Community Recruiting

Community Recruiting was founded in 2000 on a simple but powerful idea: connecting exceptional talent with transformative opportunities in the life sciences sector. Led by CEO and Founder Denise Clements and Managing Partner Ariella Haber, who bring more than 70 years of combined recruiting expertise, the company specialises in identifying and securing precisely targeted talent across disciplines and functions. Community Recruiting works closely with CEOs, HR leaders, and hiring managers to build exceptional teams, leveraging decades of experience to help innovative organisations grow and thrive.

The company's core specialisation lies in life sciences recruitment, where they partner with leading biotechnology companies such as Amgen and Vertex, as well as mid-sized organisations and stealth-mode start-ups poised for growth. Community Recruiting has particular passion for partnering with start-ups, helping founders and visionaries bring their ideas to life and shape the future of science and innovation. They excel at collaborating with people committed to changing the world, offering hands-on experience in building organisations from the ground up across all phases of business growth and financing, from seed funding through to IPOs and acquisitions.

Based in Carmel, California, Community Recruiting operates with a team of 12 talented professionals, including a European presence in Germany, specialising in identifying and building relationships with exceptional candidates worldwide. The company's approach is deeply personal and strategic, helping clients define what they truly need rather than what they think they need, ensuring the best outcomes for every stakeholder. Community Recruiting remains closely involved in every search, knowing who is doing what and where to find the leaders who can make a difference in transformative organisations.
