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.
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. By then the cost isn't the fee. It's the year you won't get back.
So a FloodGate search starts upstream of the job description. The first question isn't what position you need filled. It's what you're trying to accomplish, and what this hire needs to make possible. The seat isn't the objective. The business outcome is.
So we start upstream
The first question is not
“What position do you need filled?”
It is
“What are you trying to accomplish, and what does this hire need to make possible?”
One partner, whatever the seat.
Territory reps to the C-suite. The format follows the problem, not the other way round.
Permanent placement
For long-term roles, we act as an extension of your team: we understand the need, the culture and the growth plan before the search starts, then identify and engage active and passive candidates who meet the requirements and fit the direction. Rigorous screening, behavioral assessments and customized scorecards mean you only see best-fit professionals who contribute immediately and stay.
- Contingency and retained
- Territory and field roles
- Corporate and commercial roles
- Behavioral assessment and scorecards
Executive search
Confidential, retained search for VP and C-level leaders, run by our most senior Talent Directors. When the opening is sensitive the search runs quietly and the shortlist is small, targeted and ready to interview. We benchmark compensation, map the market and bring board-ready candidates who have already done the job you're hiring for.
- Board-ready shortlists
- Confidential outreach
- Compensation benchmarking
- Run by senior Talent Directors
Describe the seat and the outcome. We'll tell you how we would run it.
Permanent placement or executive search is a decision we make with you, after we understand what the hire needs to make possible.

- 01
Define
A Talent Director who knows your specialty scopes the role, what it has to deliver and the profile that actually wins in your market.

- 03
Present
Three to five qualified, interested candidates with our written assessment. Interviews are coordinated for you.
- 04
Close & onboard
Offer strategy, counter-offer prep and a 90-day check-in so great hires become long-term ones.

Growth-stage DME company · Compliance and data privacy
Bringing privacy and compliance in-house for the first time
A durable medical equipment company had always outsourced privacy and compliance. Moving it in-house meant hiring a function that had never existed inside the business, in one metro area, from a pool that mostly maintains compliance programs rather than builds them.
