Life Sciences, Biotechnology & Pharma

We recruit across the life sciences function, from the lab bench through to GMP production. Our clients are pharmaceutical companies, biotech start-ups, and the research-led businesses doing genuinely important work in drug discovery, cell therapy, and the wider therapeutics pipeline.

Our Approach

Our life sciences consultants stay in this sector rather than dipping in from general scientific recruitment. They know the difference between a scientist with discovery experience and one whose career has been in development, and why that distinction shapes the right brief. They understand why a QC specialist from one therapeutic area might pick up another quickly, and why a manufacturing scientist from small-molecule production might struggle in cell and gene therapy without specific support. That depth of specialism is what we bring to every brief, and it’s why so much of our work here is repeat business.

How We Work

We work across permanent, contract, and interim briefs in life sciences and pharma, and we’ll always give you a straight read on the role – whether the salary band is competitive in this market, where the spec might benefit from refining, and which type of hire fits the situation if you want our take. Permanent hires usually make most sense for the scientists, engineers, and leaders who’ll build long-term R&D or production capability. Contract or interim works well for defined research programmes, clinical milestones, regulatory submissions, and periods of operational change. Plenty of our clients run both.
