confidential search for life science leaders

Life sciences executive recruitment in Switzerland and EU

why hiring at the top is so hard to get right

Landing a smart, driven leader in life sciences comes with a unique set of challenges.

The people who’d be right for the role are already employed and not replying to recruiter emails. The firms that can reach them charge a large fee tied to their name, and they tend to return to the same familiar candidates while sharper, rising leaders go unseen. On top of that, these roles are sensitive, so you often can’t advertise them at all.

headcount works differently. We’re already in conversation with the leaders you’re looking for, we protect every search with strict confidentiality, and you pay for the person we find, not for a brand name on the invoice.

how the search process works

01

Pressure-testing the brief

Before we contact anyone, we dig into the role and the reasons behind it to help you refine it. Senior hires go wrong when the search chases a title instead of what the team needs on a deeper level.

02

Reaching the right leaders

The leaders who’d suit the role are often settled and not job hunting, but they take our call because a strong relationship is already there.

03

A confidential shortlist

Every candidate signs an NDA before a single detail leaves the room. You get a short list of leaders who fit, handled with the discretion the role calls for.

04

Support through the placement

From briefing both sides to guiding the offer, we stay involved and check in once they’re in the role, because a leadership hire only works if it lasts.
