Welcome To Inside MedTech Hiring

Signals from the MedTech hiring frontline—salary shifts, candidate sentiment, and what’s not showing up in job ads.

• If you work in MedTech and you’re responsible for building teams, you already know the market doesn’t always match what’s on paper—or what the job boards are telling you.

  You’re likely:

  • Not seeing the right candidates

  • Getting ghosted partway through a process

  • Or unsure whether your offer is even competitive anymore

• Meanwhile, candidates are often sitting quietly, waiting—uncertain whether to move, whether they’re still relevant, or whether anything better is really out there.

  Why I started this newsletter:

  I’m Richard Duke, and I run DukeMed Pty Ltd—a search-led recruitment firm focused on solving Medtech commercial and leadership “hiring headaches” across Australia (and the APAC region). Each week, I speak with hiring leaders, talented candidates, and HR execs about what’s actually happening on the ground & how to improve.

  

Inside MedTech Hiring exists to share those patterns:

• Salary pressure that’s not visible in published bands

• Shifts in candidate sentiment—what they’re valuing, fearing, or ignoring

• Hiring blind spots that cost companies standout talent

• And the quiet moves happening behind the scenes

What to expect:

• 📌 Short signal-led posts or audio soundbites (1–2x per week tops)

• 📈 Market movement summaries, drawn from live search work or market index surveys & quiz

• 🎯 Practical, honest takeaways—no fluff, no preaching

Free content will land regularly.

Paid insight reports and strategy drops are coming soon—for those who want to stay ahead of the market before it shifts again.

Thanks for being here.
