About The Kleinbach Group

The Kleinbach Group was founded in 2006 by Lyn Kleinbach-Reilly with a simple belief: great recruiting is built on knowing the industry, knowing the people, and understanding what makes someone truly successful in a role.

For nearly two decades, TKG has specialized in clinical diagnostics and life sciences, connecting exceptional talent with companies ranging from emerging innovators to Fortune 500 organizations.

We recruit across Sales, Sales Leadership, Marketing, Scientific, and other critical functions through contingency, retained executive, and contract search engagements. Every search is tailored to the company, the role, and the business objectives behind the hire.

Our advantage comes from combining deep industry relationships and decades of recruiting experience with today's AI-enabled market intelligence. Technology allows us to identify and map talent faster. Experience allows us to recognize the people who can actually make an impact.

We don't simply match resumes to job descriptions. We look at performance, motivation, leadership, culture, and long-term fit — because the right hire should strengthen both the organization and the career of the person joining it.

After nearly 20 years, our business continues to be built the same way it began: through relationships, results, and a reputation we're proud to stand behind.

The Kleinbach Group is a certified Women's Business Enterprise (WBE).

Who We Are

TKG was founded in 2006 by Lyn Kleinbach, a top executive recruiter with over 30 years of recruiting experience in the healthcare industry. Simply stated, she has built a boutique firm providing premium talent to healthcare firms across the country through the outstanding service of a small agency with the customized resources of a large firm.

Our team of recruiters brings a wealth of experience across diverse industries. They are respectful, diligent and responsive, implementing an integrated approach to sourcing the sales and marketing talent our clients need to be competitive.

What We Believe

Great talent doesn’t come from one background, one career path, or one way of thinking.

I have believed that since I founded The Kleinbach Group in 2006.

For nearly two decades, TKG has been committed to opening doors for talented people and helping our clients look beyond the obvious candidate. We have a long history of supporting women in the workplace and of seeking out professionals whose experience, perspective, or potential may otherwise be overlooked.

For us, inclusive recruiting isn’t a slogan. It’s simply good recruiting.

The strongest companies are built by people who bring different experiences, ideas, strengths, and perspectives to the table. Our job as recruiters is to search broadly, evaluate fairly, and make sure exceptional people have the opportunity to be considered.

That means challenging assumptions about what the “perfect candidate” looks like.

It means looking beyond a familiar company name, a traditional career path, or a perfectly matched resume.

It means evaluating people for what they have accomplished, what they are capable of, and what they can bring to an organization.

How We Put That Belief Into Practice

– We actively seek talent from a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, and career paths.
– We help clients examine job requirements that may unnecessarily limit an otherwise exceptional candidate pool.
– We focus on demonstrated performance, potential, leadership, and alignment — not simply keywords on a resume.
– We encourage hiring teams to consider where unconscious assumptions may be narrowing their search.
– We continue to build relationships with talented professionals throughout the diagnostics and life sciences communities, including those who may not be actively looking for their next opportunity.

Our responsibility is to bring our clients the strongest talent we can find and to give exceptional people a fair opportunity to be seen.

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity isn’t always. Great recruiting helps close that gap.

That has been part of TKG from the beginning, and it will continue to be part of who we are.

Testimonials

In less than two days I had my first call with the hiring manager and an in-person interview only two business days after that.  Lyn prepped me for each interview and gave me background information that prepared me much more than any research I could have done on my own.  The feedback shared with me after each interview was invaluable and helped prepare me for the next steps of the process.  Lastly, working with you eliminated the need for any negotiating on my end.  I was able to accept the initial offer without any hesitation and no need to counteroffer.

I am so grateful. As you know I was not planning on being in the job market and this was a very stressful time for me.  You helped place me in a position that I believe is even better than the role I held previously, at a company I could only dream of working at.  I hope to have a long and prosperous career and recommend TKG to any professional hoping to land a new position within the healthcare space.

I have worked with Lyn for 30 years and have always found her, and her team, to be highly engaged and effective.  I like the fact that they spend a lot of time up front to have a deep understanding of my needs and what I hope to accomplish.  TKG is definitely one of my top, go-to recruiting resources!

It all started with you, Lyn. I’ve been at Roche for 11 years!

In the recruiting process, communication is key, and TKG excels in this area. Their ability to both source and present candidates with the skillset required for the given role is outstanding. From a candidate standpoint, their interview prep and support through the process were tremendously helpful in making sure I nailed the interviews and put me in the best position to earn the offer. Lyn and Ashley’s communication was insightful and informative through both the interviewing process I went through as a candidate and as I hired employees for my growing team.  TKG is dialed in to the life sciences market segment and in a matter of a few weeks can produce a competitive slate of candidates to evaluate.

The personal, friendly and professional service, communications, and interactions with The Kleinbach Group were outstanding! The hiring expectations and timeline were clearly communicated and provided great comfort and understanding. I highly recommend The Kleinbach Group for any candidate and/or company hiring in the diagnostic industry.  Over a long career, Ashley and Lyn simply provided the best hiring experience I’ve ever encountered!

I am extremely thankful for you. But even more, I am so impressed. I have never seen such a diligent recruiter, from a client and candidate perspective, and I won’t hesitate to share your name with my more senior peers in the industry that are open to expanding their exclusive relationship networks. You are a gem amongst your counterparts for sure – and more companies would attract better hires as a result of working with you – without a doubt! Your pride in your work and as a business partner to those with whom you work is noteworthy to say the absolute least!

Ashley and TKG know exactly what skills and background to look for and how to find the right fit for both candidate and employer. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and communication were outstanding. We prepared before and debriefed after each round of interviews to make sure l was offered support when I needed it. Their expertise and dedication were crucial in securing my job offer at Abbott. I would like to express my utmost appreciation for creating a seamless and efficient recruitment experience. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a top-notch recruiter.
