Joe Day, co-founder of Med Talent, leverages years of firsthand experience in the healthcare industry to revolutionize recruitment for business professionals in the dental and medical sectors. With a global reach and a focus on precision, trust, and long-term relationships, Med Talent specializes in placing top talent in senior roles that drive growth and innovation.

A Unique Approach to Healthcare Recruitment

What drives Joe Day, co-founder of Med Talent, a recruitment firm with a global reach in the healthcare space including dental? Joe’s story isn’t your typical recruitment tale. He didn’t “grow up” in the recruitment industry. Instead, he was immersed in the challenges of hiring, motivating and leading ideal candidates for his own teams—positions he’s held himself over the years, from Sales Representative to Vice President of Marketing and General Manager for a leading dental manufacturer. With his unique background and firsthand experience in the dental world, Joe understands what both clients and candidates need to thrive, giving Med Talent a distinct advantage when it comes to matching talent with the right roles.

Throughout his career, Joe has lived and worked in North America, Europe and Asia, gaining an unparalleled global perspective that enriches Med Talent’s approach. It’s a perspective he believes is essential to building an effective recruitment process. "The best education I could have asked for was to have such a dynamic and diverse corporate experience," Joe says. "It allows my team and I to engage from a unique, informed perspective with clients and candidates."

In the ever-evolving dental industry, where leadership transitions and business strategies can shift rapidly, Med Talent has focused on one core philosophy: flawless execution. But Joe will tell you that marketing and PR only get you so far. The true path to success, he believes, is creating an exceptional client experience—one that centers on precision, trust and relationships that go beyond the transactional.

This commitment to quality is especially crucial when it comes to high-stakes, confidential searches. Whether it’s placing a senior executive or navigating sensitive transitions within a business, Joe often takes on these assignments himself to ensure discretion and an extremely targeted approach. "Trust, elegance and precision are paramount in our work," Joe notes. "We know that in some of these high-level searches, we are working with private equity firms or Board members where confidentiality and tact are essential."

Connecting Talent with Opportunity: A Personalized Approach

Med Talent’s network extends far beyond just a database of candidates. Over years of refining their recruitment process, they’ve built a proprietary system that allows them to rapidly identify the right candidates. Many times, Med Talent has already engaged with their ideal candidates, forming relationships over time, so when an opportunity arises, they don’t need to start from scratch. The outreach is often as simple as a quick text: "Call me, we have something special for you."

But what truly sets Med Talent apart is their philosophy that recruitment is about more than just filling a role—it’s about helping people through pivotal moments in their careers. Whether it’s celebrating a new opportunity or providing support during tough times, Med Talent’s team is there for professionals throughout their entire journey. "When someone makes the first call to us after a difficult change in their career, we know we’ve earned their trust," Joe reflects. "Being there in their 'moment of need' builds relationships beyond what’s possible in traditional recruitment."
