Frequently asked

Common questions, answered plainly.

Do you work with emerging biotech?
Yes — including pre-clinical and Phase I sponsors building their first clinical or regulatory hires. We've helped multiple sponsors build out clinical operations from one person to a full team.
Can you support hub-only searches?
Yes. We work the Boston, Bay Area, RTP, NJ Pharma Belt, and San Diego markets actively, plus remote-first searches nationally.
Are your fees retainer or contingent?
Both, depending on role criticality and seniority. VP-level and confidential searches are typically retained; individual contributor roles are usually contingent.
Do you help with comp calibration?
Yes. We share live data on comp ranges by function, level, and geography — and flag when an offer is below market before it goes out.
