Source EQ recruits healthcare executives, physicians, and clinical leaders for organizations in San Francisco, California. 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.
The San Francisco Bay Area is the global epicenter of healthcare technology and venture-backed digital health innovation. Companies like Carbon Health, Hims & Hers, Grand Rounds, Included Health, and dozens of others have emerged from the Bay Area's unique intersection of venture capital, technology talent, and healthcare disruption ambition. UCSF Health and Stanford Health Care anchor the academic medical center landscape, while a network of community health centers serves the Bay Area's diverse and often underserved communities. The behavioral health crisis in San Francisco is severe and well-documented — the city's combination of high cost of living, significant unhoused population, and opioid epidemic creates extraordinary demand for skilled behavioral health and SUD clinicians. At the executive level, Bay Area healthcare organizations compete with technology companies for talent, creating compensation benchmarks and cultural expectations that are distinct from most other US healthcare markets. Source EQ recruits clinical and executive leaders for digital health companies, UCSF-affiliated organizations, community health centers, and behavioral health organizations operating in the Bay Area.
Source EQ serves San Francisco-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 San Francisco market because we maintain relationships with the clinical and executive talent active there.

The most impactful healthcare leaders in any market — including San Francisco — 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.
