Connecting exceptional people and companies in FDA regulated industry

John Compton

President 

With more than 20 years in executive search, I’ve helped hundreds of MedTech and Life Sciences companies hire transformative talent, from Principal Engineers and Heads of Quality to CTOs, GMs and COOs.

After countless searches (and just as many lessons learned), I’ve seen one thing hold true:  when you get hiring right, people align, execution accelerates, and performance compounds.

Today I help companies turn hiring into a competitive advantage that blends next-generation AI recruiting tools with practical, human-centered evaluation methods that drive results.

Whether it’s helping with one or two pivotal hires, or partnering to build a  bullet proof talent acquisition system & interview process, I provide a high degree of ROI to my clients.

Before Agile Search, I was an Army Officer, US Military Academy (West Point) graduate and US Army Ranger Tab awardee. After transitioning from the military and working in the business world for five years, I earned my MBA at Babson College, focused in Entrepreneurship, and launched Agile Search in 2005.
