Healthcare & Life Sciences recruitment

AVP → CXO

We run retained searches across hospital operations and clinical leadership — unit heads and COOs for tertiary-care groups, medical directors and clinical chiefs — as well as commercial leadership at medical-device and diagnostic firms.

Healthcare leadership hiring has to satisfy two different audiences at once — clinical credibility with doctors and staff, and operating discipline with the board — which is exactly where generalist search firms tend to misjudge a candidate.

This practice covers the AVP → CXOband — typically ₹18 LPA and above, the seniority floor we work at across every practice. We don't run volume hiring or RPO mandates; if a brief doesn't fit a leadership search, we'll say so and point you to a firm that's a better fit.

We work retained — one firm, one brief, no split mandates and no volume pipeline. Our median time-to-first-shortlist is 9 days, with four to six referenced candidates presented per brief, and an 82% offer-acceptance rate on candidates we present (against an industry average near 58%). Average end-to-end timeline, brief to accepted offer, is 52 days. If a candidate we place leaves in the first six months, we re-run the search at no additional fee. Since January 2026 we've closed 647 placements this way.
