Attracting the right talent for IT, software, and hardware development in medical technology

Are you looking for a software architect, an embedded engineer, or an IT manager who develops and oversees digital medical devices in a regulated environment? BESTMINDS fills IT and development positions in the medical technology sector with recruitment consultants who understand the industry from their own professional experience.

IT and software development in the medical technology sector is not your typical tech recruitment

IEC 62304, cybersecurity in accordance with IEC 81001-5-1, design controls, and the difference between a conventional software product and software as a medical device. Anyone looking for these profiles needs a network that understands this context.

Medical device software has its own set of rules

Software in the medical technology sector is subject to the IEC 62304 and MDR standards, as well as increasingly stringent cybersecurity requirements. Our recruitment consultants are familiar with these standards and evaluate candidate profiles based on their industry experience.

From embedded systems to the cloud: the full spectrum

From embedded systems developers for medical devices to software architects for SaMD platforms and IT managers in the fields of hospital IT and e-health: We cover the entire technical spectrum of the industry.

Networking Beyond Job Boards

Experienced developers with a background in medical technology are hard to find on traditional IT job platforms. Through our personally maintained network, we can discreetly and directly tap into exactly these profiles.

Focus on four industries

BESTMINDS has deliberately specialized in four core industries. This focus sets us apart from general IT recruiters and is crucial to our candidate selection process.

Clear time frames

On average, 6 to 12 weeks from commissioning to signing the contract. Clear milestones, binding interim results, no vague promises.

Staffing guarantee

Up to 18 months warranty after staffing. We stand by our work, even if conditions change.

What clients ask us

What IT and development positions are you hiring for in the medical technology sector?

We cover the entire spectrum: software engineers, embedded engineers, hardware engineers, software architects, systems engineers, IT managers, heads of IT, and cybersecurity experts with a background in medical technology. Our expertise spans traditional medical devices as well as software as a medical device, hospital IT, e-health, and AI-based diagnostics.

What sets IT recruiting in the medical technology sector apart from general tech recruiting?

Developers in the medical technology sector must not only demonstrate technical excellence but also understand the regulatory framework. This includes IEC 62304 for the software lifecycle, ISO 14971 for risk management, the MDR requirements, and, increasingly, cybersecurity in accordance with IEC 81001-5-1.
This combination is rare and requires a highly targeted search network beyond traditional IT platforms.

Do you also fill positions in the areas of hospital IT and e-health?

Yes, in addition to traditional medical device development, we also fill IT positions in clinics, hospital networks, and e-health companies. These include roles such as Head of IT, IT Project Manager, HIS specialists, and digital health architects. BESTMINDS is active in all four core industries, including the healthcare sector.

How long does a typical staffing take?

On average, it takes 6 to 12 weeks from the initial engagement to the signing of the contract. The exact duration depends on the seniority of the position, the location, and the availability of suitable candidates. We communicate realistic timelines from the very beginning.

How is the fee model structured?

The fee is based on the individual annual target salary for the position to be filled. We communicate this transparently and openly, with no hidden costs. During the initial consultation, you will receive a clear overview of our terms and conditions.
