Medtech Recruitement Agency

Pact & Partners : Medtech recruitement agency

If you are a Medical Device or Medtech company preparing to enter—or rapidly scale in—the U.S. market, nothing will influence your success more than your first executive hire. The right general manager, chief executive officer, or chief operating officer will turn regulatory complexity, supply-chain hurdles, and competitive pressure into sustainable growth. The wrong hire will drain capital, slow time-to-market, and jeopardize investor confidence. Pact & Partners has built its entire Medtech executive recruitment practice around solving that challenge for foreign companies. Pact & Partners is the best Medtech Recruitment Agency in the United States.

Why Specialized Medtech Executive Search Matters

The U.S. remains the world’s largest and most sophisticated Medtech and Medical Device market, yet it operates under FDA regulations, reimbursement dynamics, and distribution models that are frequently unfamiliar to European and Asian innovators. Generic “life-sciences” headhunters rarely understand how Medtech and Medical Device differs from pharma, biotech, or digital health. Our boutique executive search firm focuses exclusively on Medical Device and diagnostics leadership hiring, ensuring you gain:

• Access to hidden C-suite talent who have already led 510(k) or PMA approvals, ASC adoption, and IDN contracting
• Insight into regional differences—from Boston’s robotics clusters to Silicon Valley’s wearables ecosystem
• Cultural alignment between headquarters and U.S. leadership so your brand identity stays intact while local execution excels

Our 6-Step Medtech Recruiting Method

Deep Discovery

We immerse ourselves in your technology, reimbursement pathway, culture, and growth milestones. Whether you need a CEO who can raise a Series C round, a VP of Market Access who speaks payer language, or a Chief Technology Officer to steer a connected-device roadmap, we define success up front.

Strategic Alignment

Early in the project, you receive sample candidate profiles and salary benchmarks for U.S. Medtech executives. This prevents mis-calibration and speeds time-to-hire.

Global Talent Mapping

Our Medtech headhunters proactively map every U.S.-based leader who has launched similar devices, managed multi-state sales teams, or scaled production under ISO 13485 and FDA QSR. We reach passive candidates after hours, on weekends, and through personal networks they trust.

Rigorous Vetting

Every finalist is screened for technical expertise, leadership mindset, DEI orientation, and the agility to navigate reimbursement, KOL engagement, and potential M&A.

Offer-to-Onboarding Support

We help craft compensation packages that blend salary, bonus, and equity. We also advise on relocation, visa strategy, and 90-day onboarding plans that build board confidence.

Follow-up & Retention

Quarterly check-ins with both client and executive ensure long-term alignment. Our retention rate after two years exceeds 96 percent.

The Competitive Edge for Foreign Medtech Companies

American mega-firms often impose off-limits restrictions that block them from approaching many of the very leaders you want to hire. Our selective client roster means we have far fewer conflicts. Add multicultural fluency—French, German, Hebrew, Mandarin, Japanese—and you have a search partner that speaks your language while sourcing U.S. market veterans.
