Santé Consulting was founded in 2008. We are an industry leader specializing in the recruitment and retention of pathologists, Ph.D. / doctoral candidates, and laboratory medicine executives.
As a team charged with matching each client’s needs and vision to the right candidate, we recognize that we have a high calling.

We believe that each client and candidate deserves a tailored approach to their search. We recognize that there are more important stakes involved than simply filling a position. Our clients are working to fulfill a vision and a mission to provide the highest level of professional healthcare diagnostics possible for the patient. And our candidates are trying to grow a career where they can have a positive, long-term impact that suits their desired career path and lifestyle.
