Source EQ recruits healthcare executives, physicians, and clinical leaders for organizations in Boston, Massachusetts. We place the A players — the people who don't respond to job boards — through direct outreach grounded in 20+ years of healthcare network relationships.
Boston is one of the most distinctive healthcare markets in the United States — a city where world-class academic medical centers, cutting-edge biotech companies, and innovative digital health startups coexist within a few miles of each other. Mass General Brigham, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston Children's Hospital, and Tufts Medicine anchor a health system landscape defined by research, innovation, and clinical excellence. The city's behavioral health ecosystem is similarly strong, with a dense network of community mental health centers, substance use disorder treatment programs, and academic psychiatric programs. Massachusetts has been at the forefront of mental health parity legislation and community-based behavioral health reform, creating a sophisticated market for behavioral health clinical and executive talent. The talent pool in Boston skews toward academically credentialed clinicians and researchers — which creates both opportunities and challenges for organizations recruiting clinical leaders who can bridge academic rigor with operational performance.
Source EQ serves Boston-area organizations as part of our national healthcare recruiting practice. We are not a local staffing agency — we are a boutique executive search firm with national reach and deep specialty expertise that operates effectively in the Boston market because we maintain relationships with the clinical and executive talent active there.

The most impactful healthcare leaders in any market — including Boston — are already employed, performing well, and not on any job board. They move when the right opportunity finds them: personally, thoughtfully, and with a clear picture of what they would be joining.
Source EQ reaches these professionals through direct outreach grounded in long-term network relationships. We don't blast your job description to a generic candidate pool. We identify the specific individuals who are the best fit for your organization and reach them personally — explaining your mission, your opportunity, and why we believe it's right for them.
Every candidate we present has been deeply interviewed by Christine Rossell, MBA personally. You receive a curated shortlist of 3 to 5 exceptional candidates who have been assessed for clinical competency, cultural fit, leadership capacity, and genuine interest in your organization — before you ever spend time meeting them.
