The search business I want to build.
Purpose. Reputation. Focus.
Purpose
Joseph Johnson Biosearch was created to build the kind of search business I would want to work with myself: specialist, honest, well connected and personally accountable.
Reputation
After more than ten years in life science recruitment, I have seen how much trust matters. Senior candidates are careful about who they speak to, and clients are equally careful about who represents their business. Reputation is built through consistency, good judgement and doing what you say you will do.
Focus
Many of the relationships I rely on have been developed over years. I am building Joseph Johnson Biosearch as a focused, reputation-led search partner rather than a high-volume recruitment business, working closely with organisations where specialist knowledge, direct access and careful execution can make a genuine difference.
Why founder-led?
You work directly with the person accountable for the outcome.
Values
Insight. Access. Execution.
Insight
A clear, honest view of the CDMO and CRO talent market. What the brief will realistically attract. What compensation looks like. What strong candidates are prioritising. Where searches stall and why.
Access
Direct reach into a narrow but deep network of specialist commercial and technical operations talent across the US and Europe. Senior people who are rarely visible through job adverts or databases and who only engage when the platform, timing and opportunity are right.
Execution
Founder-led delivery from brief to close. No hand-offs. No loss of context. The same person who understands the brief, maps the market, approaches candidates and manages the process remains accountable throughout.
