Executive Search

Expertise Customized to Your Needs

Powered by the size, strength and scale of AMN Healthcare, we boast the highest-caliber and most extensive network of C-suite and executive leadership talent in the industry. Our team is comprised of tenured, former senior healthcare executives who partner with you to deliver the right executive talent for your organization.  What can you expect from our executive search practice?

  • A team of tenured professional search executives that provide unparalleled insights into the complexities of healthcare delivery and health sciences education, as well as biopharma, device and other healthcare emerging technologies.  
  • Industry-leading performance  
    • 98% search completion rate 
    • 30% diverse placement rate 
    • 95% meet or exceed client expectation scoring 
    • 90% rate of repeat business. 
  • A competency map-based approach that connects the candidate’s “how” to the “what” and “why”, further driving risk from the hiring process as each candidate is assessed based specifically on how they meet culture and success measures of a specific organization. 
  • LEAN approach to the process lowers our completion days to an average of 146 days to fill for a C-Suite search.


Personalized Approach

We do not subscribe to the “one size fits all” approach to executive search. Instead, we take the time to get to know our clients well, understanding their strengths and challenges. Listening is the foundation of our search process which spans from organizational assessment to executive on-boarding.
