Talent Partner of Record · Now starting in Q4 2026
Leadership hiring, owned for the year.
One partner. One agreement. One flat monthly fee. For healthcare technology companies with six or more leadership and hard-to-fill seats to hire in the next twelve months, and no one whose only job is those hires.
Four things, under one agreement.
A retained search fills one seat. This covers the year: the plan, the searches, the bench between searches, and the seats that reopen.
A Seat Map, kept current
Every leadership and hard-to-fill seat for your next four quarters on one page: what each has to produce in year one, in what order, and which work goes to people and which to agents. Refreshed each quarter for your board.
Every search, led by one partner
The leader first, then the seats under that leader. Scoped with you, sourced from people who aren't looking, and carried through offer, resignation, and start.
A standing bench for each critical seat
Between searches, a current list of who could step into each critical seat, built from public sources and kept warm by phone. When someone resigns, the search starts with names.
Backfills, covered
If a seat under the agreement opens again during the year, it is searched again. No new fee conversation.
One search at a time, or one partner for the year.
Both work. The difference is what carries over from one search to the next.
| One search at a time | Talent Partner of Record | |
|---|---|---|
| The plan | Seats open one requisition at a time | Four quarters of seats on one page, refreshed quarterly |
| Day one of a search | Starts from zero | Starts from a standing bench |
| Who runs it | A different recruiter for each seat | One partner on every seat |
| The cost | A percentage of pay, every time | One flat monthly fee, known in advance |
| After the hire | The market map is set aside | The map stays, and stays current |
Scoped once. Kept current.
One partner on every seat, leading every candidate conversation.
Week one: the Seat Map
A working session with the CEO or COO. Every seat for the next four quarters, what it has to produce in year one, and the order to hire in. Free, and before any agreement.
First 30 days: the first search
The first leadership search goes live, and the bench is started for the first critical seats. A one-page status arrives every week.
Every quarter: the refresh
The Seat Map is updated for what changed: a new round, a new product, a departure. When a seat opens, the search starts that week, from the bench.
Three signs it fits.
Not every company needs a partner for the year. These three together say this one does.
Six or more hard seats this year
Leadership and hard-to-fill hires, counted across the next twelve months. With fewer than that, a single Retained Search is the better buy.
The first year after a change
A funding round, a deal or carve-out, a new CEO, or an AI rollout, at a company of up to about 500 people.
No one whose only job is these hires
Internal recruiting carries the volume, and the leadership seats land on the CEO or COO.
One agreement. One flat fee.
One annual agreement, billed monthly. The fee is set after your Seat Map. No percentage per hire.
AI does the research. The partner you hire leads every candidate conversation and makes every recommendation. Software never screens, scores, or rejects a candidate. Candidates never pay.

Straight answers.
- What is a Talent Partner of Record?
- One annual agreement under which JG Search Group owns leadership and hard-to-fill hiring for a healthcare technology company: a quarterly Seat Map, the searches, a standing bench for each critical seat, and backfills.
- Who is it for?
- Healthcare software, revenue cycle, health IT services, and payer technology companies with six or more leadership and hard-to-fill seats to hire in the next twelve months, usually in the first year after a funding round, a deal, a new CEO, or an AI rollout.
- How is it different from a retained search?
- A retained search fills one seat and ends. This agreement runs for the year: the seats are planned on one page, searched by one partner, and backed by a bench that stays current between searches.
- What is the standing bench?
- A current list of who could step into each critical seat, built from public sources and kept warm by phone. When someone resigns, the search starts with names.
- How is it priced?
- One flat monthly fee for the year, set after the Seat Map. No percentage per hire.
- How is AI used?
- AI does research and drafting from public sources. A person makes every call and every candidate decision. Software never screens, scores, or rejects a candidate.
- Do candidates pay anything?
- No. Clients pay. Candidates never do.
- How many accounts do you take?
- Three at a time, by design.
- How do we start?
- Book 15 minutes and ask for a Seat Map, or email Jeremy.
A single search runs on its own.
One leadership seat is a Retained Search. One repeat seat is a Program Search. An AI deployment team under one leader is the AI Deployment Bench.
Six hard seats this year, and no one who owns them?
