  • 13+ years of experience in pathology and laboratory environments
  • Nationwide relationships with hospital systems, academic medical centers, reference labs, and private pathology groups
  • Exclusive focus on laboratory and pathology staffing
  • Clear communication, realistic expectations, and ongoing recruiter support
