National Pharmaceutical and Biotech Practice

The engine that drives the pharmaceutical and biotech industry is the talented pool of scientific and medical researchers who devote themselves to bringing life-saving drugs and devices to the market. Identifying and recruiting these clinical and scientific executives is one of the greatest challenges facing all life sciences organizations – whether they are large pharmaceutical companies, biotech and biopharma firms, medical device manufacturers, contract research organizations or diagnostics companies.

Our pharmaceutical and biotech practice team brings significant knowledge, experience and cultivated networks to these highly specialized searches. We are also deeply committed to identifying and presenting diverse slates of candidates to help our clients succeed now and into the future.
