how do you hire a sales rep for a healthcare company with a recruitment agency?

Muzzo recruits healthcare sales reps: medical reps, hospital key account managers, medical device and healthtech sales reps. Each role goes to the headhunters with the most hires selling this product or service. They check the professional and hospital accounts held. Fee of 5 to 30%, paid on hire. Leaves within 3 months: we restart the search free.

how it works

you only pay if you hire

  1. 01

    you describe the role

    Using the form above: the role, your company, your healthcare product. The rest is scoped in your first conversation with the Muzzo team.

  2. 02

one last question?

You set the fee for each role, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it on hire. A junior medical rep and a hospital key account manager who has to win a tender don't call for the same search effort.

You get a double guarantee. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, we restart the search at no cost. If no replacement is found within 4 months, we refund 50% of the fees. On average, 94% of Muzzo hires are still in post after 3 months.

the reality

a healthcare sales rep convinces a buyer who isn't buying for themselves

01

a medical rep doesn't sell a product like any other

Convincing a doctor or a hospital pharmacy calls for mastering medicine-promotion rules a generalist sales rep doesn't know. The headhunter checks for this grounding before the interview.

02

a hospital key account manager negotiates with a buying group, not a lone buyer

Selling a medical device or a service to a hospital often means a tender and several stakeholders, from the hospital pharmacist to the buying department. The headhunter looks at the contracts already signed, not just the CV.

03

digital health hires under the same constraints as traditional healthcare

A healthtech sales rep has to convince a healthcare professional or an institution, under the same promotion rules as a medicine or a device. The headhunter doesn't mistake this profile for a generalist SaaS sales rep.

the roles

the sales profiles our headhunters go after for a healthcare company

From the doctor's surgery to the hospital, each role goes to a headhunter who knows sales in healthcare.

  • medical rep and hospital rep

    They inform doctors and pharmacists about a medicine, in the community or in hospital, within the sector's promotion rules.

  • hospital key account manager

    They negotiate with a hospital buying group or a purchasing consortium, often through a tender.

  • medical device sales rep

    They sell equipment or medical consumables to healthcare institutions or self-employed professionals.

  • healthtech sales and inside sales

    They sell digital health products and services to healthcare professionals or individuals, often by phone or video call. Qare hired its inside sales rep with Muzzo.

  • head of healthcare sales

    They lead a team of reps or field sales staff across a territory or a product range.

the method

a headhunter who already sells healthcare products and services

Convincing a doctor and negotiating with a hospital buying group aren't the same job: the method starts from the stakeholder targeted.

  1. the brief starts from the stakeholder and the type of product

    Doctor, pharmacist, hospital buying group or self-employed professional: the stakeholder and the type of healthcare product matter more than the job title.

  2. a headhunter who specialises in healthcare sales

    Among more than 2,500 selected headhunters, your role goes to those with the most hires selling this type of healthcare product or service.

  3. professional accounts checked, not promises

    The headhunter looks at the doctor, pharmacy or hospital accounts actually held, not just the career shown on a CV.

hiring a sales rep for a healthcare company

why use a sales recruitment agency for healthcare?

A successful medical rep or hospital key account manager isn't job hunting: they already hold doctor, pharmacy or hospital accounts that a competitor would love to take.

A sales recruitment agency for healthcare knows these profiles and knows what genuinely held professional accounts are worth, in a sector where product promotion is tightly regulated.

medical rep, hospital key account manager, healthtech sales rep: which profile should you hire?

read on

The medical rep informs doctors and pharmacists about a medicine, in the community as well as in hospital, within the sector's promotion rules. The hospital key account manager negotiates with a buying group or a consortium, often through a tender.

The healthtech sales rep sells digital health products and services to healthcare professionals or directly to individuals, a different sales channel from the first two profiles.
