At the Director and VP level, a missed hire costs a year of momentum. We run focused searches in four practices where we have genuine, first-hand operating knowledge — and we tell you when we're not the right firm.
Director of Operations · VP Operations · Service-Line & Practice Administrators · Ambulatory & Network Operations Leaders
Most healthcare recruiters come from clinical staffing and talk in requisitions. Our founder ran strategy at Rush University Medical Center and Blue Cross Blue Shield before he ever recruited — so when we screen an operations leader for a New York health system, we evaluate them the way your COO would: throughput, labor models, physician relations, capital discipline, and whether they can actually lead through a budget season.
Manager · Senior Manager · Director · Principal — strategy & healthcare advisory firms
Consulting hires fail on fit and pace, not credentials. Having worked as an A.T. Kearney consultant with a Duke MBA in strategy and health sector management, our founder evaluates candidates on the things firm leaders actually care about: can they run a workstream unsupervised, hold the client relationship, and sell the next engagement. Utilization and engagement economics are part of our intake — not vocabulary we learned from your job description.
VP Operations · Partnerships & Growth Leaders · Clinical Operations · Customer / Market Leaders
Most tech recruiters can't tell you why a health system buys — or stalls. We've sat on the institutional buyer's side at a payer and an academic medical center, so we screen growth and operations leaders for digital health companies on the question that matters: can this person navigate a hospital's decision process and deliver after the contract is signed?
General Managers · Food & Beverage Directors · Executive Chefs · Multi-Unit Restaurant Leadership
As a Patrice & Associates franchise, we recruit with one of the largest hospitality recruiting networks in North America behind us — 30+ years of placement history and a continuously refreshed bench of hotel, restaurant, and food service management talent. Local market judgment in New York, national reach everywhere else.
You pay only on a successful hire. Best for well-defined roles where speed matters and the market is deep enough to run competitively.
A committed engagement for senior, confidential, or hard-to-fill mandates — dedicated attention, structured updates, and a defined search plan.
For healthcare and consulting clients: a short operations assessment first, so the role we search for is the role you actually need. Strategy first, search second.
Every engagement includes structured vetting, reference checks before introduction, offer management, and 90-day post-placement follow-through.
A short, confidential conversation about the mandate — no commitment, and a clear recommendation on the right way to run the search. We reply within one business day.
