And that’s where you come in.

🌍 About Us:

Headquartered in London with six international offices (and more opening across Europe and the USA in 2025/2026), BioTalent specializes in placing exceptional talent into critical roles across Life Sciences. Our expertise covers:

  • Keep our ATS (Bullhorn) up-to-date and accurate.

  • Build long-lasting, impactful relationships across your network.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience in 360 recruitment, with a solid track record of strong billings.

  • Confident business developer with the ability to win and grow client accounts.
