Frontera Search Partners hires Josh Ahlberg to lead its Business Development and Recruiting Teams
Dallas, TX, June 5, 2025 – Frontera Search Partners, a leading healthcare staffing firm, is proud to announce its continued expansion and investment in the Locum Tenens space. Locum tenens and healthcare veteran, Josh Ahlberg, has joined the organization as its new Director of Business Development to lead the locum tenens sales and recruitment teams. As a member of the leadership team, he is tasked with building new relationships that expand Frontera’s nationwide presence.
“As Frontera’s impact and influence in healthcare staffing continued to grow, it became natural for us to bring in an adept locum tenens expert who could scale our business development and recruitment initiatives,” said Frontera Co-Founder and Managing Director Jody Talbert. “Josh’s healthcare acumen, collaborative approach, and partner-first mentality made him the perfect fit for us.”
In his role as Director of Business Development, Ahlberg will be a leading voice in the company’s growth strategy, bringing expanded focus to its Commercial Locum Tenens division, which serves partners in hospitals, clinics, community health centers, government and veteran services, and more. Along with leading the Business Development group, he’ll also oversee the locums recruitment team, prioritizing process improvement, new talent sourcing strategies, and the end-to-end recruitment experience for clinicians.
“In my career, I’ve been lucky to get to experience enough cultures and teams to know the real deal,” said Josh Ahlberg. “The Frontera team stands out. They see the possibilities—and improvement areas—in healthcare staffing and they approach them with collaboration, candor, and innovation. I feel proud to join them on the journey of being changemakers in our industry and true value-add partners for our clients.”
