Search is the core. The outcome is the point.
FloodGate helps MedTech companies build the teams that build their businesses. Search is our core business and always will be. Strategic Talent Advisory grew out of it, because the problem a client brings us is usually bigger than the open position.
One position, two kinds of work.
Search
Find the right person.
Our core business, for 25+ years: finding, assessing and attracting exceptional MedTech people, especially the passive candidates who are hard to reach and harder to persuade.
- Permanent placement
- Executive search
Strategic Talent Advisory
Build the talent system behind the business.
For leadership teams: how well you attract, select, develop and retain talent, whether the right people are in the right seats, and what to fix first.
- Talent Audit
- Talent Advantage
- Workforce planning
- Market and compensation intelligence
- Org design
- Succession
Tell us the problem. We'll tell you which of the two it is, or whether it's neither.
Search or advisory is a decision we make with you, after we understand what you're trying to accomplish.
What are you trying to accomplish?
A wrong hire in MedTech doesn't show up on day one. It shows up eighteen months later as a stalled region, a slipped launch or a team that isn't performing.
So the first question isn't what position you need filled. It's what you're trying to accomplish, and what your talent strategy needs to make possible. From there we work out together whether it's a search, a broader talent issue, or something where we aren't the right partner.
The seat isn't the objective. The business outcome is.
An expansion, not a pivot.
We started as a recruiting company. Over thousands of searches and conversations with executives, hiring managers, candidates and HR leaders, we kept seeing that the problem clients were trying to solve was usually bigger than an open position.
That's what expanded our work from search, to executive connections, to talent advisory. It wasn't a pivot away from search. It was an expansion based on what clients actually need from a great talent partner.
We don't fill seats. We build the team behind the business.
Specializing exclusively in MedTech gives us a rare view of the talent market: where to find exceptional people, how to attract them, and what it takes to win them for our clients. Every important MedTech objective, whether it's a product launch, a commercial expansion, a financing round, or an exit, depends on having the right people in the right roles at the right time. We start with what your business needs to achieve, then help you build the team to deliver it.

The longer a critical role stays vacant, the greater the hidden cost to the organization.
