Tim Besett
Director of Recruiting
Tim brings 15 years of full life-cycle recruiting experience to ReCreation. He has a proven ability to effectively analyze markets, target areas of highest return and develop strategies to attain recruitment goals to satisfy both client and candidate needs.
Tim began his career at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation where he was responsible for all sales and marketing for the newly developed system-wide Open MRI Imaging Centers. Tim established marketing protocol which significantly increased physician referrals and patient participation.
His desire to develop deeper professional relationships led him to co-founding a Management Recruiters franchise in 2000. While there, Tim established the area of focus for the agency and managed a five desk account executive team for a multi-million dollar recruiting firm.
In 2003 Tim founded his own recruiting firm, Day Executive Services, Inc., which specialized in the competitive allied healthcare vertical market. As an owner/operator he handled the end to end recruiting process including marketing/contractual agreements, understanding the client hiring need, identifying and qualifying the talent, and managing the internal interview offer and hire.
Tim’s commitment to building straight-forward, long-term relationships with both clients and candidates led him to join ReCreation in 2015 as Director of Recruiting. Tim’s long-term view to executive recruitment is a natural fit for the personalized, high-touch approach that we successfully employ at ReCreation.
