Success Stories in Bio

The Challenge

Our client - one of the fastest-growing cell therapy biotechs globally - had groundbreaking science and strong funding. But to sustain their momentum, they needed to scale quickly and hire the right talent.

The Solution

We partnered closely with their internal TA team to tackle their most critical and challenging searches. This included making key leadership hires such as their CMO and CSO - roles that would shape the company’s future growth.

The Impact

The company scaled from 200 to 1,500+ employees in the US in record time - all while maintaining a high retention rate. Together, we helped them build entirely new functions in automation, manufacturing, and commercial - laying the foundation for continued success.

A Key Metric

From Series A to a

From Series A to a

$500M+ Company
The Challenge

Our client - an early-stage, preclinical biotech - needed to evolve into a clinical-stage company with a broad, multi-therapy pipeline (over years). The goal: scale smartly and strategically, with cash flow always in focus.

The Solution

We became their one-stop recruitment partner - streamlining hiring across all functions and levels, so they could stay lean while building the right leadership and operational foundations.

The Impact

We delivered across critical roles, including: VP of Intellectual Property, Sr. Director of Business Development, VP of Investor Relations, Director of Alliance Management, and more. Our partnership helped position them as a $500M+ biotech with a robust pipeline and an investor-ready leadership team.

"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare."

The Challenge

Our client - a 1,000+ person biotech - underwent a major strategic pivot, shifting focus to new therapeutic areas. The transition required a 40% workforce reduction. Yet despite the layoffs, key hires were still essential to drive the company’s new direction.

The Solution

We became their exclusive partner for highly targeted searches - particularly in competitive areas like computational research, where they needed to quickly close capability gaps.

The Impact

We delivered niche, hard-to-find talent with precision and care. Each search was run confidentially and with sensitivity, mindful of the company’s recent changes and internal dynamics. Our work helped them rebuild critical functions and regain competitive footing in their new therapeutic space.
