What Is Our Life Sciences Recruiting Process
At TKG, we’ve designed our life sciences recruitment process to be structured and efficient. Typical searches move from brief to offer in 3 to 6 weeks, depending on seniority and market conditions.
- We start with a deep intake call to understand the role, the team, and the culture, not just the job description. We want to know your must-haves, nice-to-haves, compensation budget, and timeline.
- Next, we tap our network, proprietary database, referrals, and targeted outreach to build a slate of candidates, including passive talent you won’t find on job boards.
- We conduct rigorous interviews covering technical competence, regulatory knowledge, communication, and cultural fit, then present a shortlist of the strongest candidates.
- We coordinate interviews, manage scheduling, prep your team, and gather feedback. We also keep candidates engaged and informed so top talent doesn’t go cold while you deliberate.
- When it’s time to make an offer, we advise you on market-competitive offers, manage negotiations on your behalf, and help close the candidate.
- Our support doesn’t end at acceptance. We check in through the first 90 days to ensure smooth onboarding and reduce early attrition risk.

FAQs
- What positions do life sciences recruiters fill?
Life sciences recruiters fill roles across the entire industry, from bench-level scientists to C-suite executives. Common placements include IT, scientists, sales, sales management, marketing, and executive roles with organizations in molecular, point-of-care, oncology, infectious disease, and CRISPR. - Should I hire a life sciences recruiter?
It depends on your situation. If you’re filling a straightforward, entry-level role, you may not need one. However, hiring a life sciences recruiter makes sense when the role is hard to fill, you’re scaling quickly, you’re hiring senior or executive talent, or you don’t have internal recruiting capacity. - What are the benefits of hiring a life sciences recruiting agency?
Hiring a life sciences staffing agency helps you fill roles faster and find better candidates. A generalist recruiter might overwhelm you with mismatched resumes, but life sciences specialists match you with stronger candidates with the niche skills needed for the role. Our recruiters understand competitive salary ranges, counteroffer dynamics, and candidate scarcity so you can make competitive offers without overpaying. Life sciences recruiting agencies like TKG can also help you tap into passive talent to find scientists and leaders who aren’t actively searching.
