At JBK Search, we believe that possibility lives in people. A single strategic hire can ignite innovation, accelerate time to market, or help bring a life-saving therapy to those who need it most.
Founded in 1999, JBK Search was created with a vision to help companies help patients live longer and healthier lives through the candidates we place.
When doctors told our founder "there is no cure" for her daughter's Cystic Fibrosis and her son's Type 1 Diabetes, recruiting shifted from career to calling. Every Regulatory Affairs professional we place, every Quality Assurance leader we connect with companies, every Pharmacovigilance expert we help find their next role—they're all part of the teams working to develop the treatments her children and millions of others need.
This personal investment drives everything we do. We understand that the talent we place isn't just filling roles - they're advancing research, ensuring compliance, and bringing breakthrough treatments to patients who need them most.
The most qualified candidates aren't actively job searching. Through strategic outreach and relationship building, we identify and engage top performers who are excelling in their current roles but open to the right opportunity.
Every candidate is a person, not just keywords on a resume. We ask thoughtful questions to understand the person behind the credentials.
Every client faces unique challenges, not just generic hiring needs. We take time to understand your pain points so we can create tailored solutions.
We encourage our clients to share their company stories so we can attract candidates who are genuinely aligned with their mission, not just seeking any job.
We focus exclusively on three critical functions that bring therapies to patients:
With 26 years of specialized experience in life sciences recruiting, and as a member of the Pinnacle Society, a consortium of the top 80 recruiters nationwide, we bring proven methodologies and extensive networks to every search.
JBK Search embraces AI and automation to enhance efficiency, but never at the cost of personal connection. Technology helps us streamline processes so we can focus on what matters most: building relationships and making the right matches.
Every search receives direct oversight from our founder and CEO, from initiation through successful onboarding. You're not just another client - you're a partner in advancing treatments that matter.
We approach every search with the understanding that these hires are critical to your company's success and to the patients who depend on your innovations.
We don't just make placements - we build lasting relationships that drive real impact in the life sciences industry.
Whether you're preparing for FDA submissions, scaling manufacturing, launching new products, or navigating complex regulatory pathways, we help you hire the critical leaders you can't afford to get wrong.
Right talent. Right company. Real breakthroughs.
No Rest - Because breakthrough therapies can't wait.
