On-Demand Partnership

Continuous recruitment intelligence and delivery
- a scalable partnership model for evolving Life Sciences organizations.

A search partner on subscription

When hiring needs fluctuate, project-based retainers can slow momentum.

Our On-Demand Partnership model offers continuous access to senior-level search capability – without restarting the process each time a new role opens.

This is the model preferred by high-growth Biotechs, CDMOs, CROs, and investors who need agility, transparency, and data continuity across multiple hires.

Consistent delivery

We operate as an embedded extension of your leadership team - continuously sourcing, screening, and advising.

Flexible scope

Switch focus between roles or functions as priorities evolve, without new contracts or delays.

Research continuity

Each month builds on the last - market maps, candidate intelligence, and outreach data compound over time.

Predictable investment

Fixed monthly fee, all-inclusive of research, outreach, and reporting.

Faster speed-to-hire

Immediate access to existing pipelines and pre-qualified candidate networks.

Strategic insight

Monthly market updates and leadership analytics inform future decisions.

Where this works best

  • Scaling Biotechs hiring across multiple disciplines simultaneously

  • CDMOs/CROs building new service divisions or expanding capacity

  • Investor-backed portfolios seeking centralized recruitment capability

  • Companies entering new global markets or therapeutic areas

What the partnership includes

Each On-Demand Partnership runs on a monthly cadence with defined deliverables.

 Typical inclusions:

  • Market research and candidate mapping for up to three live roles

  • Weekly pipeline updates and analytics

  • Talent insights report each month (market activity, competitor hiring, salary benchmarks)

  • Candidate evaluation and coordination through to offer stage

  • Access to our market intelligence library and advisory support
