About Us

Improving Healthcare Recruitment

Our Purpose

We exist to strengthen healthcare leadership – not just fill roles. Our mission is to embed impactful and commercially minded leaders who drive sustained transformation.

Marsh Farmer was built on the belief that healthcare recruitment deserves integrity, clarity, and outcome focus. Alex and Steven founded the business to combine niche expertise with a values-led mindset, evolving into a strategic leadership partner for independent and investor-backed healthcare organisations.
We combine the rigour and reach of a global search firm with the agility and personal partnership of a boutique consultancy.

Single Point of Contact

Each assignment is led end-to-end by a dedicated consultant, ensuring clarity, accountability, and pace.

Retention as a Measure of Success

We judge our work by impact over time, not by speed of placement.

Discretion and Integrity

We manage every conversation with care, protecting reputation and building influence for both clients and candidates.

Our Philosophy - The Power of Moments

Every appointment is a moment; one that can alter the trajectory of a business or a career. We believe recruitment should be built around these moments: the decisions, conversations, and transitions that shape leadership. Our role is to help clients and candidates handle those moments well – with clarity, empathy, and precision.

That’s why we design every interaction to strengthen trust, create alignment, and ensure that when the right moment comes, both sides are ready to move decisively.

Our business is built around three core domains: Providers, Diagnostics & Health Tech, and PE-Backed Platforms, each with a dedicated consultant responsible for delivery, relationships, and growth within their market.

We deliver leadership search, executive recruitment, and advisory support – focusing on aligning leaders with mission, culture, and investor value creation.

What People Say

“Marsh Farmer is a fantastic recruitment company that I can highly recommend. The entire process dealing with Alex has been superb. He has been engaged and responsive to all my needs and questions and has been an essential link to my now employer. Alex brought a personal touch to the process and nothing was too much trouble.”

Radiology Manager

“Steve is a consummate and highly professional recruitment and talent acquisition executive. He invests huge amounts of time to genuinely get to know both client and their potential executives in order to find a good match. He brought order and professionalism to a rather chaotic and disorganised client situation. Marsh Farmer work at executive placement level and they really get to know and understand the dynamics of the industry they serve.”

Hospital Director

“Alex has been brilliant when looking for new work opportunities for me. He understood exactly what I was looking for in a job and was able to negotiate really well the few shortfalls in the job offer that otherwise was ideal for me, being able to secure the offer I wanted. I would thoroughly recommend Marsh Farmer.”

Theatre Manager

“Alex really took the time to understand my career history, skills and goals. By taking the time to understand my background he was then able to support me in taking a step outside of my comfort zone into a new role and different sector. I’m thankful to Alex and Marsh Farmer for their support and guidance.”
