Building a key Discovery and Preclinical team for a Biotech startup
The Challenge
A small biotechnology startup in the Bay Area, with a team of around 25 people, was focused on advancing T-cell receptor (TCR) technology and immune-oncology research. As a rapidly growing company, they faced the challenge of expanding their Discovery and Preclinical teams to accelerate their research and development efforts. They needed to bring on board top talent in a highly specialized field, all while maintaining the company’s tight-knit, innovative culture. The client needed help with finding the right candidates who not only possessed the required expertise but could also integrate seamlessly into a fast-paced startup environment.

The Solution
Collaborating closely with one of the company’s founders, we developed a tailored recruitment strategy that targeted professionals with deep expertise in TCRs and immune oncology. By leveraging our extensive network within the biotech industry, we identified and engaged with highly qualified candidates who met the company’s precise requirements.
Over a period of 9 months, we placed five key hires that were critical to the startup’s Discovery and Preclinical teams. Our approach ensured that each hire was not only a technical fit but also aligned with the company’s culture and long-term vision.
