Built on understanding,
delivered with precision.

In biotech, growth isn’t just about hiring great people, it’s about hiring great people that fit. We help emerging biotechs build teams that work together from the start and hold up as they scale from clinical to commercial.

Start Your Sequence

Scaling shouldn’t stall your mission.

In biotech, your timeline is your lifeline. Most companies hit a critical point where talent needs outpace internal bandwidth. At that moment, the difference between a talent partner who understands you and one who doesn’t is the difference between momentum and stall. The cost isn’t just organisational.

The cost of getting the sequence wrong:

Missed momentum:
Delays in securing key talent slow progress against critical milestones

Fragmented strategy:
Juggling multiple points of contact creates disconnected hiring strategies

Operational drag:
Administrative burden pulls leadership away from high-value strategy

Brand risk:
Poor candidate experience weakens your position in new talent markets

What a mile-deep
partnership looks like.

We treat your business challenges as our own. By internalizing your culture and mission, we apply the same diligence to your growth as we would to our own company. We stay close to the work, because your successes are our successes.

Built to

how your team grows.

We deliver across multiple areas, but always with the same focus: how each piece contributes to the whole.

  • Retained direct hire solutions for senior appointments, delivered by specialist recruiters.

  • A fully embedded talent delivery model for periods of rapid expansion or field force growth.

  • Provision of independent consultants and contractors to support urgent or temporary projects.

  • Managing the administrative burden—from scheduling to ATS workflows—so you can stay strategic.

How we approach the work.

Our work is grounded in three principles:

Understand your DNA

We build a clear view of your organisation—your values, culture, structure, dynamics, and trajectory—so every decision is made in context, not in isolation.


Sequence the build

What our clients experience.

  • Chief Commercial Officer, oncology biotech:

    “Sequence goes beyond delivering high quality candidates quickly. They operate as true strategic partners, guiding the process to achieve a more thoughtful and elevated hiring outcome.

    From the very first search, they operated as an extension of the team and consistently introduced talent that strengthened both our culture and overall working environment.”

  • Head of HR UK & EU, neurology biotech:

    “They made a clear effort to understand our organization, which allowed them to connect seamlessly across all levels. The impact has been lasting, with hires who continue to build relationships and succeed within the organization. It’s just easy, transparent, trusted. Even after time apart, we can pick up right where we left off.”

  • Head of HR, radiopharmaceutical biotech:

    “They focus on long term relationships over short term gain. There is trust that they will find the right solution, even if it requires more effort, and honesty when something is not working so we can collaborate on a better outcome. Their input from the market and their experience shapes how I think about hiring and organizational structure.”

  • VP, Talent, oncology biotech:

    “My experience working with the team at SEQUENCE has been defined by their generosity in making meaningful connections and the way they show up as true confidants—not just search partners—paired with a deep, global understanding of the biotech landscape.”

  • Head of HR & Operations, cardiometabolic biotech

    “I consider the team at Sequence to be an integral part of our recruitment strategy. They are exceptionally talented at keeping up with the trends in recruiting, understanding the market and what attracts a candidate to a role. They are able to find the perfect balance of using the latest technology to identify candidates and the lost art of calling a candidate to find out if they would be interested in a role. Most importantly, they have taken the time to learn about our company and values. They are able to precisely focus and find outstanding candidates who have our shared values.”

  • Head of Talent Acquisition, rare disease biotech:

    “The most important consideration when selecting a vendor is finding a partner that will truly listen to your needs & represent that in the right way externally, appreciating that the company needs might evolve over the course of the search. I have worked with the leaders at Sequence for many years & always found the team to be thoughtful in their approach, fully committed to identifying the right talent from an extensive global network & being upfront when challenges arise.  I would have no hesitation recommending them as a partner.”
