Our Process

From brief to breakthrough hire — here is how we do it.

01

Briefing Call

We deep-dive into your role, your team, your culture, and your non-negotiables before we approach a single candidate.

02

Bespoke Search Strategy

We design a search strategy specific to this role — including channels, messaging, target companies, and target profiles.

03

Candidate Sourcing & Screening

We activate our network, conduct outreach, and screen every candidate against your scorecard before you see a single CV.

04

Shortlist Presentation

You receive a curated shortlist of candidates — with detailed profiles, our assessment notes, and a recommendation on who to meet first.

05

Interview Management

We coordinate every stage — scheduling, feedback, debrief facilitation, and candidate management throughout the process.

06

Offer & Onboarding

We manage the offer stage, support counter-offer situations, and stay involved through onboarding to ensure a successful start.

Why It Works

We'll find the scientific superstars to turn your ideas into reality.

After relying on personal and professional networks for your initial hires, you find yourself running out of options — staring at an empty page wondering where to even start in building an effective recruiting funnel.

That's exactly where we come in. Our process is built around the realities of Life Sciences start-up hiring — where roles are niche, talent is scarce, and every day a seat is empty costs you momentum.

We are not just a recruitment agency. We are the hiring infrastructure your start-up never had — and always needed.
