Job Description

Blue Ocean Hire is a boutique executive search firm focused exclusively on healthcare and pharmacy. As a Sanford Rose Associates affiliate, ranked among the 10 largest executive search firms in the country, and a firm recognized on the Hunt Scanlon Top 40 Global Search Firm list, we pair national reach with boutique accountability. We're growing, and we're looking for a consultative, entrepreneurial Account Executive (Recruiter) to help expand our impact across our business lines and markets.

This is not a seat where you recruit across fifteen industries. You'll go deep in one, learn the language, the players, and the market dynamics, and build a book of client and candidate relationships that compounds in value every year.

Where you'll play

• Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM)
• Specialty Pharmacy and Infusion
• Compounding Pharmacy (503A and 503B)
• HUB and Patient Services
• Healthcare Technology and Digital Health
• Digital and Health Benefits
• Healthcare Services

What you'll do

• Own searches from intake to placement, acting as a trusted advisor to hiring leaders rather than a résumé vendor
• Lead client intake conversations and translate them into sharp, precise search strategies
• Source and engage passive, high performing candidates through direct outreach, market mapping, and your growing network
• Screen, qualify, and present candidates with polished, insight rich candidate presentations
• Guide candidates and clients through interviews, offer negotiation, and the final stretch to placement
• Keep clients informed with a consistent weekly cadence, and hold them to a shared standard of fast feedback and professionalism
• Develop new client relationships and grow existing ones, this is a business building role, not just a desk role
• Stay close to your successful hires with check ins after start, so every placement becomes a lasting relationship

What you bring

• A track record in executive search, recruiting, staffing, or consultative business development, with healthcare or pharmacy experience a strong plus
• An entrepreneurial mindset, you're energized by building relationships and pipeline, not just filling requisitions
• A consultative style, with the credibility to hold your own in conversations with senior executives
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
• Discipline and organization, you're comfortable managing multiple searches with precision
• Curiosity about a complex industry, and the drive to become a genuine expert in it

Why Blue Ocean Hire

• Specialized by design. Every search you run sits inside healthcare and pharmacy, so your expertise deepens and your reputation grows faster.
• Direct access to senior leadership. No layers, no committees, and hands on mentorship from a Managing Partner with 15 plus years in the market.
• Modern tools. A full ATS and CRM, LinkedIn Recruiter, and AI enabled research and sourcing tools that let you spend more time on high value conversations.
• A network that opens doors. Relationships across more than 200 organizations in our ecosystem, plus the reach of the Sanford Rose Associates network.
• Room to grow. We're expanding our practice areas, client base, and team, and the people who join now will help shape what the firm becomes.
• Boutique by choice. We are a VOSB, Veteran Owned Small Business and believe that a focus on precision, expediency and tenacity yields the right outcomes for our client groups while leveraging our firms DNA in the market.

If you're ready to build something with real ownership in a market that's growing fast, we'd love to talk.
