Frequently asked

Common questions, answered plainly.

Do you work pre-clinical biotech?
Yes. A meaningful portion of our work is with seed and Series A sponsors building first key hires — VP R&D, founding CMO, first commercial. Discovery-only sponsors are also clients.
Can you handle gene/cell therapy hiring?
Yes. We have specific relationships in cell therapy CMC, gene therapy clinical operations, and commercial leaders who've launched advanced therapies. The candidate pool is small; warm relationships matter.
Do you work with large pharma?
Yes. Established pharma TA leaders engage us for niche, hard-to-fill roles where their internal team needs specialty support — typically medical affairs, market access, or function-specific leadership.
How do you handle therapeutic-area depth?
Every search is matched to a recruiter with TA-specific pattern recognition. Oncology, rare disease, CNS, immunology, cardiometabolic, and infectious disease all have dedicated leads on the team.
