Case Study: Rapid Medical Director Placement

The Challenge

A well-known cancer center needed to urgently replace their outgoing Medical Director—with only 90 days’ notice. Without a quick replacement, they risked disruption to patient care, clinical trials, and referral relationships. Location was also a challenge: rural Northern California, competing with major city hospitals for top talent.

Our Solution

We quickly aligned with the CEO and senior team to understand the role and key leadership traits. Then, we activated our national oncology talent network—targeting medical directors and oncology leaders open to relocation.

Within 4 weeks, we presented 3 top-tier candidates—all fully screened for leadership, clinical expertise, and academic research experience.

The Result

The center hired a leader with 15+ years in oncology and a proven track record in trial growth and team leadership.
– Hired in just 45 days
– No disruption to care or clinical research
– Referring doctors stayed engaged
– Infusion services expanded smoothly

The client avoided a long vacancy and protected millions in revenue—thanks to a fast, focused search.

Silent Failures in Oncology Hiring: What No One Talks About (But We See Every Day)

In oncology, the most damaging leadership failures often don’t make headlines. They happen quietly—behind closed doors—when the wrong executive slows momentum, stalls trials, or quietly erodes team trust. On paper, the hire looked perfect. But beneath the surface, something didn’t fit.
