    HealthTech jobs often require an understanding of both the software and the healthcare or life sciences setting it's used in. We assess the sector knowledge and functional experience each role actually needs, rather than recruiting on technical skill alone.

    Yes, our HealthTech team covers commercial, product, customer success, solutions, implementation, clinical validation and leadership roles, and can bring in specialist colleagues across Barrington James for software engineering, data science and AI/ML hires.

    Yes. We work across the US, Europe and Asia and can support both individual appointments and multi-market hiring needs, search parameters are defined around role, location and local candidate availability.

    Commercial hires often need to understand both a complex software product and the people buying it. Selling a platform to pharmaceutical R&D teams, for example, calls for different knowledge from selling to a hospital or health insurer. We search for experience relevant to the product and its buyers.

    We have dedicated teams for both areas. Our HealthTech team recruits for life sciences software, digital health and healthcare IT, including the product, commercial, implementation and clinical talent behind those platforms. Our Medical Device and MedTech team recruits across devices and diagnostics, with expertise in engineering, regulatory, quality, clinical and commercial roles.

    Some products draw on both areas. For Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) and connected health technologies, our teams work together to cover the software, clinical and device expertise the hire requires.
