Medical Device Industry Talent Acquisition Trends
One of the most important considerations in hiring for the medical device industry is keeping up-to-date on the latest trends. This means observing both the trend of medical devices and acquisition trends affecting medical device executive search.
The medical device industry is adjusting to trends in unique device identification and 3D printing. At the same time, customers are seeking increasingly sophisticated capabilities. Our medical device headhunter team partners with companies across the medical equipment value-chain to provide the right talent quickly, flexibly and affordably. Some of the key trends driving talent acquisition requirements include:
Reimbursement Recruiting
- Reimbursement growth. Third-party payers are reevaluating their payment policies to constrain rising healthcare costs. Several elements of the current healthcare landscape limit reimbursement growth for hospitals, which form the largest market for medical devices. Lower reimbursement growth will likely persuade hospitals to scrutinize medical purchases by adopting higher standards to evaluate the benefits of new procedures and devices. Moreover, they’re likely to take a more disciplined price bargaining stance.
- Price control considerations. With more procurement practices affected by more stringent budgeting, medical device and pharmaceutical companies have begun exploring more cost-efficient and margin-conscious production standards. As reimbursement considerations rise, they continue to dictate price control standards.
Product Development and Marketing Recruiting
- Product value. With the increasing emphasis on value and cost throughout the healthcare system, medical device companies also need to create products that have greater value. This, without compromising device functionality or integrity, and maximizing longevity. This balancing act requires executive leadership rooted in innovative product development and marketing.
- Strategic product development. Creating value for the end consumer requires innovation and product development to develop products that cater to the end user in terms of cost, functionality, and reliability. It also requires more effective marketing communication and training of healthcare professionals to demonstrate and realize a higher value proposition.
International Business Development and Regulatory Recruiting
- International strategy. Emerging economies are claiming a growing share of global healthcare consumption—including medical devices and related procedures—owing to relative economic prosperity, growing medical awareness, and increasing aging populations. As global health expenditure continues to increase, sales to countries outside the U.S. represent a potential avenue for revenue. This leads to the recruiting needs for professionals and expert consultants with international business development, distribution, and regulatory experience.

From healthcare to e-commerce, construction to transportation, demand for qualified executives is on the rise across every industry—including the medical devices industry. It’s more imperative than ever to move quickly to fill these positions and to ensure the person you’re installing is capable of distinguishing themselves by delivering results.
