We are proud to be celebrating 36 years as one of the nation’s premier retained healthcare and technology executive search firms. Over the last three decades, we have been connecting transformative leaders with innovative organizations.
Our “Hire for Impact” approach continues to identify leaders who will create meaningful organizational change, minimize risk, and achieve operational excellence. Our expertise spans leadership roles in AI, analytics, technology, and cybersecurity, specializing in executive placements, including CIOs, CTOs, CDIOs, CMIOs, CHIOs, and CISOs.
In 2024, Modern Healthcare recognized Kirby Partners as one of the country’s largest executive search firms. Kirby Partners has also appeared multiple times on Forbes’ “America’s Best Executive Search Firms” list.
We remain passionate about serving as trusted advisors to candidates, helping them identify opportunities to enhance their careers and thrive professionally. We offer career coaching that includes tailored strategies and guidance on resumes and interview preparation to help talented executives find positions where they can leverage their skills and create meaningful impact.
In looking ahead, we will further leverage our extensive network of healthcare and technology executives to find leaders who can accelerate organizational missions. In the past five years, we have completed over 100 senior leadership searches, maintaining a 97% candidate offer acceptance rate and eight-year average tenure for placed executives. With a 99% fill rate for C-suite positions and the ability to present top-tier candidates within an average of 35 business days, Kirby Partners continues to set the standard for executive recruitment in healthcare technology and cybersecurity.
Industry-leading healthcare and technology recruiting expertise
“One of the costliest expenses healthcare organizations incur is hiring the wrong people,” said Judy Kirby, CEO of Kirby Partners. “Over the last 36 years, we’ve created a seamless process for finding exceptional candidates who deliver results and thrive. Because we focus exclusively on healthcare technology and cybersecurity, we know the market and can provide strategic insights about the candidate pool, which helps our clients achieve more impactful hires.”
Achieving continuity during transitions in healthcare and technology executive search
In addition to executive search, Kirby Partners provides interim executive placement for organizations facing critical leadership gaps. “When unexpected vacancies occur, we deploy senior-level interim executives ensuring organizations maintain momentum during transitions,” said Bryan Kirby, Vice President. “This interim leadership solution often runs parallel to conducting a comprehensive search for their next leader, ensuring continuity and strategic progress.”
From the entire Kirby Partners team, we thank you for your continued support and partnership.
We look forward to continuing to serve you in the years to come as your trusted healthcare and information technology executive search firm.
