Sales Recruitment for HealthTech & MedTech
Retained search for HealthTech and MedTech commercial leaders, with NHS-procurement and clinical-stakeholder fluency as a standard part of the profile.
The North of England has one of the densest HealthTech and MedTech clusters in the UK, anchored by NHS demand, the University of Leeds and University of Sheffield medical schools, and global MedTech employers across the Humber and Greater Manchester. From NHS-facing SaaS in Leeds, to global medical devices in Hull, to digital-health scale-ups in Manchester, this is a serious commercial market.
HealthTech commercial cycles combine NHS procurement, regulated-product positioning and increasingly enterprise SaaS GTM. Evara's partners have placed in NHS-facing SaaS, global MedTech and life-sciences sales leadership and understand the procurement and clinical-stakeholder dynamics that drive these deals.
HealthTech commercial salaries in the North broadly track mainstream SaaS for equivalent seats. MedTech device sales (where the role includes clinical engagement and capital sales cycles) commonly attract a 10-20% premium over generic SaaS at equivalent seniority.
How we work
01
We start with a structured kick-off that captures the commercial objective, not just the title. Reporting line, comp envelope, the deal sizes the person will sell, the buyers they will sell to, and the behaviours that will succeed in your environment.
02
We map where the right people actually sit, across direct competitors, adjacent industries and proven environments in your region. This becomes the long-list of candidates we approach, not just whoever is on the job boards this week.
03
Candidates are approached with a clear commercial narrative, not a job advert. We communicate the opportunity, the leadership environment, the expectations and the growth path, so only genuinely relevant people move forward.
04
Two structured commercial screens before a candidate ever reaches you. Track record validation, deal-stage probing, motivation, and a credibility check on the numbers they have actually delivered.
05
You receive a considered shortlist, not a CV flood. Each candidate is presented with strengths, potential risks and a fit assessment. We then support the process through to offer, acceptance and the first 90 days.

FAQs
Yes. Senior commercial hires into NHS-facing SaaS are a recurring part of our work, particularly in Leeds where the cluster is densest.
MedTech sales typically combines clinical-stakeholder engagement, capital-equipment economics and longer cycles. We hire for those specifics rather than transferring SaaS commercial profiles directly.
A typical retained search runs 6 to 10 weeks from kick-off to offer accepted. Director-level searches sit at the longer end of that range. We will not rush a shortlist to hit an arbitrary deadline.
No. Every Evara search is retained on a two-payment structure: a commitment deposit paid up front to cover the strategic work, and a completion fee invoiced on day 60 of the placed candidate's employment. This protects the rigour of the process and means we are accountable for the outcome, not for activity.
