At Barrington James, we’re helping life sciences companies find the talent they need to change lives. As the industry continues to break records in funding, innovation and global expansion -especially in the United States - so does our demand for ambitious individuals ready to grow with us.
We’re looking for people who are hungry to succeed, motivated by results, and ready to learn the art of recruitment from some of the best in the business. You don’t need prior experience, we’ll give you all the training, structure and support you need to become a top-billing consultant. All you need to bring is energy, resilience and a competitive edge - we don't hire backgrounds, we hire mindsets.

* Shorter notice periods - clients and candidates move quickly = you get paid faster
* An unmatched level of demand - companies are hiring aggressively
* Less red tape - US clients move with urgency and clarity

If you're driven by results and motivated by the idea of seeing your work translate directly into commission and career growth, this is the place to be.
What you’ll be doing
* Sourcing and engaging with high-level candidates across the US life sciences sector
* Building strong relationships with both clients and candidates
* Managing the full recruitment cycle from day one, training, outreach, placement and beyond
* Working closely with senior consultants and leadership to learn the business inside-out

* High levels of resilience, you’ll hear "no" more than "yes" in the early days

What you’ll get in return
