What if recruitment actually meant search again?

Not firing off CVs. Not chasing KPIs. Not “spray and pray.”

But sitting across from a founder, understanding what really moves the needle in their business… and then going out and finding the one person who can change everything.

That’s the shift.

Executive Search Consultant – MedTech (Medical Imaging & AI)

📍 Leeds (3 days in the office, 2 from home)

There’s a boutique in the MedTech space doing things differently.

They operate at the sharp end of the market: C-suite, VP and board hires - while also helping scale companies through capital raises (£10–100m rounds) and connecting some of the most ambitious MedTech CEOs in a growing international community.

It’s not high-volume.

It’s not transactional.

And it’s definitely not built on e-shot culture.

So, what would you actually be doing?

You’ll take ownership of a specialist vertical - medical imaging, radiology and AI - and build it into something meaningful.

Leading retained, end-to-end search processes (proper ones - deep briefs, market mapping, longlists, shortlists)
Partnering directly with CEOs, founders and investors on critical hires
Becoming a genuine expert in your niche - not just a recruiter in it
Building your market through insight-led content (think podcasts, articles, conversations… not spam)
Playing a key role in shaping - and eventually leading - a team around you

What kind of person thrives here?

Probably someone who’s started to question the way recruitment is “normally” done.


You’ve got 3+ years in MedTech / medical devices recruitment (imaging or radiology would be ideal)
You’ve billed £250–300k+ and know what it takes to perform
You’re comfortable speaking with senior stakeholders — and adding value when you do
You’ve invested in yourself (reading, learning, improving… not standing still)
And you’re ready to move away from volume-led environments into something more thoughtful, more strategic… more grown up

The numbers:

Base salary: £35–45k (depending on experience)
Commission up to 50%

Why make the move?

Because this is where you build something with substance.

You’ll become the face of a high-growth niche (imaging / AI)
You’ll have access to a network of 50 MedTech CEOs - and growing internationally
You’ll be part of capital-raising conversations, not just hiring mandates
You’ll use content and credibility to win work - not job boards and bulk outreach
And you’ll operate in an environment that values quality over noise

No vanity KPIs.

No fake jobs.

No pointless activity metrics.

Just proper search, done properly.

If this sounds like the kind of shift you’ve been thinking about for a while…

Let’s have a conversation.

No polished CV needed. No pressure. Just a proper chat about what you want next.
