Why Partner With Us?
Hiring Challenges We Solve.
Translating Clinical Needs Into Product Decisions.
A product leader needs to understand why a clinician or patient would use the software. We explore candidates’ experience turning those needs into product priorities and developing features that fit the setting in which the software operates.
Recognizing Relevant Clinical Experience.
The depth of clinical knowledge required varies by appointment. Some roles need direct experience in the relevant care setting; others need strong technical or commercial expertise. We establish where specialist knowledge is essential before defining the search.
Connecting Clinical Validation With The Product.
Clinical validation is part of the team’s recruitment coverage. For these appointments, we clarify the product, its intended use, and the responsibilities involved, then look for experience relevant to the clinical questions the role needs to address.
Explaining Value To Healthcare Customers.
Commercial candidates need to understand both the software and its relevance to healthcare users. We explore their experience engaging clinical stakeholders, explaining product value, and working through purchasing decisions involving different customer priorities.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions.
Everything you need to know about our SaMD recruitment approach, from how we source niche talent to how we support hiring across permanent and contract roles. If you don’t see your question here, our specialists are always on hand to help.
What is Software as a Medical Device?
Software as a Medical Device, or SaMD, is software intended to perform a medical purpose without being part of a hardware medical device. It can include certain diagnostic or treatment-related software functions. The product’s intended purpose is central to determining whether it falls within this category.
How does SaMD recruitment differ from broader medical device recruitment?
SaMD recruitment focuses on appointments supporting software that performs a medical purpose independently of a hardware medical device. The brief connects software expertise with the clinical understanding each role requires. Our broader medical device recruitment coverage supports a wider range of device products and businesses.
What experience do you assess when recruiting for SaMD businesses?
We assess the responsibilities candidates have owned, their software experience, and their understanding of relevant clinical users. A product appointment may need experience translating clinical requirements into development priorities, while a commercial role may need healthcare buyer knowledge alongside software sales expertise.
What medical software staffing support do you offer?
Our medical software staffing support covers permanent appointments, contract and freelance requirements, and executive search. We recruit across product, commercial, customer success, solutions, implementation, engineering, clinical validation, and leadership. Each search defines the functional skills and clinical understanding needed for the work.
