Pathologist in a laboratory setting

A different kind of search

Many of the best pathologists aren't on job boards. They're busy practicing, and they move only when the right opportunity comes along. I build long-term, confidential relationships with these physicians, learn what they want next, and introduce them to employers when there's a real fit.

How it works

1

Get to know.

I learn each pathologist's training, subspecialties, experience and career goals.

2

Match.

When an opening fits, I share a blinded profile with the employer, with the physician's permission.

3

Introduce.

If both sides are interested, I make the introduction and support the process through hiring.

Market insight

Each year I run the Pathologist Compensation & Workplace Survey. In 2025, 113 pathologists responded, and 63% said they were open to a move.
