Yes. Specialist Search is non-exclusive, so you can continue your own recruitment activity and use other suppliers. Clear communication about candidates already in your process helps avoid duplicate introductions.

There is no upfront recruitment fee for our standard Specialist Search service. A fee becomes payable following a successful placement, in accordance with the terms agreed before the search begins.

We recruit across the MedTech and Digital Health product lifecycle, including design and development, software and engineering, quality and regulatory affairs, scientific and clinical roles, manufacturing and operations, and commercial leadership. Each search is shaped around the experience your product and business require.

We begin with a detailed conversation about the role, your product, your team and the outcomes the person needs to deliver. We distinguish essential experience from skills that can be developed, discuss salary and market availability, and agree how candidates will be assessed.

We combine our specialist networks with targeted research, direct approaches and relevant advertising. We speak with candidates about their experience, motivations and expectations, then assess their suitability against the agreed brief. We introduce people with their agreement and explain the relevant detail behind each profile.

We aim to present a strong shortlist within five working days of an agreed brief, introducing suitable candidates as the search progresses. Particularly specialised or senior appointments may need longer. We agree expectations at the outset and keep you updated on progress and market feedback.

We coordinate interviews, gather feedback, help resolve questions and support the offer process. We also stay in touch through the notice period and after the candidate joins, helping both sides prepare for a positive start.

We agree the fee and applicable rebate or replacement provisions with you before starting work. These are set out clearly in your terms of business, including eligibility and payment requirements.

If you can appoint one agency partner for the vacancy, Exclusive Search gives us greater certainty to commit time to research, candidate engagement and a carefully assessed shortlist. It also offers preferential commercial terms and extended protection, as agreed for the assignment.
