Our Work is Grounded in Executive Search
In the ever-changing industries that encompass health and tech, attracting the best leaders is no small task. Competition is fierce, the best candidates are not easy to find, and a typical executive search firm will not have the industry expertise to get you the best result.

Our Executive Search team uses a research-driven and team-based approach to adjust to the changing needs of the market and consistently delivers the candidates who will embody your company’s mission and share your passion for improving the health of patients.
Over the past 25 years, we have cultivated strong and broad networks in two key verticals—Health and Technology. When you partner with us, our network becomes your network to find and secure the best candidate for your leadership team.

We are the firm you hire when you need a partner.
We work with companies of every size to find great candidates across all organizational disciplines—including specialized roles—from startup through rapid growth.
As observers of the recent shift in the hiring processes, talent expectations, and company must-haves, we have adjusted our business plan to account for these changes.
The goal of our Executive Search services remains unchanged: to deliver the highest quality candidates for our clients with unparalleled industry knowledge.
Invest in finding the best people, and they will invest in your mission.
What is Executive Search?
At Bowdoin, we believe that Executive Search services encompass much more than just recruitment. The Bowdoin process is a holistic one. We have industry knowledge that guides our research in the ever-changing employment environment of our key industry areas.
