Job summary

Tanner Ryan, LLC seeks an experienced recruiter to place senior sales leaders in imaging, radiology, and medical device sectors. You will own the full-cycle process from intake to placement, aligning clinical reality with commercial needs for each search.

In a small, principal-led practice, you will source, screen, and present candidates with proven device market success, maintaining strong client relationships and driving repeat business.

Qualifications

• Track record filling sales, sales-management, or healthcare roles to a defined slate and acceptance standard.
• Working knowledge of medical device sales, diagnostic imaging, radiology, or imaging informatics.
• Ability to run a full search cycle: intake, sourcing, screening, client debrief, offer support, and post-placement follow-up.
• Clear writing and disciplined notes for client decision-making without translation.
• Comfort in a small firm where you build process as you bill it.

Responsibilities

• Deliver a qualified slate within the agreed search window for direct-hire roles in medical device sales, sales management, channel leadership, radiology, and imaging informatics.
• Convert client intake into a written success profile that names the outcomes the hire must produce in the first year, not a generic skills list.
• Source and screen candidates who have sold or led in diagnostic imaging or adjacent device markets, and present only those who clear both clinical fluency and commercial proof.
• Move each active search from first conversation to accepted offer, with documented submittal-to-interview and offer-acceptance rates you own and improve.
• Keep a living pipeline of passive sales and imaging leaders so new searches start with names, not a blank search.
• Protect the client relationship after placement: check fit at 30 and 90 days and turn successful fills into the next retained or direct-hire search.

Job description

Recruiter Imaging and medical device companies do not miss quota because the market is quiet. They miss it because the wrong sales leader is in the seat. This role exists to close that gap: match clinical reality with commercial need, and put proven people into roles where they can sell, lead, and stay. Every search you run changes a client's revenue line and a candidate's career.

Performance Objectives

Deliver a qualified slate within the agreed search window for direct-hire roles in medical device sales, sales management, channel leadership, radiology, and imaging informatics.

Convert client intake into a written success profile that names the outcomes the hire must produce in the first year, not a generic skills list.

Source and screen candidates who have sold or led in diagnostic imaging or adjacent device markets, and present only those who clear both clinical fluency and commercial proof.

Move each active search from first conversation to accepted offer, with documented submittal-to-interview and offer-acceptance rates you own and improve.

Keep a living pipeline of passive sales and imaging leaders so new searches start with names, not a blank search.

Protect the client relationship after placement: check fit at 30 and 90 days and turn successful fills into the next retained or direct-hire search.

Environment & Resources

You join a small, principal-led search practice focused on healthcare imaging and medical devices. You report to the principal, sit in on client strategy, and run your desk with direct access to decision-makers rather than layers of account management.

Tools are a modern ATS/CRM and professional sourcing platforms; budget is lean and aimed at relationships, research, and candidate outreach, not a large corporate stack.

Expect high ownership, fast feedback, and searches that span manufacturers and imaging organizations of every size.

Essential Qualifications

• A track record of filling sales, sales-management, or healthcare roles to a defined slate and acceptance standard, not activity metrics alone.
• Working knowledge of medical device sales, diagnostic imaging, radiology, or imaging informatics sufficient to test a candidate's real experience.
• Ability to run a full search cycle: intake, sourcing, screening, client debrief, offer support, and post-placement follow-up.
• Clear writing and disciplined notes that a client can use to decide, without a second translation.
• Comfort in a 1-10 person firm where you build process as you bill it.

Role Selling Points

A defined niche - imaging, radiology, and device commercial leadership - so your market knowledge compounds instead of resetting every search.

Work shaped by people who have sold devices and understand the clinical buyer, not generic staffing scripts.

Direct line to the principal and to clients; your judgment shows up in who gets hired.

Relationship-led direct hire and executive search, with repeat business tied to match quality.

Room to shape how a young practice sources, measures, and presents talent.
