## Summary

Mitch Robbins, founder and managing director at The Anthony Michael Group, joins host John Spear to discuss the surging demand for regulatory and quality professionals in the medical device industry. Robbins attributes this demand to the rollout of EU MDR, hypergrowth in digital health, an aging population, and a surge in medical technology startups. He advises employers to evolve their hiring practices by focusing on employer value propositions and mission alignment rather than relying on traditional job descriptions, noting that top talent prioritizes meaningful work over compensation.
