One partner, whether you hire one role at a time or run hiring in-house.

Choose the model that fits how you hire today. Both are built on the same engine: total market reach, refined by a real recruiter.

Fixed-fee exclusive search

For growing biotech teams

Life-science companies of roughly 10 to 200 people, hiring a role at a time, with no internal recruitment function.

We run your search end to end on a low, fixed fee, in exchange for exclusivity on the role. You get the reach of a full search team and the focus of a single trusted partner, without agency-style percentage fees.

  • A predictable fixed fee, up to 50% below traditional agency rates
  • Every candidate sourced from the whole market, not just active applicants
  • A human shortlist from a 25-year life-sciences network
  • Most roles filled in 3 to 4 weeks
PCC AI Talent Partner

For teams that already recruit

Companies of 200+ staff with an internal HR or talent function doing some of the hiring themselves.

A done-for-you sourcing engine that hands your team an exhaustive, machine-learning-refined shortlist within minutes. One flat subscription replaces the job boards, recruiter-tool seats and agency invoices. We don't replace your team. We become their sourcing engine.

  • Exhaustive market access in minutes, on every role
  • Machine learning that sharpens to your perfect hire each round
  • A transparent, live pipeline tracker your team controls
  • One predictable subscription, for considerably less than the stack it replaces
How it works

The whole market in. A shortlist out. A person in between.

Traditional hiring reaches about 20% of the market, the people actively looking. Our technology reaches the rest, then a recruiter who knows your field decides what lands on your desk.

  • 1Map the market. AI-powered search across social platforms, direct networks and our 25-year database builds an exhaustive picture of who could do the role.
  • 2Refine with judgement. An experienced PCC consultant filters the map into a shortlist of people genuinely worth your time.
  • 3Learn and sharpen. Your feedback trains the system to zoom closer to your perfect hire on every round.
The entire market funnelled to a dynamic shortlist in minutes
The 80% you never see

Your best next hire probably isn't applying.

Only about 10% of any market are high performers, and traditional methods reach just 20% of candidates. The strongest people are rarely the ones actively looking, so most processes never see them.

We close that gap. From 20% of the market to all of it, mapped in minutes rather than months, so you choose from the whole field instead of whoever happened to apply.

From 20% traditional access to 100% of the market
You're in good company
