The Smartest Way to Hire

When it comes to executive and critical role hiring, the stakes are too high for guesswork. Retained Search with TalentSwell ensures a dedicated, exclusive partnership and we don’t stop until an exceptional hire is in place.

We offer search and recruiting advisory services designed to help biotech & biopharma, life sciences, and digital health and healthcare innovation companies build high-performing teams. Whether you need a bespoke executive search, contingent search expertise, or strategic recruiting consulting, our services are built for growth and deliver exceptional talent to clients.


Unlike contingent models, retained search guarantees your priority access to our expertise, networks, and time. For you, it means confidence that your role will be filled—with the right person, not just a well-qualified candidate.
