The thesis

Hospice leadership lives at the intersection of regulation and grief.

Hospice operations sit inside one of the most regulation-heavy categories in healthcare, with Medicare conditions of participation, eligibility audits, and claims oversight that punish small mistakes. The Executive Director and Director of Nursing of a hospice agency carry both the operational load and the clinical-ethical weight of the work. Senior leadership candidates in this category are scarce, well-known, and almost never on a job board.

The recruiter assigned to your search has spent more than a decade placing leadership inside hospice operators. Engaged search is the model — the deposit funds the discreet, credible outreach the search requires.

We work home hospice operators, inpatient hospice and general inpatient (GIP) units, hospice-house operators, hospice arms of larger home-health platforms, and PE-backed hospice consolidators.

FAQ

Hospice,
specifically.

The questions hiring operators send in the first call.

What kinds of hospice roles do you recruit for?
Operational leadership (Hospice CEO, Regional VP of Operations, Executive Director, Administrator), clinical leadership (Director of Nursing, Clinical Manager, Medical Director, VP Clinical Operations), growth and outreach (Director of Business Development, Clinical Liaison, Community Outreach Director), and quality/compliance leadership (QA/PI, Compliance Officer, Survey-Readiness Specialist).
Do you handle Director of Nursing replacements with discretion?
Yes. DON replacements are commonly time-pressured and confidentiality-driven. The recruiter handles them directly, and the deposit funds the targeted outreach to the small qualified pool in your geography.
Are hospice searches typically engaged or contingent?
Most hospice senior leadership searches are engaged. The candidate pool is small, the work is reputation-driven, and the search depends on credible specialist outreach.
Do you work with PE-backed hospice consolidators?
Yes. PE-backed hospice platforms and bolt-on operators are recurring engagements. The recruiter assigned has experience with carve-outs, integrations, and turnaround engagements at the operator level.
Do you place hospice line-level clinicians (RNs, aides, chaplains)?
Generally no for engaged search. Volume clinical hiring is a fit for our staffing-solutions track, which is operationalized for caregivers, RNs, and aides.
Do you cover the entire United States?
Yes. We run nationwide hospice searches; most senior hospice roles are headquarters-based or regional with on-site presence required.
