About this category
54 of the Talent 100 honorees in the Class of 2026 belong to Healthcare & Life Sciences. They lead talent and recruiting work at organizations including Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson, Activated Insights, ArchCare, and Bayer. Each profile covers how they got into recruiting, how their team hires today, and what they think is changing about the work.
Honorees are selected through a dual-path process: about half are nominated directly by fellow people and recruiting leaders, and the rest by selection committees of senior talent practitioners and industry advisors who seek out leaders who may be under-recognized. Nominations are free and selection is based on merit. See the Talent 100 overview for the full process, or browse every honoree A to Z.
