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 recently worked with Ginny Nelson on a retained search. I have worked with various recruiters in the past and wanted to pass along that she stood out in a big way. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and equally as important, I was very impressed by her extreme level of detail and thoughtful approach. It was obvious that she was determined to fully understand our platform/technology and target audience so she would know who exactly to target in terms of candidate profiles. She is clearly a major asset to your business and felt the recognition was deserved. She is outstanding.

While HMS was transforming our culture, Gibson Consultants brought in over 30 new team members to help us deliver our promise to Medicaid. HMS historically struggled with positions like the VP of Strategy, Medicaid Regional Directors, Sales Leaders and Product Managers – all which Gibson filled in a very timely manner. They took the time to understand our business, culture and values which enabled them to work faster and more effectively than any other firm, including the much larger executive search firms.
- Bill Lucia, President & CEO (former), HMS Holdings Corp.
Rick Dellapia did work on a difficult recruitment. He listened to my needs, and identified and screened candidates with subtlety and nuance. We got several excellent candidates located close to our home office. It was miraculous.
Tina demonstrated great work ethic and exceptional communications skills doing candidate recruitment work for me. She interviewed candidates who weren’t even looking and got them interested in my role and company. The candidates that made it through her filter were excellent matches and highly motivated.
- Eric Cahow, VP Government Markets Performance, Independence Blue Cross
Betsy is the gold standard in the executive search world. She recently brought to me an outstanding opportunity, one she knew would be a great fit for me and the organization. She took the time over the past couple of years to get to know me and the things I find important. I found it amazing how much she cared and stayed connected throughout the entire process. She’s also just a super human being! If you’re ever in the market to make a change in career, do yourself a favor and reach out to her.

Whitney reached out to me regarding an executive opening at a firm. I was very interested from the beginning and she facilitated the job opening and interview process exceptionally.

I really liked working with Whitney and am certain that anyone she reaches out to will love dealing with the job process with her!

I worked with Emily during my time at Archer Western. She introduced me to the HR world as my supervisor, provided me mentorship, training and leadership. She was honest, and always held to what was right. She always did her best for managers and employees alike. It was a pleasure working with her and I enjoy having her as a professional colleague.

Whitney contacted me about an open position and I was immediately impressed with her professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail.
Throughout the recruitment process, Whitney consistently demonstrated her strong communication skills, keeping me informed and up-to-date on next steps. She took the time to get to know me as a candidate, and was able to match my skills and experience with the needs of her client.
What impressed me most about Whitney was her ability to build relationships with both candidates and clients. She was able to represent the needs and interests of her client while also connecting with me on a personal level. Her approach was always professional, but also warm and friendly.

- Ellena Weaver, Enterprise Director – Quality, Accreditation, Medical Programs, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield
I worked with both Christie Yoash and Whitney Kessinger of Gibson Consultants on two different healthcare searches. During my career I have worked with many recruiters and experienced a difference working with Christie and Whitney. They dedicated time to understand my background, skills, leadership, and how I might best fit the positions they were filling. When you work with them, you feel like you are the only person they are working with, not one of many. They are interested in what makes you unique for the position. I highly recommend working with them – you will develop a great relationship you will want to revisit again in the future.
- Lynne Manganaro, Director of Network Management & Development, UPMC Health Plan
I sincerely enjoyed working with Trey during my career transition. Not only was he always responsive, but his understanding of the industry and marketplace helped us make sure this was a good fit on both of our ends. I would recommend him to any of my colleagues looking for new opportunities.

I’ve partnered with Colleen and Brian for quite some time now. They listen, They understand your needs, They articulate when you can’t, and then They find great candidates and never waste your time.

They bring value greater than the ROI expected, every time.

She is dedicated, organized, and highly effective… Ginny’s willingness to go the extra mile is what impressed me the most…Lastly, I had never worked with a recruiting partner before Ginny.

She made the time to get to know me personally and aid with the job search process in all the ways detailed above. It really demonstrated to me that she cares about the success of her clients. I highly recommend Ginny to anybody looking for help in advancing their career, and strongly endorse her skill set.

Our team worked with Betsy for the first time on a recent search, and I found her to be engaged, thorough and responsive throughout the search process. This search was for a very specific candidate in a difficult to fill area, and Betsy did an excellent job learning about our organizational culture and specific needs for the candidate. This allowed Betsy to leverage her experience and network to connect us with a number of top qualified candidates making our decision a tough one, which is exactly what we wanted. Thank you Betsy and Gibson Consultants !
- Nick Barcelona, CFO, Temple University Health System
Trey led our search for a Chief Operating Officer, coming well recommended from a former colleague of mine. From start to finish they were organized and professional. He and Jim did such a great job we ended up with multiple extremely well-qualified candidates, leaving us a very difficult choice to make for our finalist. I would definitely recommend and would definitely use them again.
- Ryan Ziemann, Interim CEO and Chief Financial Officer, Piedmont Community Health Plan
Betsy has done an amazing job finding stellar candidates for Sellers Dorsey. We’ve filled multiple positions over the past year working together and for each opening, she really takes the time to understand exactly what the need is and what a successful candidate looks like. I jokingly tell her I am looking for unicorns and yet she keeps finding them! A joy to work with, I highly recommend Betsy and the Gibson Consulting team.
- Justin St. Andre, Managing Director, Sellers Dorsey
Trey was an excellent, accountable, and responsible partner in the searches I placed with him.

- Jason Ivey, Senior Consultant, Sellers Dorsey
Trey is without a doubt, the most experienced and knowledgeable executive healthcare recruiter I’ve worked with. His expertise in the Risk Adjustment space was unparalleled. He clearly outlined expectations, timeline and next steps. His vacation coincided with my interview and offer process, but communication never suffered with calls coming from his trip destination to offer support and coaching. Trey took the extra steps to make sure my skill set aligned with the role, but more importantly the list of my “must haves” were met as well. Excellent, smooth experience. Thank you, Trey
- Trey Johnson, Director of Sales – Provider Network, Vatica Health
