Converting Deep In-Person Pharma Industry Experience into Precise High-Impact Executive and R&D Hiring in Global Biotech, Pharma and Healthcare
Transforming Life Sciences Recruitment
Our Purpose
Execruit was founded to close a critical gap in biopharma talent acquisition. Having operated within global pharmaceutical organisations across R&D, BD&L, and Commercial Operations, we experienced firsthand the disconnect between mainstream recruiters and the scientific, clinical, regulatory, and commercial realities of the roles they were mandated to fill.
As a pharmaceutical industry–specialised executive and professional search firm, we combine deep, first-hand sector experience with precision-driven talent strategy — delivering leaders and highly skilled professionals who accelerate pipelines, strengthen platforms, and advance meaningful patient outcomes.
Our Foundation
Our real-world experience inside the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies gives us rare credibility at the executive table. We understand regulatory complexity, development pipelines, global market dynamics, and scientific nuance because we have worked within them. That perspective shapes every search we undertake.
Time spent within organisations such as Roche reinforced our conviction that life sciences recruitment requires true sector fluency — not just process expertise.
Our approach integrates industry insight with rigorous executive search methodology, ensuring every mandate is aligned to strategic priorities and long-term value creation. We understand the realities of advancing innovation from discovery through commercialisation — and we identify leaders equipped to navigate that journey successfully.
This is executive search purpose-built for life sciences — delivered by professionals who have operated at its core.

We speak your industry’s language. From molecular biology to complex clinical study design, we understand the science behind your strategy.
Whether you need a highly specialised R&D researcher or a commercially driven leader for your, we know where to find the talent that makes an impact.
Setting New Standards
We move with purpose and precision. Shortlisted, fully qualified candidates are typically presented in 7- 10 days, and most roles are successfully filled in 30-45 days.
