What Others Say
I have worked with Kester Search Group and Lee Kester directly on & off over the past 7+ years. Lee has successfully placed dozens of sales managers and outside sales professionals for KaVo Kerr Group (Danaher). Kester Search Group is a true boutique search firm specializing in placing senior sales leaders + executing on salesforce expansions for growth-oriented healthcare companies.

Ambry Genetics utilized Kester Search Group (KSG) as their exclusive sales & management recruiting partner to place 50+ outside sales reps across three different divisions (Oncology, Cardiology, Neurology) over the past 4 years. The senior leadership at Ambry found that KSG's ability to locate, interview, recruit, and successfully place qualified candidates that fit into our unique culture to be outstanding.
CHRIS SANDS, SR. DIRECTOR OF SALES
I have been working with the Kester team for well over a year now and I can say they have been by far the best and most professional recruiting group I have dealt with. In addition to the high quality candidates they have presented to me, the follow up and open lines of communication are great. I would highly recommend this group if you are hiring out a sales team.
Brett Wagner, Vice President Sales at Tempus
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Lee and his firm, Kester Search Group, for over seven years. When they first placed me as a Sales Director, I was so impressed with their service and results that I entrusted them with all my recruiting needs ever since. No search firm casts a wider net to find a diverse pool of candidates, and then dives as deep to find the absolute best fit. Lee’s intellectual curiosity allows him to understand his hiring clients better than anyone else, ensuring a perfect match every time. His attention to detail, genuine approach, and commitment to understanding both clients and candidates are remarkable. If you’re seeking an executive search firm specializing in leadership, sales, and marketing recruitment within the dental or medical industries, I highly recommend Kester Search Group. They are in a league of their own.
Kurt Frazier, VP at LightForce
As the Director of Sales for Advanced Imaging focused on Focal One and ExactVu, I recently engaged Kester Search Group to assist me with two critically important Regional Sales Manager hires with very specific hiring profiles under an extremely tight deadline. I was impressed with Lee and his team's professionalism, sense of urgency, and ability to recruit highly qualified disruptive capital equipment reps quickly. I would recommend Kester Search Group to other senior leaders who are looking for a consultative talent acquisition partner focused on leadership + sales and marketing recruiting.
