About Sam Avila
A Healthcare Talent Acquisition Strategist who transforms recruitment challenges into competitive advantages for high-growth organizations. Proven track record scaling teams from startup stealth mode through Series B funding rounds, including leading Harbor Health\'s evolution into Austin\'s 3rd largest primary care provider. Specializes in building recruitment infrastructure that adapts to rapid organizational change while maintaining quality standards—evidenced by achieving historic retention rates and reducing time-to-fill in high-turnover healthcare environments. Deep expertise spans clinical and technical recruiting across AI/ML, healthcare operations, and executive leadership roles. Known for initiating difficult compensation conversations that yield positive outcomes and implementing creative, budget-conscious sourcing strategies that eliminate dependency on costly agency placements. Whether launching 11 clinic locations in four months, negotiating retention contracts for 30+ providers annually, or building scalable processes for 400+ hires, I consistently deliver recruitment solutions that directly impact revenue growth and operational success. Trusted by founders and executives as both a strategic advisor and hands-on execution partner who understands the intersection of talent acquisition and business transformation.
