Recruitment
Excelon Associates recruits across the full breadth of healthcare, from C-suite and physician leadership to nurses, CRNAs, and allied health professionals. We serve hospitals, health systems, and the colleges and schools that train the next clinical workforce, and we back hospitals with travel nurse and locum coverage.

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: 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 to see representative titles.
Executive and C-Suite Leadership
We 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
We 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
Nursing 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
Allied 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
We 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. For campus-wide searches, explore our higher education practice.
Recent role profiles from our library include the Nursing Program Director and the Dean of Nursing, two examples of the clinical leadership mandates we support.
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.
Clinical and executive leadership for health systems and community hospitals, from the C-suite to the unit floor.
Start a searchWe partner with hospitals and health systems, academic medical centers, skilled nursing facilities, private and group practices, diagnostic centers and clinics, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation centers, laboratories, colleges and schools of nursing, and allied health programs.
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.
What a Live Search Looks Like
Every search we run is published, promoted across our network, and fully indexed on Google at no extra cost to clients. The cards below are recent campaigns from across our desks. Each one opens the live LinkedIn post it represents.
