SEC Life Sciences

SEC Life Sciences is a specialist recruitment company dedicated to connecting life science innovators with exceptional talent across Europe and the United States. For close to four decades, the company has built deep expertise in pharma, biotech, and medtech recruitment, offering three distinct service models tailored to different hiring needs: permanent and direct hires sourced from their extensive four-decade network, contract and temporary staffing for scaling workforces around key milestones, and retained professional and executive search for senior and board-level roles. SEC Life Sciences has completed over 15,000 placements with a 98% retention rate, demonstrating their commitment to meaningful, lasting placements rather than quick fills.

SEC Life Sciences specialises across the full spectrum of life science company growth stages and functions. Their expertise spans research and development, clinical and medical roles, data and technology positions, technical operations, and commercial functions. The company works extensively with pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, contract research organisations, contract development and manufacturing organisations, medical device companies, medtech innovators, and venture capital and private equity firms seeking life science talent.

The company operates genuinely globally across Europe and the United States, offering compliant hiring solutions tailored to regional requirements. SEC Life Sciences differentiates itself through relationship-driven recruitment built on four decades of direct market insight, rather than database scraping or bought lists. Their average time to hire is 32 days, and their approach emphasises outcomes and retention, recognising that a successful placement is one where the hire remains engaged and delivers value to the organisation.
