In the ultra-competitive world of medical device sales, great candidates are bombarded with recruiter messages daily. However, not all outreach is created equal, and most is often ignored. At Fisher Search Group (FSG), we understand that to attract the top 10% of performers in the U.S. and Canada, we have to lead with more than just a job description.
Here’s how we consistently hook elite medical device sales talent—and why they choose to work with us over the dozens of other recruiters in their inbox. Don’t believe us, read our reviews.

- We Start with What Matters to Them
Top-performing reps aren’t scrolling job boards—they’re heads down, hitting quota, and protecting their time. That’s why our outreach doesn’t start with “We have an open role.” It begins with them.
We lead with insight: “Your background in hybrid capital/consumables and your success scaling early-stage territories is rare—and highly valued by our client’s national expansion.”
That opening line gets attention because it speaks directly to their experience, not our needs.
- We Sell the Why, Not Just the Job
The best candidates don’t move for lateral changes—they move for purpose, growth, and culture fit. We position every opportunity in terms of impact and long-term value.
Example: “This role puts you in front of a first-in-class device with minimal competition, a clinical story that converts fast, and equity upside with a team that closes together.”
It’s not just about what the job is—it’s about what it does for their career.
- We Personalize, Every Time
No mass emails. No generic intros. We tailor every message to the candidate’s track record, territory, career goals, and personal motivators—because we’ve done our homework.
“Noticed you’ve consistently turned around underperforming regions—our client’s looking for exactly that to lead their Jacksonville rebuild.”
Candidates want to feel seen. We make sure they do.
- We Tell the Truth—And Build Trust
Top reps know when they’re being pitched fluff. We’re upfront about territory challenges, comp structure, leadership styles, gaps in benefits, and internal expectations. That transparency earns us trust—and referrals.
“This isn’t an easy build—but the leaders here are former reps who know how to support a strong ramp. We’ve already placed three people there who can vouch for it.”
We don’t just fill jobs—we build reputations.
- We Stay Connected, Even When They’re Not Looking
Our value doesn’t stop when the role fills. We regularly keep in touch, share market trends, offer resume and negotiation advice, and act as a sounding board throughout their career.
“We’re not just calling when there’s an opening—we’re here to help you make smart moves whenever you’re ready.”
That’s why many of our candidates eventually become clients.
