Scientific
Specialist recruitment for life sciences, medical devices, nanotechnology, and clean tech.
Scientific recruitment takes a different kind of expertise. The roles are specialised, the regulatory requirements are tight, and the talent pool is small. We work with businesses across life sciences, medical devices, nanotechnology, and clean tech. Our clients range from early-stage start-ups through to established global pharma, and we find them the scientists, engineers, and technical leaders who'll move their work forward.

How we work
Recruitment Built Around Your Business
Scientific hires reward patience and rigour. Most of our work here is partnership-based rather than contingent, structured around the kind of qualification work that scientific roles actually need.
On-site immersion to understand your research focus and operational setting, the regulatory environment you're working within, and the specific scientific capability the role needs to deliver.
Targeted search across our scientific networks, with talent mapping and direct outreach into the specialist publications and academic communities where the strongest candidates actually sit. We focus on the right scientific depth and the right operational fit for your environment, not on volume.
Structured screening to confirm scientific capability, regulatory awareness, and the cultural fit that determines whether someone will thrive in your environment.
A focused shortlist of three to five benchmarked candidates, with the context you need to choose between them.
End-to-end involvement through interview, offer, and onboarding. Scientific hires often involve relocation, notice periods, and family considerations that can derail a placement at the last minute, and we stay close throughout to keep things on track.
