Three ways to engage. One standard of quality.
We work exclusively in Life Sciences, MedTech and Healthcare — deeper networks, faster shortlists, and candidates who understand your world.
Contingency Search
The right hire. Zero upfront risk.
No placement, no fee. Our incentive is perfectly aligned with yours — we do not send volume. Every candidate we present is pre-qualified against your brief, your culture, and the realities of your market. You only commit when we deliver.
Best For
Single critical hires, mid-to-senior individual contributors, time-sensitive placements.
Typical Roles
QC Analysts & Managers, Microbiologists, CMC Specialists, Regulatory Affairs, Clinical Operations Leads, Medical Science Liaisons, Commercial Directors.
Retained Search
Exclusive. Exhaustive. Guaranteed.
When the stakes are high and discretion matters, retained search is the right model. Exclusivity means undivided focus — a thorough market map, proactive engagement of passive talent, and a rigorous process that does not cut corners. Fees structured across three milestones.
