Over the years, I’ve worked with numerous executive search firms, as both a hiring manager and a candidate. What sets Tess apart is the quality of her questions – you can tell she’s done her homework on the industry, the client and the candidate. She is communicative, thorough, and genuinely invested in making the right match – not just filling a role. I’d recommend Tess without hesitation to both candidates looking for executive placement as well as companies looking to build out leadership in a health tech organization.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Betsy, and I can say with complete confidence that she is one of the most exceptional recruiters I’ve ever partnered with. Betsy successfully placed me at two companies in the last 15 years, both of which aligned perfectly with my skill set, leadership style, and the culture I thrive in. Finding one great fit is hard enough—finding two is a true testament to her talent.
What sets Betsy apart is her deep understanding of both the industry and the individuals she works with. She takes the time to really listen, learn, and match people thoughtfully—not just based on experience, but on values, interests, and long-term goals. Her communication is consistently clear, timely, and honest, and she brings a level of professionalism and warmth that makes the entire process seamless.

I had the pleasure of working with Tess Birch during my transition to HHAeXchange, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in the process. From our very first conversation, Tess demonstrated a deep understanding of both the healthcare technology space and the nuances of leadership roles.
What stood out most was Tess’s ability to truly listen. She took the time to understand not only my professional background and aspirations but also the kind of impact I wanted to make in my next role. She connected those insights with a clear understanding of the organization’s needs, ensuring the opportunity was the right fit on both sides.
Tess was proactive, transparent, and supportive throughout every stage—keeping me well-informed, preparing me thoughtfully, and ensuring the experience was seamless. Her professionalism and commitment went well beyond the transactional; she genuinely cared about the outcome and my long-term success.
I’m grateful for her partnership and highly recommend Tess to any executive or organization seeking a trusted advisor in talent placement.

I’ve worked with Gibson Consultants on three executive searches, and this is my second time partnering directly with Betsy. She brings a highly consultative approach—taking the time upfront to align on the ideal candidate profile and ensuring clarity throughout the process. Betsy combines professionalism with strong judgment, consistently surfacing candidates who are both well-qualified and aligned with our organizational goals. I would strongly recommend Betsy and the Gibson team to any company looking for a thoughtful and effective search partner.
