About

About the founder
Matthew Sorensen

Founder of SterileJobs.com. Fifteen-plus years in executive recruiting and talent acquisition, including a stint as a Vice President of Talent Acquisition, much of it spent building teams inside healthcare environments.

Why this board exists: sterile processing deserves a dedicated hiring resource. General job boards bury SPD roles among thousands of unrelated postings. SterileJobs.com was built to fix that, for everyone from entry-level SPD techs with no experience to department managers and CRCST-certified specialists.

Editorial standard

How the guides on this site are written

  1. Every career guide is written or reviewed by someone who has actually screened, interviewed, and hired candidates, not summarized from other job-board content.
  2. Certification pages reflect current requirements from the certifying bodies. When exam rules or eligibility change, the pages get updated.
  3. Pay ranges are presented as ranges tied to setting, shift, and region, because a single national number misleads more than it helps.
  4. Interview advice describes what hiring managers actually score on, including the things they never say out loud.
  5. If a claim can't be sourced or verified, it doesn't go on the page.
