About Us
SRP Partners is a medical device sales recruiting firm built on a simple idea: the person who wins your search should be the person who runs it. For more than two decades we’ve placed commercial talent — field sales, clinical specialists, and sales leadership — at companies including Barrx Medical, SI-Bone, and Medtronic InterStim. Today the firm is led by Austin Pelton, son of founder Scott Pelton, and continues the sales-first philosophy Scott brought with him from U.S. Surgical Corporation.
Built for the Speed Medtech Hiring Requires
Our team combines deep commercial medical device experience with modern, AI-driven sourcing. Austin Pelton runs every client relationship personally — from intake through offer — backed by a dedicated sourcing and recruiting team. The result is a search firm that moves at the speed medtech hiring actually requires, with the judgment and industry knowledge that comes from two decades placing sales talent in this space.
The People Behind Your Search
Austin took over as President of SRP Partners in February 2022, continuing the firm his father, Scott Pelton, built. In his first year running SRP, he was named Rookie of the Year by the First Interview Recruitment Network. The same year, the firm earned the Network’s $4 Million Total Network Placement Award. Austin has since modernized how SRP operates: AI-driven sourcing, an expanded team, and a process built for the speed modern medtech hiring demands. He runs the client relationship and closes every placement personally. Austin has also served private equity firms on executive search retainers, placing four C-suite and Director-level roles across Boyne Capital portfolio companies.

How SRP Partners Was Built
SRP Partners was founded in 2004 by Scott Pelton. His medical device career began at Boundary Healthcare and then U.S. Surgical Corporation under Leon Hirsch, where he rose to Regional Sales Manager. He later served as Eastern Area VP of Sales for gynecology devices at Imagyn Medical Technologies before moving to the recruiting side of the business.
What became SRP Partners was built on the commercial discipline Scott learned at USSC: rigorous rep training, tight territory management, and a hiring standard that wouldn’t bend for a warm body. Over the following two decades, Scott’s firm built out commercial teams at companies including Barrx Medical, SI-Bone, and Medtronic InterStim. The firm he built continues today under his son, Austin Pelton.
