Inside MedTech Hiring
Signals from the Australian search frontline.
Most market data is “lagging”—it tells you what happened six months ago. By the time a trend hits a traditional report, the talent has already moved.
I’m Richard Duke. I’ve spent 17 years in executive search across the Australian MedTech sector. Every day, I’m on the phone with CEOs, Sales Directors, and high-performance candidates. I started this publication to share the “leading indicators” I see in those conversations—the real-time shifts in salary, sentiment, and hiring discipline that don’t show up on job boards.
What you’ll find here:
Real-Time Salary Shifts: What people are actually asking for (and getting) right now.
Candidate Sentiment: What top talent is thinking, but not saying to their current boss.
Hiring Blind Spots: Why critical roles stall and how to fix them.
The Ortho Moves Index: My periodic deep-dives into sector-specific movement.
Why subscribe? I keep these briefings short and signal-led. No fluff, just the patterns I’m seeing as a solo practitioner on the frontline of Australian MedTech search.
