Healthcare Technology Recruiting for Teams Shipping Under Real Stakes
Contract, contract-to-hire, and direct placement talent who understand both the software and the regulation.
Whether you're a digital health startup racing to a launch or a health system replacing a platform that's been limping along since 2014, you're hiring from the same pool. And most of that pool has never built anything where a bug touches a patient record. Catch finds healthcare technology people who get it: engineers who've shipped inside HIPAA, product leaders who've navigated a go-live, data teams who know what a claim actually looks like. From Software Engineers to Product Managers to Integration Engineers, we deliver interview-ready professionals who fit your team, your stage, and your culture.
Three Ways to Get the People You Need
Different problems, different solutions. Here's how health tech teams actually use us.
Contract Staffing
When you need capacity, not headcount.
The go-live date moved up, the security assessment is in six weeks, and hiring approvals are frozen until the next budget cycle. Catch puts vetted healthcare technology professionals on your team fast, on our payroll, with the flexibility to scale as priorities shift.
Vetted talent with real healthcare technology experience
Co-employment protection, we handle W2, payroll, and compliance
Flex your team up or down as the roadmap changes
Local presence with a national footprint
Meaningful reduction in time-to-hire
Direct Placement
When the seat needs a long-term owner.
Some hires can't be temporary. A VP of Engineering, a Chief Information Security Officer, a Head of Product, a Director of Data. For those, we run the full search: position-specific sourcing, pre-screening, qualification, and selection, then stay in it as your partner all the way through offer and close.
Talent attraction and engagement strategy built for your stage
Position-specific sourcing and long-term pipeline development
Pre-screen, qualify, and select, so you only meet real contenders
Interviewing strategy and development
A strategic partner and liaison through the close, not a resume vending machine
Contract-To-Hire
When you want to test the waters.
The role matters and the budget's approved, but a senior engineer who's never worked in a regulated environment costs you a quarter you can't get back. Bring someone on contract, watch them work inside your stack and your controls, and convert when you're confident. Both sides get a real look first.
Try before you commit, and so do they
Lower risk on business-critical technical and security roles
Clean, straightforward conversion terms
Candidates get a genuine feel for your culture and your environment

Why Health Tech Companies Keep Calling Us Back
TALENT
Fully-vetted, offer-ready candidates of the highest quality. In healthcare technology that means we've verified the technical depth, pressure-tested how they've operated inside HIPAA and audit environments, and confirmed they've worked at your scale and stage. An engineer who's never handled PHI is a different hire than one who has. We know the difference. We don't forward resumes, we send people who are ready to say yes.
TIME
Your team is shipping product, preparing for a go-live, and answering to compliance. Screening 300 applications isn't the job. Health tech searches burn time because the people who've actually done this work aren't applying, they're heads-down somewhere good. Reaching them takes relationships you've been building for years, and that's our problem to solve, not yours. We free up your time and resources so you can get back to the work that moves the business.
TEAM
A tenured crew with deep industry knowledge and real relationships. Our recruiters can talk through an interoperability stack, understand why a payer-side data engineer isn't the same as a provider-side one, and know which certifications actually matter versus which are just letters on a resume. You get people who've been doing this a while, not a rotating cast of order-takers.
Who We Are
Catch Talent is a high-touch recruiting agency that delivers end-to-end talent acquisition solutions to growing technology, financial services, healthcare, digital and creative, professional services, and government contracting companies.
Headquartered in Charleston, SC, we specialize in the full talent attraction lifecycle: sourcing and recruiting qualified candidates who are interview-ready, culturally-aligned, and ready to make an immediate impact.
Healthcare technology sits at the intersection of two things we've done for years: technology recruiting and regulated-industry hiring. We've helped digital health companies, health systems, payers, and healthcare software vendors build teams through funding rounds, platform migrations, product launches, and the occasional all-hands-on-deck sprint. That work built the network, and the network is what you're hiring.
Built on relationships. Focused on people. That’s how we work.

Tell us what you're building and who you need on it. Whether it's one hard-to-fill Integration Engineer seat or an entire product team from scratch, we'd love to hear about it. Fill out the short form and we'll be in touch quickly, with actual humans.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The technology and business side of healthcare. Engineering, data, cloud, and security on the technical side. Product, design, and QA on the build side. EHR analysts, integration engineers, and revenue cycle technology specialists on the systems side. Plus the go-to-market and leadership roles that turn a good platform into a real company.
-
No. We focus on the technology and business side of healthcare: engineers, product managers, data teams, security professionals, systems analysts, and commercial roles. If you need licensed clinical staff or direct patient care roles, we're not the right fit, and we'll tell you that on the first call rather than waste your time.
-
Faster than a job post and a hope. Because we work from an existing network instead of starting cold, most searches produce a qualified slate quickly. Actual timing depends on the role, the market, and how narrow the requirements are. Tell us the position and we'll give you a straight answer on what's realistic before you commit to anything.
-
Contract means the professional works on your team but sits on our payroll, ideal for go-lives, migrations, audits, and defined-scope projects. Contract-to-hire is the same setup with a built-in path to convert them once you're confident. Direct placement means we run a full search and they join you as a permanent employee from day one.
-
Both. Catch is headquartered in Mount Pleasant, SC and we know the Southeast market deeply, but we recruit and place nationally, including for remote and hybrid teams. Local presence, national footprint. If you're hiring in a market we haven't worked yet, tell us and we'll be honest about what we can do.
-
That's a core part of how we screen. We pressure-test whether someone has actually built or operated inside a HIPAA environment, handled PHI, or worked through a security assessment, versus just listing it on a resume. For security and compliance roles specifically, we verify credentials and audit experience before you ever see the candidate.
-
Yes. EHR application analysts, implementation consultants, and health IT systems analysts across the major platforms. We check certification status and, more importantly, what modules and go-lives they've actually worked, because a certification without implementation experience isn't the same hire.
-
That's one of our favorite problems. We've supported companies through funding rounds, platform migrations, product launches, and rapid scaling, adapting the engagement as your needs change. Sometimes that's a single strategic hire, sometimes it's a blended contract-and-direct approach to stand up an entire function. We'll build the plan with you.
-
It depends on the engagement model and the role. Contract staffing is billed at an hourly rate that includes wages, burden, and our fee. Direct placement is a fee based on the hire. There's no cost to have the first conversation, and we'll walk you through the numbers before anything gets signed.
-
We stand behind our placements. Direct placement engagements include a guarantee period, and on contract engagements we can swap talent if the fit isn't right. The specifics get spelled out in your agreement, and we'd rather over-communicate on this upfront than surprise anyone later.
