Direct Hire Recruiting

Permanent talent for roles that belong on your team

Direct Hire

We recruit full-time professionals for biotech, pharma, and medical device organizations and place them directly onto your payroll when the role belongs on your team.

When this model fits

  • The work is ongoing, not tied to a single project or milestone.
  • You want the employee on your benefits, systems, and culture from day one.
  • Retention and institutional knowledge matter more than short-term flexibility.
  • Internal posting or general recruiters have not produced the right people.
  • The hire is important, but it is not a retained leadership search.

How we work with you

Role definition
We start with the work that has to get done, the team the person will join, and the experience that actually matters in this function. That keeps the search focused and shortens the interview cycle.

Targeted search
Most of the people you want are already working. We use our life sciences network to reach professionals who fit the role, the regulated environment, and the stage of your organization.

Screening and presentation
You see candidates who have been screened against the requirements, not a pile of resumes that only match keywords.

Offer through start
We stay involved through compensation conversations, notice periods, and first-day logistics so the hire does not stall after you decide.

How Direct Hire relates to our other services

Executive Search
Use Direct Hire for professional, specialist, manager, and director-level permanent roles. For vice president, C-level, and other leadership searches that need a retained process, use our Executive Search practice.

Contract, consulting, or fractional first
If the long-term need is still taking shape, start with contract, consulting, or fractional support. If the person should later join your payroll, we can support conversion to a direct hire.

RPO
If you want us to run a larger share of the hiring process across multiple roles, see Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO).

What you can expect

  • A search built for life sciences roles, not generic professional recruiting
  • Candidates who understand regulated work and the pace of your organization
  • A confidential process for both the company and the candidate
  • Clear communication from intake through start date

Direct hire is often the right path for quality, regulatory, clinical, manufacturing, supply chain, medical affairs, commercial, and technical roles that will remain after the current project ends.
