Contract, Consulting & Fractional Support

We place contractors, consultants, and fractional leaders so life sciences teams can add targeted expertise without creating a full-time role.

When this model fits

• The work is tied to a project, milestone, remediation, tech transfer, launch, or inspection window.
• You need specialized skills that do not justify a standing full-time hire.
• A function needs senior guidance, but not a full-time leader.
• An existing team needs added capacity without a new permanent requisition.
• You want to start with a contractor or consultant and convert later if the role becomes ongoing.

How we staff the work

Contractors and consultants
We place experienced professionals who can join an assignment and contribute quickly. This is often the right path for quality, regulatory, clinical, manufacturing, validation, medical affairs, and related functions when the need is project-based.

Fractional leadership
Some organizations need a Quality leader, Regulatory lead, Clinical Operations lead, or similar function owner without adding a full-time executive. A fractional leader can set direction, coach the team, support inspections or submissions, and stay involved as the work requires.

Fractional team members
The same model works below the leadership level. A fractional specialist can support a function part of the time, fill a skill gap, or stay connected to a program without joining as a full-time employee.

Contract-to-hire
Start with a contractor, consultant, or fractional professional when the long-term need is still taking shape. If the role should become permanent, we can support conversion to a direct hire.

Payroll and administration
Talent can sit on GForce payroll, or we can support Employer of Record arrangements when you already have people identified and need payroll, benefits, insurance, and invoicing handled in one place. See our Employer of Record (EoR) services.

What you can expect

• Search focused on life sciences functions, not a general contractor list
• Clear agreement on scope, start date, and how the person will work with your team
• Room to extend, reduce, convert, or close out the assignment as priorities change
• One point of contact who understands both the work and the staffing model

This service works on its own. It also pairs with Functional Service Provider (FSP) support when you need an entire function staffed over time, and with CQV when the need is commissioning, qualification, and validation.

If the role should live on your payroll from day one, use our Direct Hire search. For senior retained searches, use Executive Search.
