Life Sciences recruitment & staffing solutions

Looking to build your team with top-notch Life Sciences talent? Michael Page has you covered. Partner with us to fill your key roles faster.

Top Life Sciences talent moves your business forward

Growing a Life Sciences business means finding specialist talent at every stage, from research through commercialization. As investment in the sector grows, so does the competition for people who can keep development on track and get new products to market faster.

The bar for that talent is rising too. It's not enough to find someone with strong scientific credentials; companies need candidates who can also navigate regulatory requirements and work across functions.

The specialists who can do this well are in short supply, and many aren't actively job hunting. That scarcity makes market knowledge, the right networks, and speed just as important as expertise when hiring.

Life sciences recruitment you can trust

We bring deep market knowledge to every search, along with insights into hiring trends, compensation expectations, and the challenges you're up against, so you can make hiring decisions with confidence instead of guesswork.

Our market awareness is only one part of the value we offer. Built from years of Life Sciences recruitment, our extensive candidate network gives us access to skilled, in-demand professionals, even those who aren't actively looking. We connect you with hard-to-reach talent and build a hiring strategy around your specific search, so projects keep moving and you secure your ideal employees.

Hiring for life sciences roles takes more than an eye for technical know-how. You need a clear view of how each function fits into the bigger picture, from early discovery through to commercial launch.

We bring that balance to every search. Our recruitment expertise spans discovery, pre-clinical research, clinical development, technical operations, regulatory affairs, quality, commercial, and project management. From the lab to the boardroom, we understand life sciences roles at every level and the people who succeed in them.

FAQs: Partnering with an experienced Life Sciences recruitment firm

Whether you've partnered with a recruitment firm before of not, you may have some questions about how Michael Page Life Sciences operates. Here are our responses to some of the most frequently asked questions we receive around our process, sourcing, delivery, and services.

Our Boston-based team have years of recruitment experience, so we have optimized the way we work to deliver the best results. We’re well-networked within the industry and are always connecting with the movers and shakers. Our MassBio membership also reflects our commitment to keeping our finger on the pulse of the industry as it evolves. Needless to say, we are well-versed in the ins and outs of hiring for roles across the full drug lifecycle, no matter how technical or niche. 
 

We pride ourselves on recruiting best-in-class talent at speed. When clients are responsive and collaborate with us effectively, we can complete the hiring process in as little as 5-10 working days.  

We have access to an exclusive database of locally-and globally based candidates that we have nurtured relationships with over the years through various stages of their careers within the Life Sciences industry. Most candidates in our database partner exclusively with us, trusting our relationships and expertise in presenting to them their next ideal career move – one that aligns with their experience and aspirations. Often, we are also introduced to stand-out professionals through referrals from our networks. Our brand also pulls its weight; last year alone, our website received traffic of 3.5M, with conversions in the form of applications to the jobs we advertise on behalf of our clients. 

That’s how we can source viable options at pace, often presenting 5 top candidates for science-focused roles and 10 for more commercial roles. At the interview stage, we find that clients identify the right match after speaking with 2-3 of those candidates presented. 
 

We first get to know you, your business, and understand the specifications of the open role. We prepare an extensive job brief and commit to a deadline for delivery of a candidate shortlist. Working closely with you, we identify and assess candidates who will proceed to the later stages of the hiring process and provide you with at least two references for each of them. 

You will have a dedicated manager assigned to your search who will have weekly meetings with you to drive the recruitment process forward. We find that this is particularly successful in reducing timelines, which is essential to keeping top-flight talent engaged in your process. Once we do get that ideal professional identified, we facilitate the offer stage. 

We stay connected once you’ve onboarded the candidate. We schedule follow-up calls with both our clients and candidates at the 30, 60, and 90-day marks. Beyond this period, our Client Relationship Director is dedicated to building long-term relationships through regular check-ins with our clients and candidates committing our support in meeting their needs.   

Hiring insights from our Life Sciences recruitment team

  • Demand for specialized Life Sciences talent is very high and many candidates are receiving both counteroffers and competing offers. As a result, the hiring process is becoming quicker and more efficient. We’re seeing many processes completed in just 2 to 4 weeks, and making a solid first offer has become essential. This is why our team makes such an excellent partner for any organization in this industry — we help to streamline the recruitment process and emphasize the competitive elements of your offer to top-flight talent.

    Steven Houben
    Executive Director, Life Sciences
  • In terms of competition for talent, this market is one of the most saturated. In Cambridge alone, there are several hundred biotech firms. Also, many professionals in this space have very strong networks, which makes recruiting them from the outside a challenge. This is where our own strong networks come into play and help our partners to attract that hard-to-reach top talent. Because we have colleagues and contacts at both the local and international level, we likely already have access to an organization’s ideal hire, and so can act quickly to complete a search in a matter of days.

    Daniel Ferzoco
    Associate Director, Life Sciences
