The right person isn't applying
Healthcare-technology roles are hard to fill — not for a lack of applicants, but a lack of the right ones. We cut through the noise: we find the specialists who genuinely fit, vet them properly, and bring you a short, considered shortlist — never a flood of CVs.
Why has this role been open for months?
How do I reach people who aren't applying?
Is this candidate really as good as the CV?
FHIR R4 or R5 — does this engineer actually know?
How do I assess clinical fluency in a non-clinical hire?
How do I hire a CMIO who's both clinical and technical?
Permanent or contract for this build?
How do I run a confidential search?
Who genuinely does mission-critical commissioning?
How do I cut through 100 applications to the one that fits?
Specialist, not generalist
We work only in healthcare technology and the AI behind it — so we know the difference between a model engineer and a data engineer, a CMIO and a CNIO, FHIR R4 and R5. We represent people who genuinely fit, not profiles that match keywords.

Relationship over transaction
We're not a volume agency. We'd rather make one excellent placement than ten forgettable ones — working quietly, and with care on both sides.

Honest by design
In a market full of inflated CVs, our value is simple: when you hear from us, the person we bring you is real, capable and right. We vet for integrity as rigorously as for skill.

ABOUT THE PRACTICE
We're Vital Healthcare AI Talent — built on trust, not volume.
We're a specialist healthcare-technology search practice — deliberately focused, deliberately selective. We represent a small number of genuinely excellent people, and work with a small number of clients who value fit over flood. We'll never send a CV we haven't vetted, never inflate a candidate to win a fee, and never put our name behind someone we wouldn't hire ourselves.
Vetted by the founder
Every candidate we represent is personally vetted. If our name's on them, it's because we'd hire them ourselves.
Anonymous-profile first
You assess people on merit — names are released only with the candidate's consent, for your specific role.
No fee unless we place
Permanent placements only, backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee.

Step
1
Understand
We start by learning your role, your team, and the exact skills you need — a real brief, not a generic one.

2
Source & vet
We find specialist healthcare-technology talent and vet them properly — skills, track record, and fit — before you ever see a profile.
Step
4
Place & protect
We guide both sides through offer and onboarding, backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee. No fee unless we place.

Side-by-side, the choice is easy
Two ways to hire your next healthcare-technology specialist. One gets you the right person — vetted, confidential, guaranteed. The other? A pile of CVs and a lot more work, for the same seat to fill.
