HumanWorks places Director- and VP-level operations leadership at health systems, consulting firms, and health tech companies — and management talent across hospitality — led by a recruiter who built his career inside the institutions he now serves.
We work where operational leadership decides whether the organization delivers — and where the wrong hire costs far more than the search.
Director- and VP-level operations leadership for New York health systems, academic medical centers, and physician enterprises — placed by a recruiter who ran strategy inside a major academic medical center and a Blues plan.
Healthcare search →Manager-to-Principal hires for boutique strategy and healthcare advisory firms, evaluated by someone who has actually staffed and delivered consulting engagements.
Consulting search →Operations, partnerships, and growth leaders for digital health companies — screened by a recruiter who has sat on the institutional buyer's side of the table.
Health tech search →General managers, food & beverage directors, and multi-unit restaurant leadership, backed by one of North America's largest hospitality recruiting networks.
Hospitality search →Our founder held strategy roles at Blue Cross Blue Shield and Rush University Medical Center and consulted at A.T. Kearney. We evaluate operations leaders the way your executive team would — not from a keyword match.
Every search builds a proprietary, continuously maintained talent database. We rarely start from zero — and as a Patrice & Associates franchise we draw on a 30-year national recruiting network.
No resume leaves our hands without the candidate's explicit consent, and no search detail leaves ours without yours. Discretion is the foundation of the practice.
A working session with the hiring executive: mandate, culture, compensation, and the non-negotiables.
Targeted sourcing from our proprietary database and national network — not a job-board posting.
Structured interviews, reference checks, and compensation alignment before any introduction.
Offer management, onboarding support, and 90-day post-placement follow-through.
Every inquiry gets a reply from a real person within one business day.
