What makes executive search in life sciences special is certainly the diversity of the positions. We are talking about a field that covers a wide range of medical devices, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Looking at the research and development departments in these sectors alone makes on thing clear: it does not get boring! Often it is also about finding candidates who have both industry expertise and the necessary "soft skills" for a position in management. That is a challenge!Each sea

Sometimes we get asked why we spend so much effort on articles like this one and all the other things we do in social networking on- and offline. Why we go to events like Biocom, MedTech Forum and and also happily organize our own events and what our LinkedIn, Twitter, Xing and Content Hubs are all about. Yes, it seems like a lot of work - and it is – but it ultimately leads to a certain visibility and recognition for the content we provide. Knowing your way around the industry is not worth much, as long as nobody knows about it.<sp

As a headhunter you always work as a middleman between two sides that don’t need to start out with having all too much in common. Especially in high-level positions it’s a delicate and sometimes lengthy process to find the right person for the job. It requires a great deal of consideration and also trust. From both sides. Obviously the “customer” that pays for the service of executive search is the one to satisfy but in the end the search is only entirely successful when both sides are happy. This is why we put particular emphasis on very positiv

As much as we love exploring all the fascinating possibilities of digital communication and social media, we still value meeting people face-to-face just as much. Even if we start a lot of conversations online, we like to pursue them further or finish them with an actual real-life interaction. Especially since we deal so much with fitting personalities into high-level positions, we need to get a really good sense of people. And not least, we simply like to meet new people and network.<span style="background-color: transpa

One of the reasons why it’s so exciting for us to work in Life Sciences is the fact that the industry is constantly in motion and exciting developments constantly create opportunities – not only for us.

A lot of the positions we’re filling in the Life Sciences industry are very challenging ones, often including high-level responsibilities. To match candidates to these job profiles can be a long and complicated process. Our experience shows that the complexity of the job profiles in this industry often calls for a more complex search. Somehow we thereby, almost without the concrete intention, advocate for change and diversity in the client’s company. How does that happen?Disr
