Current issues of supply and demand have plagued many industries but are particularly dire in the healthcare sector. Shortages are highly relevant among frontline workers, lab and radiology technologists, and customer support staff. The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a tremendous toll on these essential positions and accelerated physician burnout simultaneously disrupting the business models and ways services are provided. It has become increasingly important for healthcare organizations to attract and hire candidates who share the vision and capability to adapt, deal in ambiguity, and bring value to patient care delivery in these uncertain times. Working with a search firm that understands the current environment and is continuously reinventing itself to meet the rapidly evolving healthcare market will be critical to an organization’s success.

With agility and resilience at its core, Tal Healthcare is leading healthcare recruitment as a one-stop, full-service search firm. Tal Healthcare is a forward-looking, New Yorkbased physician and healthcare search firm leveraging over three decades of experience in healthcare recruitment. Lea Tal, the CEO of Tal Healthcare, leads her team of exceptionally talented and experienced executive recruiters with a passion for helping organizations attract the appropriate talent and build extraordinarily successful teams

Tal Healthcare is engaged, committed, and culturally aligned with its clients to understand the unique requirements of each job matching the individual candidate skills and fit to the organizations culture today and evolving into the future. The firm has adopted a data-driven methodology based on the latest research in leadership and high potential development, using the consultancy of an organizational psychologist to identify the clients’ specific leadership needs and match those with candidates’ leadership attributes.

While building the teams for its clients, Tal Healthcare uses organizational psychology methodology and strategies to align with the client while retaining the human touch in the process.

Tal Healthcare brings three divisions of recruitment: Physician and Physician Leadership, Allied (Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants), and Executive/ Business Operations (c-suite, executive, operations, finance, and revenue). Tal Healthcare combines traditional approaches with innovative strategies to identify and attract passive candidates. We utilize social media, targeted email marketing, original content creation, participate in professional associations and groups within the larger healthcare community, activate our extensive network, and seek referrals to source and engage candidates with the right skills and cultural alignment Tal is committed to diversity recruitment and equal opportunity.

Our commitment is not only to understand the full package of what the organization is, but also how the candidate will be a good fit


What differentiates Tal Healthcare is its passion for helping organizations that give back to the communities by offering them exceptional and personalized healthcare recruitment services. We build and nurture deeper relationships with clients and have placed many senior-level executives, clinical and non-clinical, in organizations that provide services to the underserved. Tal Healthcare works closely with hospitals and academic systems, and the firm’s services have expanded to not-for-profit organizations. “It is really a joy to be able to work with organizations that provide services to underserved communities—from people with disabilities to foster care,” mentions Lea Tal. The company takes pride in filling critical pediatric and geriatric clinician positions to support clients in their mission of helping the youngest and oldest patients in our communities.

Despite all the uncertainty surrounding COVID, Tal has experienced the demand for its services triple in the last year. “The driving force in my 25 years in the healthcare recruitment sector has been for our partners to know how much we really care about them and are committed to helping them build successful teams in their organizations. We want to help them make the difference and this commitment is the prime directive for our staff,” Lea concludes.
