SKILLS
ABOUT RICHARD MITCHELL
For over 20 years, I’ve partnered with MedTech businesses to solve one of their most expensive challenges: hiring the right people, at the right time.The reality is simple — the right hire accelerates growth, protects revenue, and strengthens teams. The wrong hire costs time, momentum, and significant money. My role is to minimise that risk and maximise the return on every hire you make.I work with MedTech organisations across:• Sales & Commercial• Marketing• Clinical Training & Applications• Engineering & Product Design• Regulatory Affairs & Quality Assurance• Medical Affairs & Senior & Executive appointmentsI’ve seen first-hand how a high-performing hire can transform a function — increasing market share, improving operational efficiency, and unlocking stalled growth. I’ve also seen the cost of mis-hires: delayed launches, underperforming territories, lost revenue, and burned-out teams.For Hiring ManagersWhen hiring isn’t working, the impact is immediate:• Revenue targets slip because key roles remain unfilled• Teams are stretched thin, increasing attrition and burnout• Time and budget are wasted on recruitment processes that don’t deliverThis is where I add value. I act as a strategic hiring partner — not just a recruiter — taking ownership of the process and delivering talent that performs.How I Deliver ROIMy approach is commercially focused and outcome driven:• I take time to understand your business goals, not just the job spec• I identify candidates who will add measurable value, not just fill a seat• I leverage a deep MedTech network to reduce time-to-hire• I manage the process end to end, so you stay focused on running your business• I’m direct, transparent, and accountable for resultsThe outcome: better hires, faster impact, and a stronger return on your recruitment investment. If you’re scaling a MedTech team, launching new products, or want to reduce the cost and risk of hiring, let’s have a conversation
