Illumin Advisors was founded on the principle that healthcare IT recruiting requires deep recruiting expertise combined with real-world technology and healthcare experience.
Founder Jeff Szczepanski has 30 years of technology experience and has successfully filled more than 500 technology roles — from CIOs to Epic Analysts. At TEKsystems (Allegis Group), he built the healthcare vertical practice for Louisiana and Mississippi, played a key role in building the Central U.S. healthcare team, and led a team of 16 account managers and recruiters focused on healthcare clients.
His specialized healthcare focus dates back to 2004, with longstanding relationships across health systems, payers, home health, behavioral health, and healthcare technology companies nationwide. In addition to recruiting, he has led application development and e-commerce technology teams and managed multiple implementation and product selection initiatives — bringing an operator’s perspective to every search and advisory engagement.
