The Talent’s Advocate™.
A private search firm built around the talent, not the transaction. We work the whole situation: the role you actually want, the city your family can live in, the realities of relocating, and the terms that make the next chapter hold.
A private search firm. Based in NY.
Northgate™ represents extraordinary talent across medicine, business, sports, entertainment, and the sciences. Physicians remain the firm’s lead practice and the largest share of our work.
Every search is personal. Every conversation is held in confidence. By introduction.
Built around the talent.
Most firms in this category work for the end organization. They are paid to fill the seat fast. We invert that. Northgate™ works for the talent who, in our view, is the rarer asset, and the one whose career carries the longest tail.
The firm is relationship-driven. We care about the people we work with, their families, and the legacy they leave. Our goal is a permanent move that fits the person we represent, the institution, and the life behind both.
What we believe.
The commitments every engagement is measured against, in every practice, on every search. They are not aspirations; they are the conditions of working with the firm, and we hold ourselves to them in writing.
- The talent comes first.
- Every engagement begins with what the person needs. The institution is the second conversation.
- One partner, through the whole search.
- The partner who pitches the search runs the search. No handoffs.
- Confidentiality is the default.
- Names do not leave this office without written sign-off. Not on a shortlist. Not in a pitch.
- We decline the work that does not fit.
- Each year a small number of mandates. Most inquiries are returned with a no.
When you are ready to make a move,
you need the right people in your corner.
