Start a Dietitian Recruitment and Executive Search Firm

1. 1

   Pick your search focus

   Decide whether you place staff clinical dietitians, specialized roles in acute care and research, or leadership and director positions. Retained search suits senior roles; contingency suits volume. A clear focus builds your reputation and network faster.

2. 2

   Build the dietetics talent network

   Your value is knowing the dietitian talent market, including passive candidates and specialty skills generalist recruiters miss. Cultivate relationships across the profession over time. A deep network is the whole asset of a search firm.

3. 3

   Land institutional clients

   Hospitals, health systems, research institutions, and food companies hire dietitians and pay to fill hard roles. Sell your specialty knowledge and speed to hiring managers. A few repeat institutional clients can sustain the firm.

4. 4

   Structure fees clearly

   Contingency fees are paid on successful hire; retained fees are paid in stages for senior searches. Set percentages and guarantees that reflect role difficulty. Clean fee terms protect the firm and the relationship.

5. 5

   Deliver quality placements

   Reputation in search rides on placements that stay and succeed, so screen for fit and credentials carefully. A bad placement costs you the client; a great one brings referrals. Quality over volume compounds in this business.
