Max Mello
Director of Physician & APP Recruitment
Healthcare Recruiting
Healthcare workers helping healthcare workers find the right role.
Our healthcare desk is run by people who have done the work: practicing physician assistants alongside a recruiter with a PhD in biomedical science and a deep physician network. We place physicians, PAs, and NPs, and we understand what actually drives a physician move, call coverage, RVUs and productivity, partnership track, and total compensation, not just the job description.
For clinicians
Recruiters who have worked your side of the table
Our healthcare desk runs on a simple philosophy: healthcare workers helping healthcare workers advance their careers. Practicing physician assistants and a recruiter with a doctorate in biomedical science collaborate closely with surgical facilities, clinics, and hospitals, leveraging firsthand clinical experience to guide candidates into placements that actually last.
- Physician (MD/DO), PA, and NP placement across specialties: orthopedics, cardiology, emergency medicine, primary care, surgical subspecialties, and post-acute care
- Physician-level fluency on the economics: RVUs and productivity, partnership track, call pay, and total compensation, not just base salary
- Honest guidance on comp, call, and culture from people who've lived it
- Licensing, credentialing, and relocation logistics handled alongside the search
- Direct relationships with clinics, surgical facilities, and hospitals
- A dedicated healthcare team, practicing PAs plus a recruiter with a doctorate in biomedical science and a deep physician network
- Fully confidential; the facility pays our fee, not you
For Facilities
Hiring? Every candidate is screened by a clinician before you see them.
Tell us about the opening and we'll give you an honest read on the market for it: who's movable, what they expect on compensation, and a realistic timeline, before you commit to anything. You don't need a prior relationship with us to start.
Every candidate is vetted by a clinician before you see them. The desk is staffed by practicing physician assistants and a recruiter with a doctorate in biomedical science and a deep physician network, so specialty fit, call expectations, and scope of practice are checked before a CV ever reaches you.
We work on contingency: no cost to you unless you hire our candidate. Fee structure and guarantee terms are agreed in writing up front, before any candidate details change hands.
Already heard from one of our recruiters about a candidate? You can verify their background on our team page and reply to them directly.

What placed clinicians say
Max understood the clinical side of the search in a way no recruiter I had spoken to before ever had. He knew what the call schedule would actually look like, asked the right questions about scope before bringing me any opportunities, and was direct about which positions were not worth my time. I had an offer I was genuinely excited about in five weeks.
