For consultants
You bring the experience. We go and find the work.
Most of the people we place came to us, not the other way round. Send your resume, have one honest conversation, and we start putting you in front of the clients and partners we work with.
Why people come to us
Being experienced does not make the search easier. Sometimes it makes it harder.
If you have ten years in validation, regulatory affairs or clinical operations, your problem is not a shortage of job adverts. It is that the adverts are written by people who cannot read your CV properly, screened by software that keys on the wrong words, and answered by three hundred others. The roles that would actually suit you are often filled before they are ever posted.
The other problem is silence. You submit, you wait, and nothing comes back. Nobody tells you the rate was never viable, or that the client filled it internally, or that your profile went out and lost on one specific thing you could have addressed.
We work the other way round. Tell us what you do, what you want and what you will not accept, and we go to market with it. You will hear back on every submission, including the ones that do not land, and you will hear why.
Send your resume
Under 2 MB. PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, PPT or PPTX.
We never present your profile to a client without your permission. No fees, ever.
What you get
What working with us actually means.
No fees, ever. We are paid by the client, never by you.
A recruiter who reads your CV properly
Our recruiters work only in life sciences. They know what a design history file is, what CSV traceability means, and why a CRA II is not a CRA I.
- You explain the work once, not three times
- Screened on substance rather than keywords
- Represented accurately to the client
Straight answers
The rate, the duration, the client type and the reason it is open, before you decide to interview.
- No mystery clients or vague durations
- Told early if the rate does not clear your number
- A realistic read on your chances
Feedback every time
Including the no, and including why.
- You learn something from every submission
- Your profile gets stronger, not just older
- No silence after a submission
Engagement models that suit you
W2, Corp-to-Corp, 1099, contract-to-hire or permanent.
- Invoice through your own entity if you prefer
- W2 with payroll and compliance handled
- Conversion terms agreed up front
We keep working after you start
A check-in during week one and month one, and someone to call if the engagement is not what was described.
- Problems fixed early rather than endured
- A relationship, not a transaction
- Your next engagement lined up before this one ends
Roles you would not have seen
Much of what we fill comes through client and partner relationships rather than public postings.
- Access to work that never gets advertised
- Considered before a role goes to market
- A recruiter who calls you when something fits

Fees, at any stage, for any reason
Client testimonials are being collected and will be published here once the clients concerned have approved the wording in writing.We do not publish quotes we have not been given permission to use.
How we place you
From resume to start date, with no silence in between.
Every step, what we do, and what we need from you. If we ever fall short of this, tell us and we will fix it.
You send a resume
No portal, no account, no twelve-field form. A file and a phone number is enough.
We call you, usually the same day
What you actually do, what you want next, your rate expectation, your notice, and where you will travel. Twenty minutes, and it is the step that determines everything after it.
We tell you what we honestly see
If your rate expectation is above the market, you hear it now. If your profile is strong and under-priced, you hear that too. This conversation costs you nothing and is worth having even if we never place you.
You approve every submission
Your resume does not go anywhere without your yes. You always know which client has it and when it went.
Interview preparation that is specific
Who you are meeting, what they care about, what the last person got wrong. Not a generic tip sheet.
Offer and paperwork done properly
Rate, duration, engagement model and start date in writing. Then I-9 and E-Verify, background checks and any client-specific screening, handled so it does not delay your start.
We stay in contact
A check-in in week one and month one, then periodically. Most problems on an engagement are fixable if someone hears about them early.
What helps
What we need from you.
This works both ways. Four things make the difference between a fast placement and a slow one.
An honest rate number
The real one, not the aspirational one.
- We stop wasting your time on roles that cannot pay it
- We can argue for you with evidence
- No renegotiation at offer stage
Tell us who else has your resume
Duplicate submissions to the same client damage you more than anyone.
- We avoid a clash that gets you rejected on process
- We know where you already stand
- You keep control of your own profile
Quick responses
Interview slots move fast, especially for scarce skills.
- You stay in the running
- We can hold a slot with confidence
- The client reads it as genuine interest
Tell us the real reason for a no
If you turn something down, we would rather know why.
- The next role we bring you fits better
- We stop showing you the wrong work
- It takes one sentence
Refer a colleague
A referral from someone who has worked beside you beats any screening we can do.
We can test a candidate on traceability, on CAPA effectiveness, on how they would defend a potency assay. What we cannot test in an hour is whether they hold up in month six of a difficult programme, whether they escalate a problem or bury it, and whether the client will want them back.
You already know that about the people you have worked with. A colleague you would work with again is a stronger signal than anything on a CV, which is why referred consultants are the ones we move on fastest.
So this is a straightforward ask. If someone comes to mind, send them our way or send us their name and we will reach out properly, without pressure and without pretending we already know them.

Referrals
How we treat a referral.
We contact them properly
A real call explaining who we are and that you suggested it. No cold pitch pretending we found them.
- They know why we are calling
- Your name is used only with your permission
- No pressure and no pipeline chasing
They get the same standard
Straight answers, feedback on every submission, and no fees at any stage.
- Nothing about referral changes how they are treated
- You are not risking your reputation
- They keep control of their own resume
You hear what happened
We will tell you if it worked out, as far as they are happy for us to.
- No black hole after an introduction
- You know your referral was actually contacted
- Closure either way
We say thank you properly
Where an introduction leads to a placement, we recognise it. We discuss that with you directly and confirm it in writing before you refer anyone, rather than advertising terms that would not suit every situation.
- Agreed with you privately, in writing, up front
- Recognised after the placement is established
- No conditions buried in small print
Questions
What consultants ask us.
Do you charge candidates anything?
No. Never, at any stage, for any reason. We are paid by the client. Anyone in this industry who asks you for money for a job, a visa process, training or equipment is running a scam, and our Fraud Alert page explains what to watch for.
I am currently on a project. Is it worth talking now?
Yes, and it is the better time. The consultants who move best are the ones we already know when something opens. A twenty-minute conversation now means you are on our radar rather than starting cold in three months.
Will you send my resume out without telling me?
No. You approve every submission before it goes anywhere, and you will always know which client has your profile. Blind submissions damage you and damage us.
What if I am not sure what I want next?
That is a normal conversation to have. Sometimes the useful outcome is a realistic read on what your experience is worth in the current market and what a step up would require.
What kinds of roles do you actually fill?
Clinical operations, CRAs, data management, biostatistics, regulatory writing and submissions, quality engineering, CAPA, CSV and CQV, LIMS and eQMS, and GxP IT. If your discipline is not on that list, we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
How long does this usually take?
From resume to first submission, often the same week. From submission to offer depends entirely on the client, and we will tell you what their process actually looks like rather than guessing optimistically.
What if I get an offer elsewhere mid-process?
Tell us immediately. We can often accelerate a client, and if we cannot we will say so rather than asking you to gamble. We would rather lose you to a better offer than have you resent a delay we caused.
Will you push me into a role that is wrong for me?
A placement that falls over in month two costs us more than it earns. Our incentive genuinely is a fit that lasts, and if we think a role is wrong for you we will say so before you interview.
Do you keep my resume on file?
Yes, with your consent, and we will contact you when something fits. You can ask us to remove it at any time and we will confirm when it is done.
What happens when my contract ends?
We start on the next one before it does. Consultants who stay with us are the reason we can fill roles quickly, so keeping you working is the whole business model rather than a courtesy.
Is there a reward for referring someone?
Yes, and we agree it with you directly and in writing before you refer anyone. We do not publish terms here, because what is appropriate varies with the discipline, the seniority and the type of engagement, and a single advertised figure would be wrong for most of them. Ask us and you will get a straight answer in the same conversation.
Can I refer someone who is not looking right now?
Yes, and those are often the best introductions. We will make contact, explain who we are and leave it there if the timing is wrong. Nobody gets chased.
Do you need their permission first?
Ask them before you send their details, as a courtesy and because it makes our first call much easier. If you would rather just give us a name and let us find them, tell us and we will approach it that way.
What if I am not a consultant myself?
It does not matter. Hiring managers, former colleagues and people who have simply worked in the sector all refer people to us, and the referral terms are the same.
Will my name be mentioned?
Only if you say we can. Some people prefer the introduction to be attributed, others do not. Tell us which and we will honour it.
