Operator Level Insight
Into Every Hire.
Duco was built by professionals who have held executive roles, not just filled them. We bring real operator experience to every search we take on.
Why Duco?
Why Duco?
Most recruiting firms understand job descriptions. We understand businesses.
The Duco team has held senior leadership positions across healthcare organizations, technology companies, and high-growth startups from early stage all the way to Fortune 500. We have built teams, managed P&Ls, and sat on both sides of the hiring table.
That experience changes everything about how we recruit. We do not just match credentials to requirements. We evaluate judgment, leadership presence, and cultural fit the way a seasoned executive would because we have been seasoned executives.
When the hire matters, that difference is everything.

Our Statistics
Our numbers reflect something most firms cannot claim. A team that has operated at the executive level and recruits from that same vantage point.
We do not submit resumes. We present vetted leaders. Every candidate we put in front of you has been screened not just for credentials but for the judgment, presence, and business acumen the role actually demands.
Speed matters. So does getting it right. Our process is built to deliver both.
Our Services
Whether you need to fill a mission critical C-suite role with full discretion or you are scaling a healthcare leadership team under pressure, we bring the same level of rigor and operator level perspective to every search we take on.
Retained Search
For mission critical roles that require a dedicated, thorough search. We work exclusively on your behalf, leveraging our network and operator level insight to identify leaders who are aligned with your goals, your culture, and the real demands of the role.
Contingency Search
Need to move fast? Our contingency model gives you access to qualified candidates quickly with no upfront cost. You only pay upon a successful placement making it a low risk, high value option when time is not on your side.
Executive Search
C-suite and VP level placements require a different level of discretion and precision. We identify top tier executive talent through a rigorous, confidential process and we evaluate every candidate the way an experienced operator would.
Focus Areas
We recruit in spaces we know deeply. Healthcare and technology are where we have spent our careers, built our networks, and made our most consequential hires.
When an executive candidate sits across from us, they know we understand their world. That credibility opens doors other firms cannot.

Hear What Our Clients Are Saying
Our primary focus is client and candidate satisfaction. Here is what some of our clients have to say about working with Duco.
The team at Duco did a terrific job working with us to find a highly qualified and experienced CIO. From the beginning, the process was clearly laid out, well executed and moved quickly. They really listened to what we were looking for, asking appropriate and challenging questions to make sure we got the right candidates in front of us the first time. Ultimately we had more than one candidate we were considering for the role. Great work!
John McGrath
Chief Financial Officer
We are an early stage start-up tech company and went through two other agencies before we found our match at Duco. Initially, we needed a Director of Operations that could wear multiple hats to get the company off of the ground. The team at Duco understood our vision and our business 360 degrees. They found us our unicorn and we were happy to trust them to build other teams within our organization.

Our Process
Assessment & Analysis
We start by understanding your business, not just the open role. Every search begins with a deep dive into your organization, your culture, and what a successful hire actually looks like in practice.
Profile Creation
We build an ideal candidate profile based on your real business needs. Not a list of keywords. This becomes the foundation of our entire search and the standard every candidate is measured against.
Candidate Targeting
We go after the people who are not looking. The best candidates are rarely on job boards. Our network and outreach strategy is built around reaching accomplished passive professionals who are open to the right opportunity.
Candidate Interview
Every candidate is screened by our team before they ever reach you. We assess not just experience but judgment, communication, and leadership presence. You only see people worth your time.
Offer & Placement
Once you have selected your candidate, we manage the offer process from start to finish. We have been on both sides of this conversation and we know how to get to a clean close.
Transition Support
A great placement does not end with a signed offer. We stay engaged through onboarding to make sure the transition is smooth for both the client and the candidate.
