Dukemed
DukeMed — Search-Led MedTech Hiring DukeMed works with MedTech leaders on search-led hiring for commercial, clinical, and leadership roles — where the cost of a wrong decision is high. Our work is grounded in search discipline, not CV volume. Rather than starting with applicants, we begin with market context: • who actually exists • what comparable teams look like • where compensation, expectations, or role scope may misalign That insight shapes whether a search proceeds — and how it’s executed if it does. DukeMed sits deliberately between high-volume recruitment and traditional executive search. We apply executive-search judgement selectively, adapting the level of rigour to the seniority, risk, and consequence of each hire. Sometimes that leads to a hire. Sometimes it leads to clarity before a costly mistake. Both are valid outcomes. Founded by Richard Duke, DukeMed has worked in MedTech recruitment since 2001, supporting hiring decisions across sales, marketing, clinical, and leadership functions — particularly in orthopaedics, ophthalmology, devices, and capital equipment. If you’re planning a hire, revisiting a role, or sense-checking why a previous search stalled, we’re always open to a conversation.

Egm Executive Search Interim Board Tcp
We noticed a gap in the market for pure, specialist Executive Search. Search Firms do not recruit middle management, there's much more. It requires relentless specialisation, deep expertise in industries, functional roles and geographies. We had to create something separate from EGM Recruitment that recruited senior management roles and we needed to ensure our Executive Search Recruiters had the best technology, experience and education to understand you fully. EGM Executive is part of the EGM Partners Group that focusses on Executive Search, Interim Management, Board Search and The Catalyst Project. With the Catalyst Project as part of EGM Executive, we’re not only finding the best talent globally but also building and nurturing a cohort of exceptional individuals for Australian organisations. Our Executive Search Recruiters have walked in your shoes. They have done the AICD directors course, they have degrees, they are board members and they have 20 years experience on average in Search. Executive Search is more than simply posting a vacancy on a job board or listing it in a newspaper. The art of "Search" comes from having strong networks, market mapping research and the craft of being able to identify and attract talent. EGM combines this with our love of data and our profiling tool Interpr8 to find the best match for your organisation, your people and role. Our Executive Search & Interim Management team has been responsible for key senior appointments across Australia, London and Europe. Our team are specialists and have years of experience: this means you will always talk to an expert who can grasp your needs quickly, bring new ideas and alternatives to the table and work with you to develop an accurate and compelling candidate brief.
