From Recruitment to Digital Health Consultancy
With eight years of experience as a Digital Health recruitment consultant and impressive billing performance over the last five years—along with a year in management—I’ve received an enticing offer from a Digital Health Consultancy to come on board as a Client Account Manager. I’m curious if anyone has made a similar transition, whether in digital health or another field, and would love to hear your insights. Just to provide some context, I’m quite satisfied in my current role and truly enjoy recruitment, but given my specialization in Digital Health roles, this opportunity is hard to overlook.

It sounds like you have a great opportunity ahead of you! Transitioning from a recruitment consultant to a client account manager in a digital health consultancy could be a rewarding move, especially given your strong background in digital health recruitment.
Here are a few things to consider based on your situation:
Skill Transfer: Many skills in recruitment are transferable to consulting, such as relationship management, understanding client needs, and sales. Your insight into the digital health industry will also be invaluable in consulting roles.
Career Growth: If you’re seeking new challenges and a different career trajectory, this could be a great next step. Consulting roles often offer opportunities to work on diverse projects and engage with clients in different ways.
Passion for Digital Health: If you’re genuinely interested in digital health and want to deepen your expertise, moving into consultancy could provide that avenue. You might get a chance to work on strategies and solutions that impact the industry rather than just filling roles.
Company Culture: Make sure the consultancy aligns with your values and work style. Since you’re happy in your current role, it’s worth weighing the company culture and how it might differ from your recruitment agency.
Discuss with Your Network: If possible, connect with others who have made similar moves. Their insights can provide clarity on what to expect and how to navigate this transition successfully.
Ultimately, if you’re intrigued by the opportunity and see potential for growth, it might be worth exploring further. Good luck, and feel free to reach out if you have specific questions as you consider this transition!
