For employers

Sales hiring for companies selling into healthcare.

Specialist recruitment of SDRs, BDRs, Account Executives and Account Managers for healthtech, NHS suppliers, digital health, care tech, medtech and pharma software.

The problem with generalists

Healthcare selling is its own discipline.

Generalists sell confidence

A strong interview is not the same as navigating a nine-month NHS procurement. Generalist recruiters rarely know the difference.

The wrong hire costs a year

In long-cycle healthcare sales, a mis-hire is often not visible until pipeline fails to convert — by which time a year has passed.

The talent pool is small

People who have sold into trusts, ICBs and PCNs are few, well known and rarely on job boards.

Our specialism

We have carried the quota.

Gateway was founded by a former quota-carrying salesperson who has sold technology into the NHS. We understand long sales cycles, NHS procurement and frameworks, and what it takes to sell to practice managers, PCNs, ICBs and trusts.

That means sharper briefs, better questions and candidates assessed against the realities of your market.
