Life sciences recruiting model

We never start from zero.


We recruit life sciences only. We never leave it.

No learning curve. No jumping between industries.

We call it clustering: 17 functions, recruited every day.

Deeper networks. Sharper market knowledge. A head start on every search.

How clustering works

The first 10 days

  1. Hour 48
    100 profiles identified

    Drawn from a network we have spent years building in life sciences, then filtered by our specialists.

  2. Day 5
    Strategy checkpoint

    Early responses show what the market thinks of the role. If compensation, location or the brief is off, we tell you in week one.

  3. Day 10
    Shortlist delivered

    About 5 qualified candidates, plus 2 to 3 backups. We don't pad the list to hit a number.

Life sciences recruitment specialties

17 life sciences functions. 17 separate markets.


Different talent. Different compensation. One constant: we are already recruiting in every one.
