Our Work 

in R&D

We help life sciences companies hire R&D specialists across discovery, preclinical, and product development stages — scientists who bring expertise, creativity, and a commitment to advancing patient care.

Get in Touch

Our focus is on professionals with the expertise and adaptability to thrive in complex, fast-paced research environments — helping you turn scientific potential into measurable progress.

Support Across the R&D Sector

From drug discovery to bench-to-bedside innovation, we represent experts across the full R&D spectrum. Below are some of the key areas where our hiring expertise adds value.

We partner with microbiologists and molecular biology specialists who support advanced research in pathogen biology, genetic engineering, and therapeutic development.

As protein-based therapeutics continue to transform biopharma, we help organisations hire protein chemists driving progress in structure analysis, formulation, and biologics design.

We connect companies with biochemists skilled in studying the molecular effects of new drugs and therapies — supporting innovation throughout the development pipeline.

Our network includes pharmacologists specialising in both in vitro and in vivo research, providing vital expertise across drug design, absorption, metabolism, and efficacy testing.

We help organisations bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and clinical application — placing translational scientists who accelerate the delivery of new treatments to patients.

With nearly four decades of experience in life sciences, we provide tailored recruitment, executive search, marketing, and people strategy services to help R&D teams build the strong talent foundations they need for success.
