One Search Partner. Multiple Ways to Engage.

Every healthcare organization has different hiring volume, urgency, approval processes, and budget structures. Med-Hunters offers several search structures so the commercial model can match the hiring situation while the search discipline stays consistent.

Contingency Healthcare Recruiting

A success-based permanent recruiting model in which the professional fee is tied to a completed hire under the terms of the search agreement. It can fit organizations that want external recruiting support without a fully retained search structure.

Retained Healthcare Search

A dedicated search structure for executive, leadership, confidential, urgent, and highly specialized roles where deeper market coverage, sustained outreach, and clear accountability are especially important.

Subscription-Based Search

A recurring search arrangement for organizations managing multiple ongoing openings or predictable hiring demand. The structure can make recruiting spend easier to plan while maintaining a consistent search process across roles.

Annual Search Partnerships

A planned partnership for organizations that expect multiple searches across the year and want a consistent recruiting partner, search methodology, and commercial framework.

What Every Search Engagement Includes

The engagement model changes how the search is structured commercially. The core work remains disciplined and high-touch.

  • Search intake and success-profile alignment
  • Market research and candidate mapping
  • Direct outreach to active and passive talent
  • Specialty-informed screening and qualification
  • Candidate presentation with decision-relevant context
  • Interview scheduling, feedback, and process management
  • Compensation and offer communication support
  • Counteroffer and fall-off risk conversations
  • Post-start follow-up

Specialty Recruiting Where Generalist Search Falls Short

Healthcare roles are not interchangeable. A credible search depends on understanding the setting, specialty, credentials, schedule, call, leadership expectations, compensation realities, and career tradeoffs that shape a candidate's decision.

A Smarter Way to Evaluate Recruiting Cost

Recruiting fees are easy to see. Vacancy costs are harder to measure, but an open specialized healthcare role can affect patient access, overtime, team morale, leadership bandwidth, service-line performance, continuity of care, and revenue.

A well-run search can improve budgeting predictability, expand access to qualified candidates, surface fit issues before interviews, and reduce avoidable late-stage surprises. The goal is not simply to fill a seat. It is to reduce the time, uncertainty, and operational drag surrounding a critical vacancy.

Choose the Structure That Matches the Search

Contingency — Best when you want a success-based permanent search model tied to a completed hire.

Retained — Best when the role is critical, confidential, executive, leadership-level, scarce, or demands dedicated market coverage.

Subscription-based — Best when you have multiple ongoing openings or recurring recruiting demand.

Annual partnership — Best when you expect planned searches across the year and want one consistent recruiting partner.

Exact fees, guarantees, exclusivity, scope, and timing are governed by the applicable search agreement.
