Scaling a fast-growing biotech startup

Building a world-class team, fast

An early-stage European AI-biotech came to us with a massive challenge: build a world-class team, fast. With major investment from VC and pharma on the horizon, there was no time to lose. Starting almost from scratch, we designed and delivered a hiring strategy that supported explosive growth. Our fully embedded team worked in a hybrid on-site and remote model, partnering closely with internal stakeholders to ensure not only the right volume of hires, but the right cultural fit for long-term success.

Improving retention in a competitive market

Embedded executive search across Europe

A leading life science strategy consultancy needed to hire senior-level consultants across the UK, Germany and France. With a niche skillset, a limited candidate pool, and a highly competitive market, a traditional hiring approach wasn't going to cut it. We built a fully embedded, in-house executive search function, combining the quality of retained executive search with the cultural awareness, agility and trust of an internal function.
