Embedded Recruitment for Life Sciences Talent Acquisition Teams

For Life Sciences organizations that want recruiting capability inside their team, LevelUP provides Embedded Recruitment solutions that strengthen your hiring engine from within.

Our sourcers and recruiters integrate directly with your Talent Acquisition, HR, and business stakeholders—augmenting your internal capacity while bringing external market insight, scientific role expertise, and proven recruiting methodologies.

What Embedded Recruitment Looks Like

Dedicated Life Sciences recruiters aligned with your culture, processes, and hiring priorities
Flexible capacity that scales with clinical trial phases, R&D cycles, or organizational growth
Full transparency into pipelines, hiring activity, candidate quality, and key metrics
Rapid ramp-up compared to traditional agency or contingent models

This model is ideal for Life Sciences companies that need additional support yet want control, continuity, and specialized recruiting expertise—without expanding internal headcount or sacrificing delivery quality.

Roles We Commonly Support in Life Sciences

We recruit across the full Life Sciences ecosystem, including:

Research & Development (Scientists, Lab Managers, R&D Leads)
Clinical Operations & Clinical Trial Management
Regulatory Affairs & Quality (QA/QC, GxP-aligned roles)

Our teams focus on scientific and technical excellence—not generic volume hiring.

Life Sciences recruiting demands trust.

Our teams understand confidentiality requirements, documentation standards, and compliance expectations across GxP, FDA, and EMA-aligned hiring.

How Our Engagements Are Structured (Hybrid Pricing Model)

We believe Life Sciences organizations deserve clear, predictable, and transparent pricing. LevelUP typically operates through a Hybrid Pricing Model for both RPO and Embedded Recruitment:

Monthly Management Fee

A consistent monthly fee that covers the complete recruiting engine, including sourcing, screening, candidate engagement, reporting, and dedicated delivery resources. This ensures your program runs smoothly without fluctuations tied to individual requisitions.

Success Fee

A performance-based fee applied only when a candidate is hired. This aligns our success with your outcomes and reinforces quality, speed, and long-term fit.

Why Clients Prefer This Model

Transparent monthly costs
No hidden markups or surprise invoices
Performance incentives tied directly to hiring outcomes
Ability to scale resources during trial phases, product launches, or rapid growth
Predictable budgeting for scientific and technical hiring

Our Hybrid Pricing Model offers the balance Life Sciences organizations need: operational consistency backed by outcome-driven accountability.
