About Us

Experience: I joined Management Recruiters of Elgin, Inc. in November of 2006, but have been part of the MRI family since 2000. Over the past 7 years I have had the opportunity to partner with world class organizations in helping them attract and hire top talent at all levels of their organization.

Prior to joining MR Elgin, I worked with The McHenry Group which is also part of the MRI Network and the Federal Bureau of Prisons. With The McHenry group I was a 5 time Pacesetter winner and achieved my CSAM status. While with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, I guarded the US from bad people. I have a B.S. in Criminal Justice from Winona State University and a minor in Marketing.

People I Recruit: I focus on all aspects of the healthcare market with a focus in hospital settings. I work with my partners to meet their needs at all levels. Some of the roles I have helped facilities identify top talent for include: VP of Quality, Director of Purchasing, Director of Supply Chain, Therapy, Nursing, IT, Consulting, and many other clinical areas.

Philosophy: I don't want to be a "necessary evil" to the people I work with. Rather I want to be a value creating partner that is dedicated to helping you and your team meet your hiring goals and beyond. When a need arises or you're faced with a critical hire I want to be known as the person that won't quit recruiting until that role is filled and look at all those situations as a personal challenge.

Nick, Practice Manager in New York

It is my pleasure to recommend Nate Skow as a professional healthcare recruiter. I am a RN who has been a Nursing Director for over 25 years, and I came to know Nate when I was looking for a new position as an Emergency Department Director. For two months I was working with another recruiter unsuccessfully, and decided that I needed a new group of recruiters. Searching through the internet I found Nate and his coworkers.
Within one week Nate had options for me, and he kept me up to date as to the progress of his search for me. He arranged for phone interviews with the CNO's from the facilities, and made sure that I had all of the information I needed to review well in advance of the interviews. Nate made sure that the interviews were not back to back, and that there was time to reflect upon the opportunities being presented.
Nate was excellent in his communication skills which were greatly appreciated by me, and I am sure by the hospitals in which we were involved. When it came time to make decisions helped me sort through the process, and helped me make that final decision. That decision came at a cost for Nate, because I accepted a position that had been presented to me by a coworker of his. My first choice was with a company that Nate had presented to me, however they were taking too much time, and Nate was working very hard for me to get them to make their decision timely. In the end he advised me to not let the offer lapse from the other facility, and worked with the other recruiter to end my search.
If I would ever need or want to again look for a new position, I would not hesitate to call Nate, and utilize his expertise in healthcare recruiting. His goal is to make sure that you are satisfied in your career goals, and to find the right match for both you, and the company.
