Your customers are surgeons, theatre managers and clinical teams. They trust people who've done the job. A clinical specialist with a nursing background walks into a theatre or ward already speaking the language, and that's hard to train into someone from a pure sales background.
The problem most companies run into
Clinical specialist, clinical applications specialist and clinical support roles are usually advertised under Sales. Nurses rarely search there. You end up with a pile of sales CVs and very few clinicians, or you rely on referrals from your own team and wait.
I go straight to the nurses. I know which ones have the product knowledge, the presence in theatre and the drive to move into industry, and I know how to sell your role to someone who has never worked outside a hospital. You can read more about what a clinical specialist role involves.
Roles I recruit
- Clinical specialists and clinical applications specialists
- Clinical support and clinical services specialists
- Product and clinical education roles
- Clinical associates in device, wound care, sterilisation, continence, imaging and consumables
How it works
One brief call, a shortlist within 21 days, usually around two weeks, and a written update every Friday. Most roles are placed within two to four weeks.
My fee is 15 per cent of first year base salary plus super, plus GST, payable within seven days of the person starting. Senior and executive appointments are 18 per cent. Every placement comes with a six month guarantee: if they leave in that time, I run the search again from scratch at no charge.
If you're already advertising, keep your ad running. I'll screen those applicants for you at no cost.

Why hire a nurse as a clinical specialist?
Your customers are surgeons, theatre managers and clinical teams. A clinical specialist with a nursing background already speaks their language and can hold their own in a clinical conversation, which is hard to train into someone from a pure sales background.
What happens if the clinical specialist leaves?
Every placement has a six month guarantee. If the person leaves within six months, I run the search again from scratch at no charge.
