Get Qualified Executives Faster And Reduce Downtime

When an executive leaves your organization, their responsibilities don’t go with them. The longer the role is vacant, the longer your organization is at risk for critical oversights. Every minute counts.

To minimize downstream impacts, Kirby Bates’ healthcare executive recruiters provide your organization with a tailored slate of skilled candidates in 30 days or less.

Access Better Talent

Recruitment starts with candidates. However, traditional healthcare executive search strategies only identify talent actively on the job market. This leaves your organization with a small pool of candidates who often don’t fit your needs. With unprecedented turmoil in traditional healthcare delivery systems and emerging opportunities for private equity investments, your organization can’t afford to settle for anything but the perfect fit. 

Our executive recruiters find the hidden gems that others miss. We tap our nationwide networks of healthcare executives already succeeding in their current roles — passive candidates — and bring them into your organization.

Experience Support Beyond Recruitment

The reimbursement and regulatory environment of healthcare delivery is unparalleled in any industry. An executive search for a healthcare organization requires a level of expertise beyond what many executive recruiters can offer.  Kirby Bates is the healthcare recruitment specialist who understands that you don’t just need an executive; you need a leader with a proven track record of success in the healthcare industry’s unique reimbursement and regulatory environment. 

Plus, our work doesn’t stop when you hire a candidate. We provide a year of ongoing support to help executive leaders assimilate into your organization and get up to full speed. 

Proven Results. Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Kirby Bates Associates is proud to offer clients a proven method for executing an executive search that is collaborative, comprehensive, inclusive, and transparent. We stand behind our work and guarantee the candidates we place. If the selected individual leaves or is terminated within the agreed timeframe, we will conduct a replacement search.
