Hobson Associates Welcomes Sam Novak to Healthcare Technology Practice

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Plantsville, CT – August 10, 2026 – Hobson Associates, a Forbes-recognized executive search leader since 1973, is pleased to welcome Sam Novak as a Recruiting Consultant in their Healthcare Technology Practice.

Healthcare technology companies are navigating a rapidly changing market where finding the right talent requires more than understanding a job description. It takes an understanding of the healthcare landscape, the technology driving it, and the people who can bring both together.

Sam brings a unique combination of executive search, corporate talent acquisition, and business development experience to his work with healthcare technology organizations and candidates. Before joining Hobson, he built his career across search firm recruiting, corporate talent acquisition, and business development within healthcare technology and digital health.

His recruiting experience includes identifying and attracting professional, executive, and key talent, including Director-level and C-suite positions, while managing searches from initial screening through offer and placement.

That experience gives Sam a perspective that extends beyond the recruiting process itself. Having worked closely with healthcare organizations and business leaders on growth initiatives, he understands the challenges companies face when building teams and the qualities that make a candidate the right fit for an organization.

Today, Sam focuses on helping healthcare technology organizations identify and secure talent across key areas of their business, including:

  • Healthcare Technology
  • Digital Health
  • Executive & Leadership
  • Professional & Key Talent

Sam takes a consultative, relationship-driven approach to recruiting, with a focus on understanding an organization's goals, identifying the right talent, and building relationships that extend well beyond a single search.

A graduate of Miami University with a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology, Sam brings a people-focused perspective to his work and a genuine interest in understanding what motivates both organizations and the professionals they want to attract.

Healthcare technology companies need more than someone who can find candidates. They need someone who understands the business, the talent, and what it takes to bring the two together,” said Danny Cahill, President & Managing Partner of Hobson Associates. “Sam brings that perspective, along with a genuine relationship-driven approach, and we’re excited to have him on the team.”

If you’re building a team in Healthcare Technology or Digital Health, or considering your next career opportunity, Sam is someone worth knowing.
