Brief & market map

Every search starts with a proper conversation about what success looks like, then a clear map of where those people actually are.

What happens

We spend time with you and the hiring team to understand the role behind the job description: the business problem it solves, the team it joins, the must-haves and nice-to-haves, and what would make someone succeed in their first year.

Just as important is understanding your value proposition: what makes your organisation and this opportunity compelling, from the science and pipeline to the culture, growth prospects and reward. That gives us a clear, honest story to take to the market, so the right people engage from the very first conversation.

From there we build a target map: the companies, consultancies and teams where the right people are likely to be today, including adjacent firms and talent pools you may not have considered. You see the map before we approach anyone, so we agree the hunting ground together.

20+Industry expertise20 years analysing the competitive landscape. We know the pharma companies, biotechs and consultancies, who competes with whom, and where the strongest people sit.
