One of the best feelings in life sciences is helping bring a life-changing medicine to market and seeing the tremendous impact it has on patients’ lives. At ConnectedSearch, our life sciences search consultants are former industry/academic scientists who are passionate about the science behind the companies we work with and who are driven to help organizations find the best drug development talent to ultimately help transform patients’ lives. Our deep scientific and drug development expertise allow us to truly discern the differences in drug development talent, and that means a more effective and efficient search partnership.

As a life sciences Human Resources Professional or Hiring Manager, you have probably experienced some level of success filling roles through postings on job boards or your company web site. The question is: have you always found a top performer that way? Top performers produce 48% more than the average performing hire and, especially in small to mid-size firms, one below-average hire can be a big drain on productivity and disrupt the overall team dynamic. While postings and your web site allow you to filter through 60-80% of the active job seekers in the talent pool, what you miss out on are the talented but unaware passive job seekers working, heads down, at your competitors.  That’s where we can help and where we focus our recruiting efforts.

As a career-minded life sciences professional, you have probably received a number of calls pitching you on jobs that often are not close to what you do in your current role or want to do in your next career move. Not only do we actually understand what you do in great detail, we want to be a career resource for you. This means that while we may have a role in mind for you today, we realize it may not be the right fit for your specific career goals. We want to understand what your career goals are and what you truly want in your next position, be it a better commute, increased scope and responsibility, or a different corporate culture. Once we understand your career drivers, we can be an extra pair of eyes in the market, connecting you to the right opportunity when it comes up.
