What does an open seat cost you every week?
An open role costs you more than the recruiting fee. Someone covers the work, waits for care, or stops a service. We ask what is falling behind and who is carrying it. Use your own figures to compare the cost of waiting with the cost of hiring.
The seat is costing you every week.
Overtime, diverted patients, a stretched team and a schedule held together by favors.
The posting brought the wrong people.
Applicants arrive, but the person who has done this exact work is employed and not looking.
You are the one chasing.
Screening calls, no-shows and follow-ups land on the desk of someone with a facility to run.
What does this hire really come down to?
We recruit Mammography Technologists for permanent roles when you need more than a general imaging résumé. You need someone who can position patients, acquire diagnostic images, document their work, and support the pace of your breast imaging service. A seasoned Mammo Tech may bring recent experience with screening blocks, diagnostic callbacks, and physician-directed image requests.
That background can reduce orientation time, but you still need to compare their recent equipment use with your rooms. A technologist who knows 3D tomosynthesis on another system may need training on your detector, workstation, and image review process.
The tradeoff is visible on the schedule. Senior staff may need to review positioning, room turnover, and documentation while the new hire gains consistency.
We arrange locum tenens, travel and contract coverage on request. Credentialing, licensing and malpractice coverage are confirmed per engagement before anyone starts.
What do we check before you see anyone?
ARRT (M) credential and state license: We confirm ARRT (M) status and discuss any state license your location requires. We also ask candidates to explain their recent mammography assignment, rather than relying only on a credential listed on a résumé.
- MQSA qualifications: We screen for documented experience and qualifications relevant to MQSA personnel standards and the duties under review. Your facility completes its own credentialing, record review, and clinical assessment before a start date.
- 3D tomosynthesis: We ask which tomosynthesis systems the candidate has used, how recently, and whether they performed both screening and diagnostic studies. We ask about positioning challenges, repeat images, and when they sought input from a lead technologist or radiologist.
- Stereotactic biopsy assistance: We discuss the candidate’s role during stereotactic cases. Useful answers cover room preparation, patient positioning, image acquisition support, specimen imaging when assigned, documentation, and communication with the procedural team.
- Ultrasound-guided biopsy assistance: Ultrasound-guided support differs from stereotactic work. We ask what the technologist handled before, during, and after the case, and whether the candidate worked from a planned schedule or accommodated same-day additions.
- Shift and physical work: We ask about standing, patient transfers or assistance within the role, repeated positioning, diagnostic add-ons, and the number of rooms covered. This identifies a mismatch between a candidate’s recent assignment and your actual day.
Where do we find them, and why would they move?
Our search pool includes technologists from breast centers, hospital mammography departments, and mobile mammography programs. Each setting builds different habits. A breast-center candidate may spend more time with diagnostic studies and biopsies, while mobile work can involve setup, route changes, and working in a smaller team.
They may want a steadier schedule, newer imaging equipment, more diagnostic exposure, a shorter commute, or less travel. We ask what would need to change in their next role and whether your opening offers that change.
Which mistakes stall the search?
A common mistake is treating ARRT (M) as proof of recent competence with your tomosynthesis platform, workstation, and image documentation process. Another is describing biopsy support as a single task instead of stating whether stereotactic, ultrasound-guided, or both types are part of the role.
Waiting until final interviews to explain screening volume, diagnostic callbacks, room assignments, and who covers late-day add-ons.
How would we run the search for this opening?
We ask about room count, screening and diagnostic mix, tomosynthesis equipment, biopsy duties, schedule, and reporting structure. We review credentials, work history, recent modality use, and reasons for changing roles. You meet candidates whose background matches the assignment. We ask whether your opening covers routine screening, mixed diagnostic work, mobile service, or biopsy support before presenting candidates.

Should we consider a local candidate or a relocating technologist?
A local candidate may know the commute and regional labor market. A relocating candidate may broaden your options, but you should discuss start timing, housing plans, and long-term reasons for moving. People consider a move for practical reasons. An earlier-career candidate may be a sound choice when your team has time to train and supervise.
Do you recruit only permanent Mammography Technologists?
We arrange locum tenens, travel and contract coverage on request.
How do you verify mammography credentials?
We screen ARRT (M), relevant MQSA qualifications, work history, and any state license needed for your location. Your organization makes the final credentialing decision.
Can you find someone for 3D tomosynthesis and biopsy support?
Yes: we ask separately about 3D tomosynthesis, stereotactic assistance, and ultrasound-guided assistance. This avoids presenting a candidate whose biopsy exposure does not match your schedule.
When are fees due for a permanent hire?
No upfront fee. You pay only if you hire a candidate we introduce, and the written agreement states the fee and replacement terms for a standard search.
What should you send us about this role?
Send us the role, where the person will work and what needs to change with this hire. We will ask about the work, not just the title. Share any license or schedule limits that could rule someone out before we begin the search.
Tell us how your mammography rooms operate, what equipment you use, and where coverage breaks down. We will screen for the work your next hire must handle.
No upfront fee. You pay only if you hire. We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.

How long will it take to see a short list?
That depends on the job, schedule, available people, and what your employer can offer. We discuss those constraints before outreach and update you as candidates respond. We do not promise a fixed shortlist date. We check the job brief before arranging interviews. Tell us which parts of the role you can change.
What if a candidate receives a counteroffer?
We ask why the person wants to move and discuss competing decisions before an offer. A counteroffer can still change their choice. Keep the duties and offer clear rather than assuming more money settles every concern. Tell us early if parts of your offer cannot change, so the candidate hears it from us first.
What are the replacement terms?
We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement. Ask us to walk through those terms before you sign, so you know how a replacement would work for your opening and who would start it.
What do we not do in a standard permanent search?
We do not bill standard contingency search by the hour or simply repost your job. Temporary coverage is a separate arrangement. Any retainer or different engagement must be agreed, not assumed. Tell us early if you need coverage while the permanent search runs.
