The openingWhy this idea is overlooked
Hospitals struggle to hire permanent surgical technologists and, especially, sterile processing leaders like SPD managers and directors, and they pay real placement fees to fill those roles, but few recruiters specialize here. Unlike contract staffing, permanent placement needs little working capital because you earn a fee when a hire sticks. It is a distinct model from the contract and travel staffing firms in the bank, defined by direct-hire fees rather than bill-rate markup.
