The Mullings Group Companies (TMG), a global leader in talent access for MedTech, HealthTech, and Life Sciences, today officially launched its Strategic Initiative Service—a new offering designed to handle large-scale, mission-critical hiring programs often too complex for traditional HR-led recruiting.
For years, TMG has supported projects ranging from build-to-buy initiatives to urgent quality remediation hires, but CEO Joe Mullings noted that many in the market didn’t realize this capability existed.
“When key initiatives take shape—like a salesforce buildout or a hiring surge of 50 to 100+ specialized roles—we’re uniquely positioned as the largest MedTech search firm to execute at scale and speed,” said Mullings. “The industry is at a pivotal moment where demand for high-impact hiring continues to accelerate.”
What the Service Delivers
The Strategic Initiative Service is aimed at programs prioritized at the C-suite level—initiatives that require precision, confidentiality, and accelerated timelines. TMG’s approach includes:
-
Talent Market Mapping to identify the best available candidates.
-
Deep collaboration with both HR leaders and executives.
-
End-to-end execution of hiring plans that often span dozens of roles across engineering, regulatory, commercial, and leadership functions.
Leadership Expansion: Kirk Petyo Joins as EVP
As part of the expansion, Kirk Petyo has been appointed Executive Vice President, co-leading the service alongside Mullings.
Petyo brings over 20 years of MedTech and Life Sciences recruiting expertise, including scaling multimillion-dollar hiring programs and building entire recruiting divisions from scratch.
“Every mid-cap and large strategic in MedTech now has a dedicated partner in TMG for specialized hiring,” said Mullings. “Kirk brings proven firepower to help companies deliver on their most critical initiatives—on time and at scale.”
Building Partnerships That Scale
Petyo’s career is marked by a relationship-first philosophy, mentoring teams, and aligning recruiting strategies with business outcomes.
“I joined TMG because of the chance to build something meaningful with a team as passionate about MedTech as I am,” said Petyo. “Leading our Strategic Initiative Service with Joe taps into the work I’ve loved most—driving large-scale hiring programs that truly move the needle.”
Why It Matters
As MedTech companies face mounting pressure to innovate and scale faster, talent acquisition is emerging as a strategic differentiator. By formalizing its Strategic Initiative Service, TMG is positioning itself as the go-to partner for mission-critical hiring—offering not just search expertise, but the ability to execute C-suite-driven projects that demand precision and speed.
