Build and maintain a warm talent pipeline of LIMS professionals for current and future
hiring needs
Engage candidates with tailored outreach that demonstrates genuine understanding of
their technical background
Screening & Assessment:
Conduct in-depth phone and video screens to assess technical fluency with LIMS
platforms (e.g., LabVantage, LabWare, STARLIMS)
Evaluate consultant-specific competencies including implementation experience,
validation, client-facing skills, and domain expertise (pharma, biotech, CRO/CDO
environments)
Collaboration & Process:
Partner with hiring managers to develop accurate, compelling job descriptions for niche
informatics roles
Manage requisitions and candidate records within the company’s applicant tracking
system with timely and accurate updates
Regularly communicate pipeline status, risks, and recommendations to stakeholders
Required Qualifications:
- 3+ years of recruiting experience with demonstrated success filling laboratory informatics or life sciences consulting roles
- Direct experience recruiting LIMS consultants or implementation professionals
- Strong understanding of the laboratory informatics ecosystem, including key vendors, platforms, and the consulting landscape
- Proven ability to source and engage passive, highly specialized technical candidates
- Familiarity with biotech, pharmaceutical, or CRO/CDO environments and their informatics needs
- Proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter and at least one ATS platform (e.g., Zoho, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Workday)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to build credibility with technical hiring managers and candidates alike
Preferred Qualifications:
- Prior experience at a staffing agency or consulting firm specializing in life sciences
- Existing network of LIMS consultants and implementation professionals
- Familiarity with regulated environments (21 CFR Part 11, GxP, HIPAA) and how they affect hiring requirements
- Experience recruiting for roles with both functional and technical dimensions (e.g. validation, configuration, data migration)
- Background or education in life sciences, chemistry, biology, or a related scientific field is a plus
