Headhunting for Pharma, Healthcare & Life Science

A pharmaceutical project brings together people who “speak different languages”: chemists who design molecules, physicians who structure clinical trials, regulatory experts interpreting FDA and EMA guidelines, data scientists analysing results, and commercial teams planning the launch strategy. Every role in this sector requires the ability to connect those worlds.Recruiting in the pharmaceutical, medical and diagnostic industries means finding professionals who can build bridges: people with solid scientific expertise who can translate complexity, manage competing expectations, and hold together multidisciplinary teams over projects that last years.

To respond to this need, our headhunters rely on the Engage&Hire method and, as a result, on Collaborative Recruiting®. A specialised Pharma Scout evaluates the scientific side: technical skills, regulatory knowledge, understanding of approval pathways. The headhunter, on the other hand, focuses on the human side: transformational leadership, coaching ability, experience in managing cross-functional teams. In Pharma recruitment, technical expertise is essential — but it’s no longer enough on its own.
