N2 Talent

N2 Talent is a recruitment agency dedicated to enabling engineering biology teams to scale from discovery to real-world impact. The company connects visionary biotech leaders with scientific, engineering and leadership talent driving innovation across therapeutics, diagnostics, drug discovery, sustainable agriculture and clean technologies. Founded by scientists with over 20 years' industry experience in biotech and life sciences, N2 Talent speaks the language of the sector and works as an extension of clients' teams to find people who will thrive alongside them.

N2 Talent specialises across three core sectors: healthtech including therapeutics, diagnostics and drug discovery platforms built on engineered biology; agritech including alternative proteins, biostimulants and crop science; and cleantech including precision fermentation, sustainable materials and clean energy at industrial scale. The company provides expertise across every stage of innovation from discovery to delivery, with particular strength in R&D team building, regulatory navigation across MHRA, EMA and FDA pathways, commercial leadership for market entry, and C-suite and board-level recruitment for visionary leaders balancing scientific rigour with commercial growth.

Frustrated by transactional recruitment approaches, N2 Talent operates as a strategic partner rather than a transactional service, offering market intelligence, competitor insights and improved hiring frameworks. The company has delivered placements over five years with 83 per cent of offers made within 6 weeks, 97 per cent search completion rates, 94 per cent retention after 18 months and 98 per cent client satisfaction returning for additional searches.
