The European Life Sciences sector has, for over two decades, turned to Horton International and Ruston Poole International (our former incarnation) for its senior level recruitment needs across all functions.
Not only have we played a major role in the recruitment of numerous senior executives and board members throughout the sector, but we continue to share our knowledge of the biotechnology industry by providing valuable insights, including our annual European Life Sciences survey.
We are proud of our reputation, built over 25 years, as being the “go-to” recruitment partner to the industry.
Paul Edwards is the lead consultant for the Life Science sector.
