Excelon Associates is a healthcare executive search and recruitment firm founded in 2007. We recruit high-level healthcare talent across the board, from hospital and health-system executives to physicians, certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), nurse leaders, and allied health professionals. We partner with hospitals, health systems, private practices, and the colleges and schools that educate clinicians, and we support hospitals with travel nurse and locum tenens staffing. Our recruiters include former clinicians, and every placement runs through the same vetting discipline.
Healthcare hiring carries stakes that few other sectors do. A vacant chief nursing officer seat, an unfilled anesthesia rotation, or a nursing program without a director can affect patient care, accreditation, and revenue at the same time. We built our healthcare practice to move quickly without cutting corners, whether you are a hospital filling a clinical leadership gap or a college of nursing recruiting its next dean.
Which Healthcare Roles Do We Recruit For?
We recruit at every level of the care continuum. That spans executive and C-suite leadership, physicians and advanced practice clinicians, nursing leadership, allied health and diagnostics, and the academic faculty who train them. Select an area below to see representative titles.
Executive and C-Suite Leadership
System & Hospital LevelWe place senior healthcare executives at hospitals, health systems, and academic medical centers. These searches are confidential and built around the clinical, financial, and regulatory realities your leadership team operates in every day.
Physicians and Advanced Practice
Clinical ProvidersWe recruit physicians across specialties along with the advanced practice clinicians who extend their reach. That includes certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, for both permanent placements and hard-to-fill coverage.
Nursing Leadership
Patient Care LeadershipNursing leadership sets the tone for patient care and staff retention. We place the directors, managers, and educators who run nursing operations and keep units staffed, compliant, and stable.
Allied Health and Diagnostics
Clinical & AncillaryAllied health and diagnostic teams keep a facility running. We recruit across imaging, laboratory, pharmacy, rehabilitation, and respiratory care, at both staff and leadership levels.
Academic Healthcare
Colleges & SchoolsWe recruit the faculty and academic leaders who train the clinical workforce, placing deans, program directors, and clinical educators at nursing and allied health programs, including CCNE, ACEN, CAPTE, and ARC-PA accredited programs.
Who Do We Partner With?
Excelon Associates works across the healthcare landscape, on both sides of the field: the organizations that deliver care and the institutions that train the people who provide it.
For hospitals and health systems, that means clinical and executive leadership, hard-to-fill provider roles, and flexible staffing support when census or coverage demands it.
For colleges and schools, it means the deans, program directors, and clinical educators who keep nursing and allied health programs accredited and full. Because we recruit on both sides, we understand how the talent pipeline connects, from the classroom to the unit floor.
Travel Nurses and Locum Tenens Staffing
When a hospital needs coverage fast, a permanent search is not always the answer. Excelon works with hospitals and health systems on travel nurse and locum tenens staffing, supplying credentialed clinicians for short-term, seasonal, and interim needs. The same vetting standards we apply to retained searches apply here, so the clinician who shows up is the clinician we promised.

What Sets Our Healthcare Practice Apart?
Former Clinicians on Our Team
Our healthcare desk includes former nurses who now recruit full time. They evaluate clinical candidates the way a hiring manager would, which matters when the role is a chief nursing officer, a CRNA, or a nursing program director.
Passive Candidates First
The strongest clinicians and healthcare executives are rarely scanning job boards. We identify and approach high performers in their current roles, reaching talent your own postings will never surface.
Coverage When You Need It
From retained executive search to travel and locum coverage, we match the engagement to the urgency. Every search is marketed across our network and fully indexed on Google at no extra cost.
Hospitals and Academia, Connected
Because we recruit for both care delivery and the schools that train clinicians, we understand the full talent pipeline. Few firms can speak to a CNO and a dean of nursing with equal fluency.
Credentialing and Accreditation Fluency
Healthcare hiring runs on credentials, and we speak that language. We understand Joint Commission standards, ANCC Magnet recognition, and CMS requirements on the delivery side, along with board certification and state licensure and compact considerations for clinical providers. On the academic side, we know the CCNE and ACEN standards that govern nursing programs, along with CAPTE for physical therapy and ARC-PA for physician assistant programs. That fluency lets us judge candidates against the requirements your organization will actually scrutinize.
