Your Challenges, Our Solutions
Generic Recruiters Don't Understand Healthcare Complexity
Most professional recruitment firms in Australia lack the sector knowledge to assess whether candidates truly understand regulatory environments, clinical workflows, or the nuances of healthcare commercialisation.
Our Solution: Our healthcare recruiters specialise exclusively in pharmaceutical, medical device, and health technology sectors. We speak your language, from TGA compliance to clinical adoption strategies, and we assess candidates on technical competency, clinical credibility, and cultural fit within healthcare organisations.
Time-Consuming Hiring Processes Drain Resources
Your internal teams can't afford to spend weeks screening candidates who look good on paper but lack the healthcare-specific experience your roles demand.
Our Solution: As a specialised healthcare recruitment agency, we handle the heavy lifting. Our rigorous pre-screening process combines technical evaluation, cultural assessment, and reference validation, meaning you only meet candidates who are genuinely qualified. We reduce your time-to-hire while improving placement quality.
High Turnover Costs More Than Just Recruitment Fees
Poor cultural fit or misaligned expectations lead to expensive turnover, especially in healthcare executive jobs where leadership continuity directly impacts team performance and revenue.
We don't just fill positions: we build partnerships focused on retention. Our health recruitment specialists invest time understanding your organisational culture, growth trajectory, and long-term talent needs. We support post-placement integration and help develop retention strategies that keep top performers engaged.
You Need Healthcare Talent That Drives ROI, Not Just Fills Seats
Every healthcare hire should contribute to organisational goals: stronger clinical relationships, smoother operations, faster market adoption, measurable revenue growth.
Our Solution: PPD Search approaches recruitment strategically. We identify professionals who don't just meet job descriptions; they’ll elevate your commercial outcomes. Our healthcare recruiters assess candidates for their ability to convert technical expertise into market results, ensuring every placement delivers tangible ROI.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you recruit for healthcare executive jobs as well as individual contributor roles?
Yes. We recruit across all levels, from specialised technical and clinical roles to senior leadership and healthcare executive jobs. Our experience spans permanent, permanent part-time, and temp/contract positions throughout Australia.
What is your typical time-to-hire?
Because our healthcare recruitment agency pre-screens candidates rigorously, we significantly reduce your time-to-hire compared to generalist recruiters or internal hiring processes. Timelines vary by role complexity, but our streamlined approach means you meet only qualified candidates, accelerating decision-making.
How do you support retention after placement?
We view every placement as the beginning of a partnership, not the end of a transaction. We stay engaged post-placement to support onboarding success and offer guidance on retention strategies that promote professional growth and job satisfaction within your organisation, especially in the first 90 days. At the 9-month mark, we undertake a survey that measures Employee Connection to enable a deep conversation with you and your new employee on how they are thinking and feeling about their role in the first 9 months to ensure they feel connected, providing maximum output, and to mitigate the risk of attrition in the first 12-18 months.
Do you work with organisations outside major cities?
Yes, we recruit healthcare talent across Australia, including regional and remote locations. Our networks and sourcing strategies extend beyond metropolitan areas.
What sectors within healthcare do you specialise in?
We focus on pharmaceuticals, medical devices, health technology, and broader healthcare services. Whether you need commercial talent, clinical specialists, regulatory experts, or operational leaders, our healthcare recruiters have the expertise to find the right fit.
