Embracing a New Chapter: Expanding Our Regulatory Affairs Focus
November 14, 2025
A Strategic Step Forward
At JBK Search, our mission has always been clear: to connect top talent with companies driving innovation. We believe these connections have the power to change lives—accelerating medical breakthroughs that help people live longer, healthier lives. With decades of experience in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries, we're excited to expand our existing focus in Regulatory Affairs (RA) and grow this important area of our recruiting expertise.
We've placed many talented Regulatory Affairs professionals over the years and are thrilled to build on this foundation by adding team members dedicated to serving the unique needs of this dynamic sector.
Why Regulatory Affairs Matters More Than Ever
Why the continued focus on Regulatory Affairs? It's simple: Regulatory Affairs is where innovation meets impact. As the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries evolve at lightning speed, RA professionals are the ones working to ensure that advancements reach the market with precision and urgency. They play a crucial role in protecting public health, ensuring quality, and ultimately delivering life-saving treatments to the people who need them most. It is a high-impact field, and we're honored to deepen our commitment to this space.
Our Commitment to Growth and Flexibility
For us, this shift is an opportunity to apply our established recruiting skills in new ways that align with our company's mission. Brenda Patterson, our founder and lead recruiter, brings over 20 years of experience connecting top-tier industry professionals with transformative biopharma companies. Our expanded focus on Regulatory Affairs reflects our 'why' at JBK: to cultivate relationships that spark innovation, bring hope, and improve lives.
In addition to building our Regulatory Affairs practice, we're also expanding into contract staffing recruitment. We recognize that companies increasingly need flexible staffing solutions to keep pace with changing demands. By offering contract staffing services, we can help organizations remain efficient while giving professionals more diverse opportunities.
While we've built a reputation as recruiting experts, we believe it's essential to always maintain a learner's mindset. The Regulatory Affairs industry is constantly evolving, and staying open-minded is how we grow and thrive. Our approach is rooted in adaptability—staying curious, embracing fresh ideas, and building meaningful relationships with the people we get to work with.
