By Jennifer Maffia, Owner of Advanced Recruiting Partners When candidates are considering their next move in clinical research or biopharma, the conversation often starts with the obvious questions.

By Jennifer Maffia, Owner of Advanced Recruiting Partners Over the years, I’ve watched the definition of a “great candidate” change considerably across life sciences.

FDA Approval Is Only the Beginning: What Replimune’s Success Means for Biotech Talent
By Jennifer Maffia, Owner of Advanced Recruiting Partners FDA approval is one of the most celebrated milestones in biotech, and rightfully so. It represents years of research, clinical development, regulatory work, investment, and persistence. But from a talent perspective, I’ve always viewed approval a little differently.

The People Behind the Breakthroughs
By Jennifer Maffia, Owner of Advanced Recruiting Partners When we hear about a breakthrough in life sciences, we usually hear about the result. A promising therapy enters clinical trials. A study produces meaningful results. A new treatment earns approval. A product finally reaches the patients who need it. What we don’t always hear about are the people who made […]

The Applicant Avalanche: When More Candidates Make Hiring Harder
By Jennifer Maffia, Owner of Advanced Recruiting Partners There was a time when seeing hundreds of applicants for an open position might have felt like a recruiter’s dream. More candidates meant more choices, and surely somewhere in that enormous stack was the perfect person for the job. Today, I see it differently. In life sciences and biopharma recruiting, […]

Why Internal Alignment Matters Before You Post the Job
By Jennifer Maffia, Owner of Advanced Recruiting Partners When organizations struggle to fill a role, it’s easy to assume the challenge lies in sourcing candidates. Maybe the talent pool is too competitive. Maybe there aren’t enough qualified professionals available. Maybe the recruiter just hasn’t found the right person yet.
