About Us
More Than Four Decades of Helping Healthcare Organizations Build Stronger Teams
Healthcare Recruiting and Executive Search Across Missouri, Kansas, and the Midwest
For more than four decades, The AGA Group has partnered with hospitals, dental practices, physician groups, and healthcare organizations to help build strong teams through thoughtful recruiting and executive search.
How We Work
Every search begins with understanding the organization, the role, and the people behind it. We invest time upfront because thoughtful preparation leads to stronger hiring decisions.
We communicate openly throughout the search, present candidates with care, and remain engaged through the interview, offer, and onboarding process.
The Value of a Thoughtful Search
Every organization deserves more than a stack of resumes.
We believe successful searches begin with understanding the people, culture, and objectives behind the position. That foundation allows every conversation, interview, and recommendation to be made with greater clarity and purpose.
Rather than measuring success by the number of candidates presented, we measure success by helping organizations make hiring decisions with confidence.
Examples From Recent Searches
A Kansas medical group needed a practice manager with leadership presence. One after-hours call from Greg led to a hire that boosted morale and aligned operations.
A clinic passed on our services to save on fees. Two months later, the candidate they hired didn’t work out. After reengaging us, their ideal CFO was hired in 40 days—and remains a key leader two years later.
A Missouri dental clinic needed a new practice leader. Within 23 days, our candidate helped boost patient throughput by 17%.
A behavioral health clinic’s high turnover was solved when we redefined the role—and tripled retention.
The Philosophy That Drives Us
Greg Ikner has spent more than four decades helping healthcare organizations make thoughtful hiring decisions. Throughout his career, one belief has remained constant: recruiting is about understanding people before presenting candidates.
“Every successful search begins by understanding the role, the organization, and the people behind it. The résumé comes later.”
