Having placed thousands of professionals in clinical and healthcare roles across the country, Ryan Harper brings over 13 years of recruiting experience, with the majority spent exclusively in clinical healthcare. His career spans hands-on physician and provider recruiting at organizations like SCP Health and Sound Physicians, leading clinical recruiting operations as Director at Ob Hospitalist Group and overseeing provider recruitment strategy as Vice President at PhyNet Dermatology. That progression from filling individual requisitions to building and running entire recruiting functions gives him a perspective most agency recruiters simply don’t have. He understands what’s happening on the other side of the table because he’s sat in that chair.

With a thorough understanding of the challenges faced by both candidates and the organizations trying to hire them, we focus on listening to your needs, speaking your language, and connecting the right fit to the right opportunity. Rather than transactional, contingency driven searches, Ryan works as an embedded partner who learns your business, your culture, and your market deeply enough to go find the people who aren’t looking and give them a reason to listen.

We believe that Octo Search Partners is more than just a recruiting agency. We are trusted partners, committed to building meaningful relationships and driving successful outcomes for every client and candidate we serve. Whether the need is a physician executive, a territory sales leader, or a frontline clinical provider, every search gets the same principal-led attention.
