Respect

Mutual respect between valued partners: clients and candidates alike. We recognize that our greatest strengths are the positive relationships we build with the people we serve. This is the foundation of all greatness we’ll be building together!

John Dalton

CEO/Founder

Meet John Dalton

John’s career took off more than 29 years ago with medical staffing, executive and physician recruiting, and detoured into professional sales management and national sales training. With the launch of his own organization, he has come full circle back to recruiting, staffing, and sales training and consulting. His business development skills and sales techniques have propelled many local, regional, and national healthcare companies to prominence, and his immersion in the turbulent healthcare industry of Southeast Florida has made him a sought-after resource on all things healthcare and sales-related by his peers and clients alike.

John’s magic stems from his innate ability to connect with people, and know which people to connect with one another. His sharp intuition and long-term strategic thinking help him craft solutions to problems his clients don’t even know they have.

A selfless, motivating force of nature, John believes that helping others ultimately results in personal and professional fulfillment. Mentoring others and guiding them to success is the best payoff there is. That plus a day on the water and a big fish on the line!

Meet our team

Galen Bechtold

VP of Recruiting

If you ever needed to find a decent, honorable, dedicated person, you would have to start by talking to Galen.  Throughout his career he has always put himself at the center of the organizations he has worked with no matter if it was the commercial agriculture industry or recruiting and staffing industry.

Never have we ever met a kinder, more genuine person, and his interactions with the many candidates he has helped propel forward have always come from a true desire to serve.  As a client working with Galen during a search for the perfect candidate, you know that his patience is endless, and he has the tenacity of a long-distance runner focused on the goal of finding that right candidate.

Galen’s devotion to Optimum RTS and our clients is only matched by his devotion to his beautiful wife, family and church. When Galen isn’t working you will find him working in his garden around his house or riding his bike behind his wife as she jogs.

Ed Gruvman

Public Relations Liaison

Being one of the most recognizable faces in Palm Beach County’s networking and marketing community, Ed’s decision to join our team was fortunate for everyone.

Ed is known to all as one of the nicest people you will ever meet, and he spends his days helping others and giving back to our community.  He does this in many ways, such as mentoring under-privileged children, assisting seniors, leading committees for the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, and so many more.

When Ed isn’t spreading the word about Optimum RTS and helping worthy organizations you will find him spending time with his lovely wife, children and grandchildren.

Susan Molke

Senior Recruiter

I have always believed that the “World Gives You What You Need When You Need It” and that is exactly how Susan came into my life.

Susan has spent her career working in the recruiting industry on both the agency and corporate side and has a clear understanding of what it takes to move a candidate through our screening process to presenting them to our clients with efficiency and professionalism.  In her past positions she has focused mainly on non-medical positions and now with Optimum RTS she has brought new ideas and ways of moving the ball forward in our ever-so- turbulent industry.

Miles McGrath

VP of Professional Services

When I first met Miles in early 2023, he immediately struck me as someone filled with confidence, poise, and—most importantly—values that closely mirrored my own. He wasn’t just willing to help others; he genuinely wanted to.

When I first met Miles in early 2023, he immediately struck me as someone filled with confidence, poise, and—most importantly—values that closely mirrored my own. He wasn’t just willing to help others; he genuinely wanted to. As we spent more time together, I realized just how much we had in common. He is honest, he treats everyone with respect regardless of their differences, and he truly listens to his clients. Miles takes the time to understand their needs and then works tirelessly to find the right solutions.

As we became closer friends and colleagues, it became clear that he belonged on the Optimum RTS team. I’m honored that he agreed. Today, Miles serves as our Vice President of Professional Development, playing a major role in our daily operations, client relationships, sales, professional training, and overall client and employee satisfaction.

And if you asked Miles what his official title should be, he’d tell you with a smile: “CSO — Chief Smile Officer.”
