Nexagen Search

Fractional Talent Acquisition provides your company with an experienced biotech recruiting leader on a part-time basis. Rather than hiring a full-time Head of Talent Acquisition, you gain strategic recruiting expertise and day-to-day execution without the long-term commitment of a FTE.

Our model is designed primarily for venture-backed startups and growth-stage biotechnology companies that are actively building teams.

Whether you're making your first scientific hire or building out your C-suite, we tailor our recruiting strategy to the level, complexity, and business objectives of each search.
