Senior Vice President of Recruiting, Academic Search
Josh Hunt
Bio
Josh Hunt is Senior Vice President of The Medicus Firm's Academic Search division, where he leads strategy, growth, and performance for the team. He partners with academic medical centers, teaching hospitals, and health systems with graduate medical education programs on complex physician recruitment, work that often calls for customized research, targeted outreach, and a more strategic approach than traditional recruiting allows.
Josh brings 14 years of experience in physician and advanced practitioner recruitment, business development, and leadership to TMF, which he joined in 2018. He spent two years in oil and gas after graduating from Texas State University before moving into healthcare, growing from an entry-level consultant into a VP-level leadership role. He leads with an emphasis on accountability, collaboration, and adaptability, and he's especially interested in how technology, including AI, can sharpen the recruiting process without losing the human judgment that makes a search work.
A native of Granbury, Texas, where he still lives today, Josh earned his bachelor's degree in communication studies, with a minor in business administration, from Texas State University. He and his wife, Kasey, have two young children. Outside of work, he's usually spending time with family, playing golf, traveling, or trying new restaurants.
