Medical device sales is a specialised career. The best reps understand clinical settings, earn the trust of surgeons and clinicians, and still carry a number. They are rarely looking for a job, and the cost of hiring the wrong one shows up in lost accounts long after the hire.
Robertson Human Asset was founded in 2000 by Linda Robertson, a registered nurse who moved into medical device sales and sales leadership before building the firm. We recruit for the roles she held and managed: territory managers, clinical specialists, key account managers and the leaders who run their teams.
