PERSONNEL CONSULTING
Healthcare
Doctors and highly qualified hospital managers are indispensable for the quality of value-oriented healthcare.
They face the challenge of ensuring the right balance between patient well-being, a high degree of digitalization and optimum equipment.
Innovative technologies and an increasing number of AI-supported solutions (smart hospital) ensure that the interests of sustainable and dynamic care are met in everyday hospital life. If the wellbeing of patients is the ethical benchmark in all of this, then the right staffing and appreciation are among the key factors in effectively countering the shortage of specialists.
HAGER recruits personalities who are able to innovate and leverage potential in challenging times in order to initiate a cycle of success or transformation. In the healthcare sector in particular, the focus is on a holistic management style and a humanitarian mission. In addition, experience, impressive knowledge and excellent business thinking characterize the best minds. Both the ability to innovate and to adapt to new conditions are crucial here.
We understand the mindset of the entire healthcare industry and have a long-standing, vibrant network in hospitals, medical care centers and related areas such as occupational medicine, health authorities and health insurance companies. As an additional robust and transparent partner, HAGER uses crucial market and industry knowledge to fill management vacancies and strategic positions.
Increasing complexity
Increasingly complex care structures require people with attitude, an overview and the ability to make decisions. Doctors, nursing service managers and experts from administration and technology are shaping the future together. Driven by the idea of further developing health as a social good.
Strategic foresight and ethical behaviour are not contradictory. On the contrary. Managers with backbone, responsibility and genuine empathy are needed, especially where economic pressure is being felt. People who can make viable decisions even under uncertainty and lead teams safely through change.
HAGER thinks along with this triad. Technology, responsibility, humanity. We talk to decision-makers at eye level, listen, understand the challenges and find exactly the right personalities who fit not only professionally but also culturally. This is the only way to create strong teams, resilient processes and sustainable progress.
Our daily work is based on a clear attitude. Quality starts with people. And never ends.
Digital platforms, networked diagnostics and intelligent systems create new opportunities, but also new requirements. Anyone managing a clinic today must recognise technical opportunities, understand legal requirements and at the same time ensure human proximity. People remain at the centre. Always.
Leadership through the restructuring of the hospital landscape
Germany’s hospital reform is reshaping service groups, sites and partnerships. Hospital operators have to merge structures and reallocate services while retaining their staff. It is precisely in this phase that top positions become vacant and are often bridged on an interim basis at first.
We support hospital operators, medical care centres (MVZ) and healthcare companies in turning a transitional arrangement into a sustainable permanent appointment. Together with our strategic partner EIM Executive Interim Management, we cover both phases from a single source. Experienced interim managers take over the first months while we conduct a targeted search for the permanent management.
Healthcare Recruitment
The Frankfurt location, one of the most important healthcare centres in Germany, demonstrates the importance of reliable leadership and future-oriented thinking. Top medical performance, international standards and a dynamic environment come together here.
Hospitals, research institutions and companies in the healthcare sector need personalities who both understand the region and think outside the box. HAGER is deeply rooted in Frankfurt and has been successfully supporting hospitals and institutions for years in filling key positions with people who shape change and ensure quality.
Frequently asked questions about executive search in healthcare
Which positions does HAGER fill in healthcare?
We fill managing director and board positions at hospital operators, chief physicians, directors of nursing as well as commercial and medical heads. This also includes executives in IT, quality and project management, as well as specialist and management positions at health insurers, public health authorities and medical care centres.
How quickly will we see the first candidate profiles?
As a rule, we present the first profiles after around three weeks. The longlist comprises 10 to 15 candidates, from which we develop the shortlist together with you.
Can an interim solution be combined with a permanent appointment?
Yes. Through our partner EIM Executive Interim Management, experienced interim executives bridge the vacancy while we search for the permanent appointment in parallel. The hospital remains fully operational, and the decision on the new management does not have to be rushed.
Why choose a specialised healthcare executive search firm?
Leadership in healthcare has to reconcile patient welfare, economic efficiency and digitalisation, which is not always a smooth fit. Our healthcare consultants know these conflicting goals. For interface roles, for example in digital health or medical IT, they work together with our Digital & Technology practice group. Beyond professional suitability, our H-Factor also assesses personality, attitude and cultural fit.
