Clinical talent,
placed quietly.
Heard of. Rarely seen.

Goldscott is a small, opinionated retained-search firm for healthcare and behavioral health. We work off-market, vet for clinical and operational fit, and only send résumés we'd hire ourselves — usually before the seat is public. 28-day average time-to-signed across 240+ placements at health systems, multi-state provider groups, and digital-health operators.

No retainer until kickoff · NDA-friendly

§ 01 · How it works

Three weeks,
three steps.

Most searches close inside a month because we don't run a funnel — we run a list. By day three you have a shortlist of five names you'd actually meet for coffee. No cold outreach, no posted JDs, no noise.

01 · Recon

Brief & map the field

A 90-minute intake. We translate the role into a named target list of 30–60 operators, sourced from our network and 28 years of placements — most of whom aren't looking.

TimeDay 0 – Day 3
02 · Approach

Approach, one by one

Quiet outreach from a partner, never a bulk note. Each candidate is back-channel reference-checked against three peers before you ever see their name on paper.

TimeDay 3 – Day 14
03 · Close

Land the hire

You meet 3–5 finalists. We run comp benchmarks, manage counter-offers, and stay close through start date and the first 90 days. No drama, no leaks.

"Goldscott found our Chief Clinical Officer in eleven days. They sent four names; three were leaders I already wanted to meet, and the fourth — who we hired — was someone no posting could've reached. We never saw the search; we just saw the shortlist."
