Stop Guessing. Start Seeing.
MedTech Talent, Strategically Matched. Clarity in hiring. Confidence in career positioning.
Your next hire won't apply through a job board.
MedTech hiring and career decisions rarely fail at the interview stage—they fail earlier, when assumptions go untested and market visibility is limited.
We apply executive search discipline to ensure your next move is informed by insight, not urgency.

Beyond Recruitment—A Smarter Approach to MedTech Hiring
Traditional recruitment is reactive. DukeMed works upstream. We don't default straight to execution; we start by understanding what you're really hiring for, how the market will respond, and where friction is likely to appear.
The Three Pillars
Search-Led, Not Vacancy-Driven
We proactively map relevant talent and identify where alignment genuinely exists, rather than waiting for applicants to surface.
Context First, Action Second
We test assumptions around talent availability, compensation, timing, and role scope before a search goes live.
Clarity as an Outcome
Sometimes our process leads to a hire. Sometimes it leads to a pause. Both are better outcomes than moving forward blind.
A Proven Methodology Derived from Executive Search
Our roadmap replaces reactive recruitment with a structured, milestone-driven process designed for roles where fit, credibility, and timing are critical.
01
Market Mapping & Talent ID
We scan the entire relevant landscape—not just active jobseekers—to see real-time insights on available talent and competitor structures.
02
Intentional Engagement
Candidates are approached with purpose and context. We don't use generic outreach; we use data-led market signals to open doors.
03
Qualified Signal (QIA)
Before you see a CV, candidates are Qualified, Interested, and Assessed. We provide "Decision-Grade" intelligence, not just resumes.
04
Offer & Retention Strategy
We manage the delicate final negotiations and provide post-hire check-ins to ensure long-term performance.
Deep Expertise Across the MedTech Ecosystem
We operate where commercial risk and clinical credibility intersect, supporting Sales, Marketing, Clinical, and Leadership roles.
Orthopaedics and Spine
Navigating one of MedTech's most complex, clinically-driven commercial environments.
Ophthalmology and Vision Care
Search-led hiring for precision-driven sectors where detail and reputation matter.
Medical Technology & Capital Equipment
Supporting capital-intensive environments where long sales cycles require high-level commercial discipline.
Devices & Consumables
Fast-moving markets requiring professionals who balance clinical trust with territory execution.
Meet Richard Duke: From Volume to Value
I didn't step into recruitment with a grand vision—I learned through 20 years on the front lines. After building medical device divisions in major firms, I realised that the consequences of a wrong hire have become too high for "contingent" defaults.
The Pivot
DukeMed was born from a desire to slow decisions down to get them right. Following a 70-day journey through Australia's Top End, I reframed my approach: search-led thinking for MedTech leaders who value structure, transparency, and sound judgement over speed and CV volume.
