Hartmann Young

Hartmann Young is a specialist recruitment agency focused exclusively on life sciences leadership hiring. The company provides three core services: executive search for C-suite and senior commercial, scientific, technical and operational leaders; board positions including non-executive directors, chairs and advisory board members; and project build-outs and scale-up support for new market entry, international expansion and team build-outs. Hartmann Young operates with precision and market knowledge built through sustained engagement rather than transactional contact, serving founders, investors, scientists and senior operators across global life sciences markets.

Hartmann Young specialises in eight core life sciences sectors: life science tools, diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, contract services, medical technology, health and nutrition, and animal sciences. The company's deep understanding of each sector's language, regulations and talent pools enables them to identify candidates worth a conversation before a search begins. Their expertise spans from early-stage hiring through to post-investment and IPO transitions, supporting organisations from seed funding through to filing.

The company operates across APAC, EMEA and USA with headquarters in Leeds, United Kingdom. Hartmann Young is guided by an advisory board of industry leaders and serves life sciences companies under pressure to deliver, combining truly global delivery capability with local market insight. Clients choose Hartmann Young for their resourcefulness, persistence in candidate sourcing, professional communication and competitive rates, positioning them as a trusted, knowledgeable partner for long-term growth in the life sciences sector.
