The Life
Sciences practice of Sterling-Hoffman
was formed with a simple purpose:
help biotechnology, pharmaceutical &
medical device companies change the
world via acquisition of the best people
Pharmaceutical companies are under
tremendous pressure to uncover the next
blockbuster drug with pipelines drying
up and drug patents expiring. At the
same time, investors are demanding
profits NOW. The two conflicting forces
represent an immense challenge to the
industry. Meanwhile, venture capital is
flowing into Biotechnology companies
like never before, in an attempt to meet
the desperate need for new drugs brought
on by an aging baby-boomer population
worldwide. This aging population is also
adding to the demand for medical
devices. Yet the long FDA approval
process and the high cost of R&D are
causing significant barriers to market
entry. Vital to the ecosystem, Contract
Research Organizations are struggling to
hire people willing to take on the
grueling travel and long hours required
to ensure that clinical trials go
smoothly.
Established in 2004, our Life Sciences
practice provides executive search and
recruitment services to the CRO,
Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals & Medical
Device markets. With over 200
recruitment & research professionals
worldwide and offices located in Silicon
Valley, Chicago, Raleigh, Boston,
Williamsville, and Toronto - as well as
a long history of serving venture
capital firms and their portfolio
companies, our firm is quickly emerging
as the premier recruitment & clinical
staffing firm in the Life Sciences
arena.
Sterling-Hoffman Life Sciences prides
itself on delivering three specific
advantages to our clients: Domain
Expertise, Speed vs Size, and North
American-wide reach.
Domain
Expertise
The Recruitment Specialists at
Sterling-Hoffman Life Sciences
understand these challenges in a way
that the majority of firms simply do
not. As a result, we are able to
secure the trust and respect of the
very best candidates in the
industry.
Speed via
Size
The typical recruitment firm may
dedicate only 1-2 recruiters to a
project, hoping that a quick review of
their active rolodex will yield a few
candidates worth presenting to a client.
They want you to hire the candidates
they have right now – because they don’t
have the time to actively source new
talent on your behalf. As a result, the
average firm can take weeks or months
before delivering on an urgent search
requirement.
Sterling-Hoffman has over 200 employees,
and can dedicate a large team of up to
12 Researchers & Recruiters to every
single client we accept on a retained
basis - ensuring that every possible
stone is turned over in the shortest
amount of time, thereby introducing you
to great candidates within only a week
of beginning the project.
North
American Reach
Life Sciences companies need access to
the best people – not just the best
people who happen to live close by. Not
to mention that clinical trials seldom
take place in just one city.
Sterling-Hoffman Life Sciences has the
capability to recruit talent in every
major city in North America. Our firm
boasts offices in the major
Biotechnology hubs, and offers video
conferencing capability that allows for
candidates to be interviewed anywhere,
anytime.
