Max Mello, PA-C
Max is a physician assistant who has worked in orthopedic spine surgery, cardiac electrophysiology, emergency medicine and post-acute care, and still practices. Since October 2023 he has also been Director of Physician and APP Recruitment at Voll Recruiting, where he recruits physicians, PAs, NPs and CRNAs for practices, hospitals and specialty groups.
That mix is the point of his coaching. He has worked under the kinds of schedules, supervision arrangements and pay structures his clients are weighing, and he sees how employers build and negotiate offers from the other side.

From candidates
“Maxwell is an outstanding recruiter and the best I've had the pleasure of working with! He is transparent, professional, and has a deep understanding of the roles and responsibilities of healthcare providers. Having a recruiter who is also a practitioner makes a huge difference.”
“Maxwell was an excellent recruiter to work with and played a significant role in helping me secure my first PA position while I was still in school. As someone going through my first PA recruitment process, I really appreciated his guidance, insight into the role, and willingness to advocate for me throughout the process.”
