Biotech & Pharma Recruitment

Boston, Hybrid

Competitive Basic Salary + Commission

Full time, permanent

BioTalent's story began in 2018, and we've gone from strength to strength ever since. Today, we're firmly established as a market leader in Life Sciences recruitment, known for rewarding high performers and developing ambitious talent.

We provide end-to-end recruitment solutions for biotech and pharmaceutical companies, with a mission to make a positive impact on global health. Headquartered in London, we operate across six international locations, with exciting plans for further growth across the US and Europe.

Boston is the heart of the global biotech ecosystem, and it's where we're building our next high-performing team.

Our specialist teams cover Research & Development, Engineering & CQV, Data Science & AI, Quality, Clinical, Regulatory, Medical & Drug Safety, and Commercial.

Why BioTalent?

• We're serious about performance, growth and long-term careers. With an established Learning & Development function, highly experienced senior leadership and a proven track record of scaling talent, we help consultants grow from $400k billers into $1m+ recruiters.
• Across The IN Group, seven-figure billers aren't the exception, they're the standard. So is up to 50% commission.

The Opportunity

We're hiring Business Developers, 360 Recruiters and Account Managers to join our Boston office. This is a client-facing role that gives you real ownership of your market. You'll develop your own business, build relationships with biotech and pharma clients, and deliver best-in-class talent solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive new business development, client management and land-and-expand strategies across biotech and pharma
• Source and headhunt top talent through LinkedIn Recruiter and specialist life sciences channels
• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle, from sourcing and submission through to offer negotiation and onboarding
• Coordinate interviews, gather feedback and provide consultative, value-led advice to clients and candidates
• Keep accurate, up-to-date records in Bullhorn
• Build and nurture long-lasting relationships across your network

What We're Looking For

• A proven, consistent billing record in a 360 recruitment role
• Strong business development skills and a confident, consultative approach
• Biotech, pharma or wider life sciences experience is a plus, but not essential if you're eager to learn
• The ability to build rapport, solve problems and thrive under pressure
• A self-starter mentality with ambition, optimism and natural leadership qualities
• Results-driven and financially motivated, with a commitment to excellence
• Organized, reliable and dedicated to high standards

What You'll Get in Return

• Tailored leadership training and ongoing mentorship from your Director
• Industry-leading commission of up to 50%, plus bonuses, incentives and competitions
• Extensive Learning & Development and access to the best recruitment technology on the market
• Generous PTO, including birthday leave, charity days and period leave
• Flexible working, including remote options
• Company lunches, all-expenses-paid trips and regular team socials
• Healthcare subsidies, gym memberships and wellbeing initiatives
• A mature, inclusive and supportive environment with genuine career progression. Many of our consultants double their billings within a year.
