About Mickey trent
PLACING EXCEPTIONAL EXECUTIVES WITH HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS NATIONWIDE
Working in two nationally recognized healthcare organizations prepared me well for launching my executive search firm 20+ years ago.
Having been “in the weeds” representing Vanderbilt University Medical Center for five years and Saint Thomas Hospital for seven years, I have a thorough knowledge of healthcare operations and an instinct for matching candidates with clients successfully.
TESTIMONIALS
We were extremely pleased with our work with Mickey Trent. She was very attentive in hearing what the COO and I were looking for and asked relevant questions during the conversation. We felt that she had a solid picture of what we were looking for in a candidate by the end of our call. She provided a thorough summary of the candidates and was also very honest with her assessment of the positives and potential concerns with each candidate. She was available whenever we needed her whether she was on vacation, or it was the weekend or evening. There was no downtime. She is extremely motivated to provide excellent candidates and service to her customers. She is honest with her assessments and built trust with us knowing that she would not promote a candidate if they did merit consideration. She was there to find the perfect match and not to sell us a candidate. I recommended her to our CEO for another position and she has continued to interact with the same integrity and consistency with her communication.
Carole HoffmanVP of Human Resources, HCA Parkridge Medical Center
I have worked with Mickey Trent for over 20 years. She has experience in hospital operations and a “hands on” understanding of the various roles and responsibilities of healthcare executive leaders. In addition, I have used her consulting skills to set up a recruiting function in a large tertiary healthcare care center. She is a seasoned healthcare recruiter with a proven track record of filling critical hospital leadership positions. Highly recommend her!
Michael CassityVP Human Resources, HCA TriStar Division
Mickey is the consummate professional not only through her knowledge of the healthcare industry needs, but as a person who cares about both the organization she is working with and the individual she is recruiting. That is the difference maker when working with Mickey. I had the pleasure of being recruited by Mickey and her ability to understand my goals and match them with the organization’s goals was the key to a successful partnership.
James J. Tarasovitch Chief Financial Officer South Region, Ascension Wisconsin
I would absolutely recommend Mickey Trent. She provides qualified candidates quickly. She understood the search criteria, presented candidates who were a match and responded timely to any communication. She did a great job.
Eileen ChoateSenior Director, Executive Talent Acquisition Ascension

Michael WiechartExecutive VP & COO at TEAMHealth
I met Mickey in the late summer of 2011. Mickey helped me transition from a for-profit hospital COO role to COO of Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital in Nashville. Mickey owned my transition and relocation personally and made certain everything went smoothly. I found working with Mickey to be effective and enjoyable. I also found her to be professional and credible. Because of this personal experience, I began using Mickey Trent and Associates for my executive search needs. Nearly nine years later, Mickey Trent and Associates continues to provide top level executive search for me and many other Ascension executives with concierge level service.
