The challenge
A small biotech start-up needed an oncology scientist with an unusual combination of scientific skills and experience in both large and small companies. Its own job posting and targeted outreach had not found the right person. Another client referred the company to Surf Search.
Our search
We worked our Bay Area candidate network and targeted companies whose scientists had the specific experience the role required. The search produced a shortlist of three candidates.
The timeline
- 3-candidate shortlist2 months
- Offer3 months
Two months to shortlist three candidates; three months to offer.
The result
We filled the role and placed another candidate with the company. The client has since engaged us on two more searches.
